How to Get a CGHS Card

Eligible Central Government employees, pensioners, and their dependent family members can apply for a CGHS card through the official CGHS online system. The myCGHS mobile app helps registered beneficiaries access and download their cards and use other healthcare services; it is not a substitute for the new-card application process. 

Step 1: Check eligibility

Confirm that you belong to a category eligible for CGHS benefits, such as an eligible Central Government employee or pensioner and their eligible dependants.

Step 2: Open the official CGHS website

Visit the official CGHS website and locate the online CGHS card application service.

Step 3: Complete the application

Fill in the required personal details and information about eligible dependent family members. Follow the instructions applicable to your employment or pension status.

Step 4: Upload or submit supporting documents

Depending on the applicant category, the required documents may include:

• Identity proof for the applicant and eligible dependants.
• Recent photographs of the applicant and dependants.
• Pay slip showing the applicable pay scale and CGHS deduction, where required.
• Pension-related documents for pensioner applications.
• Disability certificate for a dependent, if applicable.

Check the current application instructions for the exact document list.

Step 5: Submit the application through the appropriate authority

Serving employees generally submit the online application, print and sign the required form, and forward it through their department or Head of Office for processing. Eligible pensioners follow the applicable pensioner application process. The concerned CGHS authority scrutinises the application.

Step 6: Pay the applicable contribution, if required

Where a contribution is payable, complete the payment after following the official application and approval instructions. The amount depends on the applicable rules and beneficiary category.

Step 7: Download your CGHS card using myCGHS

Once your card has been issued:

1. Download the official myCGHS app from the Google Play Store or the Apple App Store.
2. Open the app and log in using your CGHS beneficiary ID and registered mobile number, following the authentication instructions.
3. Set up the app’s security PIN as prompted.
4. Use the available card-download service to access your CGHS card and index card.

The app also supports services such as appointment booking, viewing medical history, checking claim status and locating wellness centres.
