Linking of the Ayushman Bharat Health Account (ABHA) number with the Central Government Health Scheme (CGHS) Beneficiary ID has been extended for 120 days or four months from 30 June 2024. To better assist CGHS beneficiaries, the government said in a statement that kiosks would be made operational at all wellness centres by June 30. The government was aiming to allocate ABHA ID and benefits for all Indians at every health facility. The ministry came up with the statement to clarify "misinformation" in the healthcare sphere around the recent move to link the CGHS Beneficiary ID to the ABHA number. ABHA is a unique health ID based purely on Aadhaar. The need for ABHA (separate health ID) arose because one cannot save or store an Aadhaar on any system without implementing an Aadhaar vault and other security systems.
