Before this card is issued to a beneficiary, government officials verify the identity of the person at a PMJAY kiosk. This is done with the help of a document like an Aadhar Card or Ration Card. The family identification proofs can include a government certified list of members, RSBY Card and a PM Letter. After the verification is complete, the e-card is printed along with the unique AB-PMJAY ID.
