Waiver for Annual Validation for 64 Kb ECHS Card Holder above 80 Years of Age
All ECHS beneficiaries who have been provided with 64KB ECHS Smart Card and are above 80 yrs of age will be exempted from Annual Validation with effect from 19 Jul 2024.
In case the cards of ECHS beneficiaries who have 64KB ECHS Smart Card and are above 80 yrs of age have been blocked due to inability to carry out Annual Validation then those beneficiaries need to visit OIC Parent Polyclinic to unblock the cards.
Henceforth, all beneficiaries whose cards are unblocked and are above 80 yrs age will continue to avail the exemption of Annual Validation.
