1.Open the Umang app or ESIC services on the portal. Under the ESI Act, insured workers and their dependents are entitled to medical and cash benefits, but accessing that care at an ESIC hospital or dispensary requires proof of coverage. Without a physical or digital copy of the e-Pehchan card on hand, workers can face delays or confusion at the point of treatment, especially in urgent situations where there’s no time to chase down paperwork. Since the card can be pulled up as a PDF on a phone, keeping a saved copy removes this friction entirely, well before it becomes a problem. The e-Pehchan card can be downloaded either through the ESIC Insured Person portal or through the Umang app, a central government platform that bundles access to services like ESIC, EPF passbook checks, gas cylinder bookings and more into a single app. Install Umang from the Play Store or App Store if it isn’t already on your phone, or head to the ESIC section on the portal.
