UMID Card Rules (Unique Medical Identity Card)

A UMID Card is a smart unique medical card issued by Indian Railways to serving employees, pensioners and their dependents.
It enables cashless and paperless medical treatment at Railway Hospitals and empanelled private hospitals across the country.
The application process is digital and is completed online through the official UMID portal.
The employee is required to upload service records, Aadhaar card, PAN card, passport-size photographs and relevant dependency documents.
After administrative verification and approval, a virtual UMID card is generated and can be downloaded or printed.
Spouse: A legally wedded spouse is eligible.
Daughters: Unmarried, widowed or divorced daughters are eligible when completely financially dependent on the railway employee.
Sons: Sons are eligible up to 21 years of age if studying or wholly dependent. A son with a physical or mental disability who cannot earn a livelihood remains eligible for life, irrespective of age.
Dependent parents: Their combined monthly income from all sources must be below the threshold fixed by the Railway Board (stated here as ₹9,000 + Dearness Allowance).
Dependent siblings: Under specified conditions, minor brothers or unmarried sisters may be included if the father is deceased and they are entirely dependent on the employee.

Confirm current applicability with the competent Railway Medical Authority before acting on these provisions.
