Out of these, 15-20 people are such whose name is not the same in the Aadhar card, ration card and other documents. Because of this, these people have to make rounds of offices to get their name corrected. For this, people are facing a lot of trouble. In Ghazipur, 245 people have come in the ineligible category due to difference in the name in the documents. In this scheme, more than 245 eligible people in Ghazipur have come in the category of ineligible forever only because the spelling of their name is different in the Ayushman card and Aadhar card. In such a case, the entire family is eligible for the Ayushman Yojana, but those whose names are spelled incorrectly have been deemed ineligible. When the department informed the headquarters of the Ayushman Yojana about this, the reply came that there is currently no provision for amendment in the name of the card. This is a clear indication that the complainant has become ineligible for the scheme.
