How many ABHA health IDs have been created in India?

History

The count is the total number of ABHA (Ayushman Bharat Health Account) numbers created under the Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission since it started, not the number of people using them each month.

The figures side by side

How we got this number

1. Read the national count from the Health Minister's Lok Sabha reply as reported on 7 August 2026: 95.99 crore ABHA IDs created as of 31 July 2026.
2. Add earlier counts from official releases: 73.90 crore on 3 February 2025 and 79.75 crore on 1 August 2025 (PIB), 90 crore on 30 May 2026 (Health Ministry via News On AIR) and over 93 crore in PIB's 6 July 2026 note.
3. Subtract 79.75 crore from 95.99 crore to get the rise over about a year.

What this number does not tell you

• We could not open the Lok Sabha reply itself. The 95.99 crore figure is read from a news report that quotes it (Health Ministry, reported by Kashmir Life).
• The May and July 2026 milestones are rounded down ('crossed 90 crore', 'over 93 crore'), so the chart steps are approximate.
• This is a count of IDs created. It does not say how many are actively used, and one person can create more than one.
