Haryana Govt, through the Ayushman Bharat–Haryana Health Protection Authority, is implementing (AB-PMJAY) and CHIRAYU to provide cashless indoor treatment of up to ₹5 lakh to more than 45 lakh eligible families across the state.
Responding to concerns raised by the Indian Medical Association (IMA), Haryana Govt regarding withdrawal of services, a spokesperson clarified that all pending payments to empanelled hospitals are being processed strictly as per NHA and GoI guidelines. Priority is being given to smaller hospitals and health facilities, with adequate funds sanctioned to clear outstanding dues without delay.
So far, claims filed up to the second week of June 2025 have been settled. Since the launch of the scheme, hospitals have received over ₹3,100 crore. For FY 2025–26 (up to 18th August 2025), nearly ₹480 crore has been released by the Centre and State and fully utilized for claim settlements. Since 5th August 2025, around ₹225 crore has already been disbursed, while another ₹291 crore has been sanctioned for release under the CHIRAYU scheme.
