Issuing of cards to ESI beneficiaries is a continuous process as new members continuously keep entering the scheme through employment. Nearly 80 lakh beneficiaries have been enrolled upto 30.11.2011. The process of issuing of Smart Cards to remaining Insured Persons is on.

For Pehchan Card, there is no separate cost estimate as this is a sub-component of Project Panchdeep.
