If you or someone in your family is suffering from a serious illness, you can apply for the CM Fund. To do this, you need to obtain an estimate from the hospital, provide the patient’s Aadhaar card, income certificate, and a written application. You need to take all these documents to your local district office and submit them online. Verification by the accountant follows, and the government sends the treatment money to your hospital. If you wish to apply for other services, you can see the process below.

The process and eligibility criteria for receiving assistance from the Chief Minister’s (CM) Fund vary by state. However, this fund is generally available to economically weaker and needy individuals.
