Prime Minister’s Relief Fund Process:

1. Eligibility Check:

1. The patient must have been diagnosed with cancer to be eligible for the relief fund.
2. Generally, financial aid from the PMNRF is granted to individuals who are in distress due to major health issues, including cancer, and cannot afford treatment expenses.
3. The patient's Ayushmaan card will be checked through the Samagra ID portal. If the Ayushmaan card is valid, the treatment will be conducted through the Ayushmaan Bharat scheme and not the Prime Minister's Relief Fund.

2. Gather Necessary Documents:

1. Application form which can be obtained from the hospital
2. Detailed medical reports, including diagnosis reports like Biopsy, etc and treatment plans including Chemotherapy, Radiotherapy and Surgery
3. Estimate of the treatment cost from the hospital
4. Identity proof (Aadhaar card), Samagra ID and a Photograph

2. Submission of Application:

1. Submit the application along with all the required documents through a Member of Parliament (MP) from the constituency where the applicant or patient resides. The MP will then forward it to the Prime Minister's Office (PMO).

3. Verification Process:

1. Once the application is received, it will undergo a verification process. The PMO may contact the hospital and the applicant to verify the details provided.
2. If the application is approved or rejected, the patient will be informed through SMS.

4. Important Points

1. Ensure that all documents are genuine and complete to avoid delays or rejection.
2. Maintain a copy of all documents submitted for your records.
3. The Prime Minister’s Relief Fund can be granted only once in a lifetime. This fund is valid for two years, and if the amount is not used within this period, the validity can be extended.
