  • ABHA OTP
  • Mobile OTP
  • Fingerprint authentication

The account management section may also provide options for changing or delinking the registered mobile number.

Creating and accessing an ABHA account and digital ABHA Card is generally provided as a digital health service. However, if a cyber café or service provider prints the card or provides additional assistance, the provider may charge a reasonable service or printing fee.
