ANNEXURE REGARDING IMPLEMENTATION STATUS OF PM RAHAT SCHEME.
S.No.
State/UTs
In accordance with the legal mandate under Section 162 of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988, the PM-RAHAT (Road Accident Victims' Hospitalisation and Assured Treatment) scheme was launched for nationwide implementation on 13.02.2026, with the primary objective of reducing fatalities due to road accidents by ensuring timely and uninterrupted medical care to road accident victims including during the critical Golden Hour i.e., the time period lasting one hour following a traumatic injury during which there is highest likelihood of preventing death by providing prompt medical care. The scheme provides treatment cover upto Rs. 1.5 lakh per victim, subject to a maximum cap of 7 days from the date of accident on any category of road. Further, the treatment cover will be available to all those victims who are involved in road accidents caused by use of motor vehicles.
As on 31.07.2026 since the launch of the scheme for nation-wide implementation on 13.02.2026, a total of 22,481 victims have benefitted from the scheme across 34 States/UTs. The State/UT-wise details are attached as Annexure-I.
Against the total amount of the claims raised by the hospitals, State Health Agencies (SHA) have approved claims amounting to Rs.12.59 Crores. Out of which, Rs.10.56 Crores have been paid to the hospitals.
As per the Scheme guidelines notified vide S.O. 2489 (E) dated 04th June, 2025, designated hospitals under the Scheme, including empanelled hospitals under the Ayushman Bharat Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (AB PM-JAY) that comply with the guidelines issued by the National Health Authority (NHA) for this scheme shall be deemed designated hospitals for the purposes of the Scheme.
Further, States & UTs are advised to designate and onboard additional hospitals based on detailed guidelines dated 20.5.2025 issued by NHA.
Denial of admission or treatment under the Scheme amounts to non-compliance with the applicable Scheme provisions. States/UTs are empowered to take action under laws regulating clinical establishments, including the Clinical Establishments (Registration and Regulation) Act, 2010, or the corresponding State-specific laws. Further, the hospital empanelment guidelines provide for disciplinary proceedings, suspension and de-empanelment in cases of non-compliance.
To ensure that victim reaches the hospital within Golden Hour, convergence with the 112 Emergency Response Support System (ERSS) has been established, so that a victim or Good Samaritan may dial 112 and obtain details of the nearest designated hospital and also seek ambulance support.
*Note: Cases which are marked as life threatening by hospital administration are eligible for treatment under the scheme till the time the case is rejected by police on e-DAR or 48 hours whichever is earlier
This information was given by Union Minister of Road Transport & Highways, Shri Nitin Gadkari in a written reply in the Rajya Sabha today.
