How do I download my ESIC card?
Your ESIC card, called the e-Pehchan card, is your proof of cover under the ESI scheme. You can download it by logging in to the ESIC portal for insured persons, or through the UMANG app, and print it or keep it on your phone. Your employer can also download and print it for you.
In short
- The ESIC card is called the e-Pehchan card.
- Download it from the ESIC portal or the UMANG app.
- Your employer can print it for you.
- Your family’s details on the card let them use ESI treatment too.
What is the e-Pehchan card?
The identity card for people covered by ESI. It carries your insurance number and the family members registered with you. You show it at ESI hospitals and dispensaries to get treatment.

Keep a printed copy, and save the PDF on your phone, so you have it in an emergency.
Why is my family not on the card?
Because their details haven’t been registered. Family members are added with their details and photographs. Ask HR to update your family details, then download the card again. Until they are registered, they may not be able to get ESI treatment.
What if the card isn’t ready yet?
Check with HR that your registration is complete. The card can be downloaded once your registration and details are approved. If it is urgent, the nearest ESIC branch office can help.
