Any resident of Madhya Pradesh who works in the unorganized sector — including construction workers, agricultural labourers, street vendors, domestic workers, and rickshaw pullers — and whose annual family income is below ₹2.5 lakh is eligible. The applicant must be aged between 18 and 60 years, must not be an income tax payer, and must not already be covered under EPF or ESIC.

No. Government employees, formal sector workers covered under EPF or ESIC, and income tax payers are not eligible for the Sambal Card. The scheme is exclusively for workers in the unorganized and informal sector who lack any formal social security coverage.

The annual family income must be below ₹2.5 lakh to qualify for the Sambal Card. The applicant should also not own more than one hectare of irrigated agricultural land. These criteria ensure the scheme reaches the most economically vulnerable workers in Madhya Pradesh.

Yes. A valid and eKYC-linked Samagra ID is mandatory for registering under Sambal 2.0. Without Samagra eKYC, your application will be rejected at the first stage. Complete your eKYC through the Samagra portal or nearest CSC centre before applying.

You must be between 18 and 60 years of age to apply for the Sambal Card 2.0. Applicants below 18 or above 60 are not eligible for new registration. Existing cardholders who registered before turning 60 continue to receive benefits even after crossing the age limit.

Yes. You can reapply after correcting the issue that caused the rejection. Common rejection reasons include incorrect Samagra ID, incomplete documents, income exceeding the threshold, or Aadhaar not linked to mobile. Fix the specific issue first, then submit a fresh application through the Sambal portal or your nearest CSC centre.
