Just confirmed my pregnancy and someone told me i should register it for the govt benefits and checkups. I stay in Chennai and would prefer doing it online if possible. Has anyone here done the registration, whats the process?
I was confused about this too! I ended up just visiting the PHC and they registered me there and added it online from their end. Did anyone manage it fully online? I couldnt figure out a website easily.
A few mamas here have asked this. The registration mostly happens through the government PHC or the anganwadi worker in your area, and they handle the online entry. Ask at the local health centre, they guide you step by step. Keep Aadhaar handy.
Easiest is to register at your nearest govt PHC or hospital, they enter it in the system and give you the card. Some areas have online options through the health portal, but honestly going once to the PHC is the surest way. Carry your ID and any reports.
Government registration is free and gets you free checkups and the maternity benefits, so worth doing early. Go to the nearest PHC, the staff register you in their system. Some can do it online but the PHC visit confirms everything.
In Tamil Nadu the easiest is through the PHC or the village health nurse, they take care of the registration and card. My sister did it this way in Madurai. Just take your Aadhaar and address proof along na.
