Sambal 2.0 MP 2026: Sambal Card Apply Online, e-KYC, Eligibility and Status Check

Sambal 2.0 is the Madhya Pradesh government’s Mukhyamantri Jan Kalyan (Sambal) Yojana for unorganised workers. Eligible workers get social security support such as ₹5,000 for funeral help, ₹2 lakh for general death, ₹4 lakh for accidental death, ₹1 lakh for partial disability and ₹2 lakh for permanent disability. Registration is on sambal.mp.gov.in, using a Samagra ID.

One point confuses many families: holding a Sambal Card does not trigger payments on its own. Money comes only when a covered event happens and a claim is approved. This guide covers how to register, complete e-KYC and track an application, and how to check if a payment is stuck.

What Is Sambal 2.0 (Mukhyamantri Jan Kalyan Sambal Yojana)?

Sambal is a public welfare scheme run under the Labour Department of the Government of Madhya Pradesh, and the Chief Minister has said it has been running since 2018. Gig and platform workers were given unorganised worker status and included from 1 March 2024. The scheme covers sectors such as stone breakers, brick makers, domestic workers, cooks and tendu leaf collectors.

The state says beneficiaries are also covered under Ayushman Bharat Niramayam Yojana, which provides ₹5 lakh in annual free medical treatment.

Who Is Eligible for Sambal Card in Madhya Pradesh?

The consistent core is simple: a resident of Madhya Pradesh, working in the unorganised sector, aged 18 to 60. A Samagra ID is part of the registration flow, and older scheme material shows workers should not already be covered under formal systems such as Provident Fund, ESI or gratuity.

Other conditions differ between sources. One guide lists family income below ₹2.5 lakh and no more than one hectare of irrigated land for the applicant and spouse, while another says the applicant should hold a BPL card or a labour card. Old conditions also point to checks linked with government service, income tax status and higher land holding. Check the current rules on the portal before you apply.

How to Apply for Sambal Card Online on sambal.mp.gov.in

Eligible workers can register through the official Sambal portal, Jan Seva Kendras, Gram Panchayat offices or urban ward offices. Online, the flow is:

1. Open sambal.mp.gov.in and choose the registration option under services.
2. Enter your Samagra ID and family ID, then search so your details load.
3. Choose your applicant type, such as unorganised worker, farmer or self-employed.
4. Fill in education, occupation and mobile number, tick the consent box and save.
5. Note the application number the portal gives you.

Use only the official site and the offices above. Be wary of anyone who asks for money to “approve” a card.

How to Do Sambal Card e-KYC Online

The state portal says Aadhaar-based e-KYC is needed when a new Samagra ID is created. For a death claim, the rule is firmer. The family member who applies for ex gratia must have Aadhaar e-KYC on the Samagra portal and a bank account with DBT enabled.

The usual steps on the portal are to enter the Samagra ID and family ID, choose Aadhaar e-KYC, enter the Aadhaar number and then the OTP sent to the Aadhaar-linked mobile. If the number is not linked, or the page keeps failing, an MPOnline or LSK kiosk can help.

How to Check Sambal Card Status and Download the Card

Use the status option on the homepage, choose the Sambal application status, then enter your Samagra ID and application number. To download, open the beneficiary details option, enter the 9-digit Samagra member ID, and use the print card button once the card is ready.

These steps follow the portal flow described in published guides. I could not test them on the live site, and menu names change, so go by what the portal shows.

Sambal Yojana Benefits: How Much Money Do Families Get?

These figures come from scheme summaries and match a Neemuch labour inspector’s description of natural death, accidental death and permanent disability amounts. Eligible women workers can also receive maternity assistance of up to ₹16,000, and the scheme includes education support. Check amounts for those on the portal.

Sambal Card Payment Not Received: What to Check

Start with the claim, not the card. Ex gratia is paid after a covered event and an approval, and it goes by DBT. The state moves it in batches. In July 2026, the Chief Minister said ₹365 crore went to 16,754 worker families under Sambal 2.0 in one click. The Labour Minister said in December 2025 that processes had been streamlined to clear payments within 60 days.

If yours is pending, check these:

• Death registered? The worker’s death must be registered on the Samagra portal before a death claim is filed.
• Applicant’s e-KYC and DBT: The family member named as applicant needs Aadhaar e-KYC and a DBT-enabled bank account.
• Age and cause: The applicant is not eligible if the worker was over 60 at death, or if death was by suicide or from intoxicants or poison.
• Bank and Aadhaar details: Mismatched details are a common cause of delay.

If these are fine, ask the Gram Panchayat, urban body or labour office for the claim status, and keep your application receipt and any complaint number.

Why Is a Sambal Card Application Rejected and How to Avoid It?

Reasons vary by case. Common ones include a wrong worker category, errors in the Samagra record (name, date of birth or Aadhaar), age outside 18 to 60, existing coverage under another worker scheme, incomplete documents, or an unlinked bank account or DBT. Applicants should also check old conditions on government service, income tax status and land holding.

To avoid it, correct your Samagra data first, complete e-KYC, upload clear documents, link your bank account, and check the status regularly after you apply.

Sambal Card Helpline and Official Website

The official site is sambal.mp.gov.in. The portal’s registration is also available through Jan Seva Kendras, Gram Panchayats and ward offices. One guide lists helpline numbers 0755-2573036 and 0755-2573046, but I could not verify them on an official page, so confirm them on the portal before you call.
