The Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission (ABDM) health ID is mandatory for availing healthcare services in India.

  1. True
  2. False

Answer: False

ABHA (Ayushman Bharat Health Account) number is voluntary and consent-based. Citizens can choose to create ABHA ID for convenient access to digital health records, but cannot be denied healthcare services for not having it. Aligns with Supreme Court privacy principles and DPDP Act requirements for voluntary consent in data processing.
