Family id Haryana: How to Apply, download and receive benefits?

The Family ID, also known as ‘Parivar Pehchan Patra’ (PPP), is an initiative launched under the Parivar Pehchan Patra Yojna by the Government of Haryana. Its objective is to create an authentic and reliable digital database of all families residing in the state.

The Family ID allows the government to record vital events such as births, deaths, and marriages, enabling automatic updates to family data as and when these events occur.

This Parivar Pehchan Patra card also plays a key role in the effective implementation of social welfare schemes. It ensures that the benefits of such schemes, like scholarships, subsidies, pensions, and more, are delivered directly to the eligible beneficiaries.

Editing Parivar Pehchan Patra’s details

Your family ID information can be edited through two modes –

1. Self-Update Mode – The citizen can update their family ID using the “Update Family Details” tab available on the Mera Parivar Portal. The citizens will get an OTP on their registered mobile number (which is the mobile number of the Head of Family), and after successful verification/authentication of the OTP, the users can proceed with the data update.

Please note: Citizens are only allowed to update the PPP ID details through the self-update module. However, the creation of a new PPP ID through this mode is currently not available.

2. Assisted Mode – The citizens can reach and approach the nearest CSC, SARAL Kendra or PPP Operator to update their family details. The operator will ask you for the FAMILY ID / OTP and edit the requisite information on the citizen’s behalf.

Citizens can edit their Parivar Pehchan Patra (PPP) information multiple times, subject to the following conditions:

The PPP server continuously verifies the data provided by citizens through various electronic sources and, where necessary, through field verification. Once a particular field is verified, it is marked as “Verified” and cannot be edited.
A one-time correction is allowed after the citizen signs and uploads the PPP document on the portal.

Benefits of the Parivar Pehchan Patra (PPP)

PPP includes the following benefits –

The data available in the Family ID database will be utilized to determine the eligibility of a citizen for the best-suited scheme for them.
The beneficiary can digitally verify their identity while applying for a scheme, unlike uploading too many documents in the conventional method. In this way, the automatic self-selection of beneficiaries will be done for receiving benefits.
If the database of families is created and is up to date, families need not separately apply to receive benefits under each scheme.
Once the data in the PPP database is authenticated and verified, a beneficiary will not be required to submit any more documents.
