India's National Digital Health Mission (now Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission) provides each citizen with a:

Explanation

Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission is built around ABHA, the Ayushman Bharat Health Account. The ABHA Number is a 14-digit unique number for each citizen that connects the person to the national digital health ecosystem. The mission is not framed as an insurance or doctor-allocation scheme, but as digital health infrastructure. This ID enables digital health records, teleconsultation and interoperable health data exchange. The ABHA app lets users link, view and manage health records such as lab reports, prescriptions and vaccination certificates, and share them with registered practitioners.

Why the other options are wrong

• (B) Free health insurance is not the primary offering of the digital mission; Ayushman Bharat PM-JAY insurance is distinct from ABDM's ABHA-based digital health identity.
• (C) A free annual health checkup is not what ABDM provides each citizen; the mission centres on a 14-digit ABHA identity for digital health records and exchange.
• (D) ABDM does not allocate a personal doctor to each citizen; it provides a digital health account number that can connect records and interactions within the health ecosystem.

Concept

Digital public infrastructure in health differs from benefit-delivery schemes. RAS often asks such distinctions because names under Ayushman Bharat can sound similar while their policy instruments are different.
