(a) to (e): State/UT-wise details of the total number of CGHS beneficiaries in the country, including Rajasthan are at Annexure. There is no separate database pertaining to the districts of Sikar and Alwar. There has been a time lag on account of established procedures for processing the claims. However, the procedures are streamlined now.
