Scheme Description
The Pandit Deendayal Upadhyay State Employee Cashless Medical Scheme is a healthcare initiative launched by the Government of Uttar Pradesh to provide cashless medical treatment to state government employees, retired employees, and their dependents.

Under the scheme, government employees and their families are eligible for cashless treatment in empaneled hospitals across Uttar Pradesh.
