Medical Check-Up Facility (UKBOCWWB)

What is the Medical Check-Up Facility of UKBOCWWB?

Medical Check-Up Facility is a health-welfare benefit run by the Uttarakhand Building and Other Construction Workers Welfare Board (UKBOCWWB), which sits under the Labour Department, Government of Uttarakhand. The facility gives registered construction workers periodic medical examinations and diagnostic tests free of cost, so that occupational and lifestyle illnesses are caught early in a workforce that rarely visits a hospital on its own.

According to the Board and the myScheme listing, the aim is to take health check-ups close to the worker: including door-to-door and camp-based screening: rather than expecting a daily-wage worker to lose a day's income travelling to a district hospital. The Board is financed by a cess collected from construction projects across Uttarakhand, and that fund pays for these welfare benefits.

In July 2026 the Uttarakhand government expanded this facility sharply. The Chief Minister launched the Chief Minister Workers' Health Check-up Scheme with two Mobile Medical Vans. Each van offers up to 44 diagnostic tests, including X-ray and ECG, free of charge, along with teleconsultation with specialist doctors and roughly three months of health monitoring after the camp. The vans were first deployed in Pauri Garhwal and Champawat districts, with phased expansion planned statewide.

Who is eligible for the Medical Check-Up Facility?

You can use the facility if:

• You are a construction worker registered with UKBOCWWB and your membership is active.
• You are a resident of Uttarakhand working in the building and construction sector.
• You have completed the Board's qualifying registration period and renewed your card as required.

You cannot use it / are not eligible if:

• You are not registered with the Board, or your registration has lapsed and not been renewed.
• You are a construction worker in another state whose registration is with a different state welfare board.
• You work in a sector not covered by the building and other construction workers definition.

Registration itself is open to construction workers aged 18 to 60 who have worked as building or construction workers in Uttarakhand. Registration is the gateway, the medical check-up, like the Board's other benefits, is only available to those on the Board's rolls.

How much does the medical check-up cost?

Medical Check-Up Facility is provided free of cost. There is no cash paid to the worker; instead the Board bears the full cost of the examination and diagnostic tests. Under the mobile-van scheme, the 44 diagnostic tests, X-ray, ECG and teleconsultation are all delivered without any charge to the registered worker or family member being screened.

Because the benefit is a service rather than a cash transfer, there is no bank-account seeding or Direct Benefit Transfer involved for the check-up itself. Workers should still keep their bank details updated with the Board, because most of UKBOCWWB's other benefits, maternity, education, pension, disability, are paid by transfer.

What documents are required?

Carry the original registration card to the camp; screening staff verify membership before the tests are done.

How to apply for the Medical Check-Up Facility

The facility is reached by first being a registered worker, then attending the camp organised for your area. The steps are:

1. Register with UKBOCWWB if you have not already. Go to ukbocw.uk.gov.in and complete the construction-worker registration, or apply at your District Labour Office. Submit Aadhaar, residence proof and details of your construction work.
2. Keep your membership active by paying the annual contribution and renewing the card when due, so you remain eligible for all Board benefits including the check-up.
3. Watch for the health-camp or mobile-van schedule in your district, announced by the District Labour Office and the Board. In Pauri Garhwal and Champawat the mobile vans are already running; other districts are being added in phases.
4. Attend the camp with your registration card and Aadhaar. Undergo the free examination and diagnostic tests, and collect your report.
5. Follow up on teleconsultation if the van staff refer you to a specialist, and use the roughly three-month monitoring window for any follow-up the doctors advise.

What other benefits were launched alongside?

The Medical Check-Up Facility is one part of a wider welfare push the Uttarakhand government announced for registered construction workers in July 2026. According to the state's announcement and news reports, Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami launched the health check-up scheme together with financial assistance to build or purchase a house and a monthly pension for elderly construction workers, so that the same registered worker who gets a free check-up can also access housing support and old-age income security. A nutrition scheme, an education-material scheme for workers' children and sanitation-material distribution for workers' families were flagged as part of the same package. The common thread is registration: every one of these benefits flows only to workers on the Board's rolls, which is why keeping the labour card active matters far beyond the check-up itself.

This is a useful point for a worker to grasp. The mobile-van check-up is the most visible new benefit, but a registered worker is typically eligible for a bundle of maternity, education, disability, pension and death benefits that the Board funds from the construction cess. Attending a health camp is often the moment a worker first learns about these other entitlements, so it is worth asking the camp or District Labour Office staff for the full current list.

How do I check the status of my registration?

Your registration and card status can be checked on the ukbocw.uk.gov.in portal using your registration number or mobile number, or at the District Labour Office. If your card shows as inactive or expired, renew it before the next camp. An inactive card is the most common reason a worker is turned away at the screening desk.

Common reasons workers are refused, and how to fix them

• Registration lapsed — renew the labour card and clear any pending annual contribution.
• Name or Aadhaar mismatch between the card and the Aadhaar shown at the camp; get the Board record corrected at the District Labour Office.
• Not yet a member, a worker who has never registered cannot use the facility; complete registration first.
• Attending the wrong district camp: confirm the schedule for your own registered district.

Grievance and contact route

For camp schedules, registration problems or complaints, contact your District Labour Office or the UKBOCWWB at the GMVN Building, Rajpur Road, Dehradun. Always register and use these free official channels: no agent or middleman can charge you a fee to add your name for a Board medical check-up, and the check-up itself is never chargeable to a registered worker.
