The MoRTH in India plans to roll out cashless medical treatment for all road accident victims nationwide within the next three to four months, according to road secretary Anurag Jain.

"Free and cashless medical treatment to accident-injured victims is part of the amended Motor Vehicle Act 2019 (MVA2019). Some states have implemented it but now the Ministry of Roads in league with the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare will be fully implementing it across the nation," Road Transport and Highways Secretary Anurag Jain said.
