Haryana Government has appealed to the citizens to take advantage of various social security schemes — namely the Pradhan Mantri Jeevan Jyoti Bima Yojana and Pradhan Mantri Suraksha Bima Yojana — implemented by the Central Government.
“Application forms for the Pradhan Mantri Jeevan Jyoti Bima Yojana and Pradhan Mantri Suraksha Bima Yojana are readily accessible at banks and post offices across the region. By depositing the prescribed annual premium, individuals can secure insurance coverage of up to Rs two lakhs,” said an official spokesperson on Sunday.
Spokesperson said that the Central Government has launched two schemes aimed at extending the benefits of Jeevan Suraksha Bima Yojana to every bank customer. “These social security initiatives are designed to empower families by providing crucial financial support during difficult times. Eligible individuals between the ages of 18 and 50 can enroll in the Pradhan Mantri Jeevan Jyoti Bima Yojana, which offers life insurance protection of Rs two lakh upon the payment of an annual premium of Rs 436,” said the spokesperson.
Additionally, the spokesperson highlighted the Pradhan Mantri Suraksha Bima Yojana is an accident insurance scheme catering to citizens aged 18 to 70. By paying a remarkably low annual premium of Rs 20, participants can obtain accident insurance coverage of Rs two lakhs.
The premium for these insurance schemes is automatically deducted from the consumer's bank or post office account, and in the event of a claim, the amount is directly deposited into the beneficiary's bank account. To enroll in these schemes, individuals are encouraged to visit their nearest bank branch or post office, he added.
