The DC Palamu Srinivasan said all these three social security schemes would phase out the practice of doling out ex-gratia relief to the tune of Rs20,000 to victims of accidental deaths on road.

Asked if from June 1, 2015 these three social security schemes which are to be taken off and during this period if a poor who has a fresh insurance covered of any of these three schemes or under all the three and dies in road accident or fall a prey to any kind of accidental death then in that case ex gratia relief to the tune of Rs20,000 be given to him or not if the deceased is poor, bread earner or a BPl number holder etc, Srinivasan added. 

The victim is to be covered no matter what of these three schemes he/she has taken up'. 

Srinivasan said the insured should have to do one thing and that is to have just one bank account for any one or all these three schemes namely Pradhan Mantri Surakchha Beema Yojna, Pradhan Mantri Jeevan Jyoti Beema Yojna and Atal Pension Yojna.
