    What is Pradhan Mantri Suraksha Bima Yojana (PMSBY)?

    According to reports, around 2.5% of India’s total GDP is allocated to health. This inevitably makes it challenging for people belonging to the economically weaker section to access proper treatment.

    PMSBY is a social security scheme announced in India’s 2015 budget. Considering that a significant portion of the Indian population does not own proper insurance, this scheme provides monetary assistance to the policyholder’s family members.

    Wondering how much you can obtain under this scheme?

    Well, with a nominal premium amount of Rs. 20 per annum, you can get substantial coverage up to Rs. 2 lakhs for accidental demise and permanent disability. Check out the features and advantages it includes to know how the scheme can be beneficial for you.

    What are the Features of PMSBY Scheme?

    The sole purpose of introducing the Pradhan Mantri Suraksha Bima Yojana, or PMSBY coverage, is to help out the lower-income section of the society in case of health emergencies. In case you are wondering whether to opt for this or not, go through the following benefits the scheme offers:

    Features Description
    Claim Amount and Nominee According to the policy features, an insured person’s family members can obtain the claim amount, and the nominee will receive all of its advantages.
    Policy Discontinuation Flexibility You can discontinue the policy if you decide to eliminate additional liabilities.
    Tax Benefits With such policies, you get to save taxes as well. Under Section 80C and Section 10(10D) of the Income Tax Act, tax exemptions are available on both the deduction and the amount insured of Rs.1 lakh.
    Affordable Coverage The policy offers substantial coverage without charging a huge amount as compared to other insurance policies.
    Auto-Debit Facility The auto-debit facility ensures that the amount gets submitted every month without you having to spend extra hours to get it done.
    Monetary Coverage for Disability The scheme provides monetary coverage up to Rs.2 lakhs in case of permanent disability, such as loss of both eyes, irrecoverable loss of limbs, or permanent damage. In case of partial disability, one can avail up to Rs.1 lakh as Pradhan Mantri Suraksha Bima Yojana risk coverage.

    What are the Benefits of PMSBY Scheme?

    An insurance program called the Pradhan Mantri Suraksha Bima Yojana (PMSBY) offers financial support in the event of an untimely death or incapacity. The following are the scheme's key benefits:

    Benefits Description
    Accidental Death Cover ₹2 lakhs cover the amount in case of accidental death.
    Permanent Disability Cover ₹2 lakh in case of permanent disability caused due to an accident.
    Partial Disability Cover Covers partial disability arising due to an accident with ₹1 lakh.
    Low Premium Its annual premium of ₹20 falls in the 'affordable' category for many.
    Easy Enrollment The enrollment facility through banks is, by and large, hassle-free.
    Wide Coverage Available for all Indian citizens aged 18 to 70 years with a bank account for wide coverage.

    These features make PMSBY one of the most accessible and cost-effective ways to achieve financial protection against accidents.

    What is not covered under the PMSBY scheme?

    Even though this scheme focuses on helping out the majority of people belonging to the economically-weaker section, it also has a specific set of restrictions related to the cause of death. 

    For instance, in case the insured person commits suicide, the beneficiary will not be eligible for a claim. However, beneficiaries of insured individuals falling victim to murder are eligible to claim financial benefits from this scheme.

    Death or disability caused due to natural calamities, such as floods, earthquakes, and more are also covered under this scheme.

    Eligibility Criteria For PMSBY Scheme

    As mentioned earlier, this scheme provides financial coverage if  the sole earning member of a family dies in an accidental death or becomes permanently disabled. To make use of these impeccable benefits the Government-backed scheme offers, you should know the PMSBY eligibility criteria and if you can meet them.

    Here it goes:

    • There are certain instructions regarding the PMSBY age limit. People falling under the age group of 18-70 years will be eligible for this particular scheme. 
    • Generally, all individual bank account holders (both joint and single account) can apply for this scheme. However, those who are having multiple bank accounts in multiple banks can only apply through one account. 
    • In case of joint account holders, both the account holders will be benefited from this scheme’s features. 
    • People residing outside India can also apply for this scheme; however, during the claim process, a nominee will receive the funds in Indian currency only.

    What is the Premium Amount of PMSBY Scheme?

    Every policyholder is supposed to pay Rs.20 per annum, where the amount gets auto-debited from the linked bank account. The Government has allotted this nominal amount for encouraging more people to opt for this scheme.

    Detailed documentation and form fill-up process for PMSBY

    Even though most government-backed schemes follow a lenient documentation procedure, you must complete basic paperwork to apply for benefits under this initiative. The following are some of the necessary documents - 

    • Please complete the PMSBY application form and provide all the necessary details, such as name, Aadhaar number, and contact details, including detailed information about the selected nominee. 
    • Even though you are already submitting your UID details with the application form, you need to provide a copy if your card details need to be linked to your bank account.

    Enrollment Process for Pradhan Mantri Suraksha Bima Yojana

    You can register for this policy using SMS and internet banking facilities. Here is how you can apply using the first one: 

    • Step 1: You can simply text the onboarding organisation’s toll-free number to activate the facility. 
    • Step 2: You will receive the activation SMS; reply to that text with ‘PMSBY Y’. 
    • Step 3: You might receive another message acknowledging the receipt, which is how the registration is completed. 

    Apart from the PMSBY enrolment process through SMS, you can also use the Internet banking facility to complete the same within a few seconds. All you have to do is:

    • Step 1: Log in to the net banking account of your chosen financial institution and click on the insurance option.
    • Step 2: Choose the account you want to use to pay for the premium of PMSBY.
    • Step 3: Check all the details before confirming and download the confirmation receipt afterwards. 

    Apart from this easy registration process, the claim settlement process is equally simple and subscriber-friendly.

    If such unfortunate incidents occur, a beneficiary can follow the below-mentioned procedure to raise a claim against the PMSBY scheme. 

    • Step 1: Start by reaching out to the insurer from where this policy has been purchased.

    • Step 3: Check the list of supportive documents you need to submit along with the form. In most cases, it is either the death certificate or disability certificate insurers seek. 
    • Step 4: After confirming the details, the insurance company will transfer the claim amount to the linked bank account and settle the claim.

    Reasons for PMSBY Scheme Termination

    The PMSBY scheme is subject to termination due to various reasons. The PMSBY scheme is automatically terminated due to the following reasons:

    • The policy's account will be closed following the beneficiary's 70th birthday. 
    • The account will also be closed if there are insufficient funds in the bank or post office account to cover the annual premium. 
    • The insurance coverage will be limited to one account, and the money may be forfeited if the beneficiary enrols in this scheme from multiple accounts and pays the yearly premium. 
    • The insurance coverage ends if the required premium amount is not paid by the deadline.

    How to Find a Hospital Under Pradhan Mantri Suraksha Bima Yojana?

    Empanelled hospitals have agreements with insurance providers to offer cashless treatment under PMSBY. To find a hospital under the Pradhan Mantri Suraksha Bima Yojana (PMSBY), follow these steps:

    • Step 1: Contact Your Insurance Provider: Contact the insurance company or the bank where you have the PMSBY policy. They can provide a list of empanelled hospitals.

    Hospitalisation Process of Pradhan Mantri Suraksha Bima Yojana

    Under the Pradhan Mantri Suraksha Bima Yojana (PMSBY), the hospitalisation process involves verifying that the hospital is empanelled with your insurance provider. You should inform the insurance desk about your PMSBY coverage during the hospitalisation. The hospital will then initiate the cashless treatment, verifying your policy details with the insurer. 

    Ensure all necessary documents, such as ID proof and policy details, are provided. For planned admissions, pre-authorisation may be required, while in emergencies, treatment can commence immediately, followed by post-facto documentation. After treatment, the hospital will coordinate directly with the insurer for settlement.
