STATEMENT REFERRED TO IN REPLY TO PART (a) to (f) OF LOK SABHA STARRED QUESTION NO. *160 FOR 25th NOVEMBER, 2016 REGARDING “SOCIAL SECURITY SCHEMES” TABLED BY SHRI MOHITE PATIL VIJAYSINH SHANKARRAO AND SHRI DHANANJAY MAHADIK, M.P.
______________________________________________________________________

(a): Yes, Madam.

(b) to (f): PMJJBY offers a renewable one year life cover of Rs 2 lakh to subscribing bank account holders in the age group of 18-50 years, covering death due to any reason, for a premium of Rs 330 per annum per subscriber. The scheme is offered / administered through Life Insurance Corportaion of India and other private life insurance companies listed at Annexure-2 in tie-up with scheduled commercial banks / Regional Rural Banks / Cooperative Banks concerned.

PMSBY, on the other hand offers a renewable one year personal accidental death-cum-disability cover to subscribing bank account holders in the age group of 18-70 years for a premium of Rs 12 per annum per subscriber. The scheme is offered/administered through Public Sector General Insurance Companies (PSGICs) and other private general insurance companies listed at Annexure-2 in tie-up with scheduled commercial banks / Regional Rural Banks / Cooperative Banks concerned. In this scheme Rs. 2 Lakh is payable on death or permanent total disability and Rs. 1 Lakh on permanent partial disability.
Atal Pension Yojana: Under the APY, the subscribers are to receive a fixed minimum pension of Rs. 1000 per month, Rs. 2000 per months, Rs. 3000 per month, Rs. 4000 per month, Rs. 5000 per month, at the age of 60 years, depending on their contributions, which would be based on the age of joining the APY. Therefore, the benefit of minimum pension would be guaranteed by the Government. APY is open to all account holders in the age group of 18 to 40 years. The central Government would also co-contribute 50% of the total contribution or Rs. 1000 per annum, whichever is lower, to each eligible subscriber, for a period of 5 years, i.e., from financial Year 2015-16 to 2019-20, who have joined the APY before 31st March, 2016 and who are not members of any statutory social security scheme and who are not income tax payers. In case of premature death of Subscriber (death before 60 years of age), spouse of the subscriber has been given an option to continue contributing to APY account of the subscriber, for the remaining vesting period, till the original subscriber would have attained the age 60 years. In case of death of both subscriber and spouse, then the entire pension corpus would be returned to the nominee. If the accumulated corpus based on contributions earns a lower than estimated return on investment and is inadequate to provide the minimum guaranteed pension, the Central Government would fund such inadequacy. Alternatively, if the actual returns during the accumulation phase are higher than the assumed returns for minimum guaranteed pension, such excess will be passed on to the subscriber.

The cumulative gross enrolment under PMJJBY, PMSBY and APY schemes as reported by banks as on 31.10.2016 is 13.18 crore. The State-wise gross enrolment data is given in Annexure-1. The total number of claims reported up to 31.10.2016 under PMSBY and PMJJBY are 9,262 and 46,490 respectively and out of which 6,387 and 42,229 number of claims have been disbursed under PMSBY and PMJJBY respectively. The benefits of minimum guaranteed pension under Atal Pension Yojna (APY) will commence once the subscribers attain the age of 60 years.

The schemes have broadly provided affordable social protection to large number of citizens, especially to the poor and the under privileged. For the period up to 31.05.2016, the incurred claim ratio for PMJJBY compares favorably with the industry average.

The public response to these schemes has been good. The details of enrolment is as under:

PMSBY as on 31.05.2016 PMJJBY as on 31.05.2016
Total No. of persons enrolled 9.43 crore 2.96 crore


The details of insurance companies which are implementing PMSBY and PMJJBY schemes are given in Annexure-2.
