Pradhan Mantri Suraksha Bima Yojana- The government has created numerous schemes to provide benefits to different parts of society. Insurance is not a new topic in India, but still, its reach is limited to a few people.

Though there are so many insurance companies operating in India, there is still a large number of people, especially in rural areas, who are not covered under any kind of insurance.

This section of society is mostly below the poverty line, and insurance service is unaffordable for them.

Hence, our government has introduced “Pradhan Mantri Suraksha Bima Yojana” after the successful performance of Jan Dhan Yojana, keeping in mind the poor masses.

Termination of Cover

The individual will not be entitled to any benefit, and the accident cover will get terminated in case of any of the following events-

1. In case the individual attains 70 years of age.

2. The account has been closed as there are insufficient funds in the account to keep the insurance active.

3. When a person is covered by more than one account. Insurance cover will be limited to only one account, and the premium on other accounts will be forfeited.

4. When the insurance cover is ceased due to any technical reasons like insufficiency of funds on the due date or any administrative issues, the same can be reinstated on receipt of the full annual premium (subject to conditions that may be laid down).

The risk cover will be suspended during this period, and reinstatement of risk cover will be at the sole discretion of the Insurance Company.

      Hello Vijay,

      Thank you for your comment.

      Your Bank will automatically debit your account prior to 1st June every year for the renewal of the policy.

      If however, you have not given any auto debit instructions you will have to talk with bank, who will be the best person to guide you for the renewal of Pradhan Mantri Suraksha Bima Yojana.
