The Haryana Government has decided to pay the premium of the Pradhan Mantri Jeevan Jyoti Bima Yojana under which the BPL families are paid Rs 2 lakh after the death of the insured person.
Besides the poor, who have lost their family members prematurely during the second Covid wave and for some reason could not fill the form for the benefit of this scheme, will be given Rs 2 lakh by the state.
For this, the first instalment of the premium must be in the account of the holder. As soon as the instalment is deducted from the account, the premium would be deposited in it by the government, he said. The scheme was for people aged 18 to 50 years with an annual premium of Rs 330, he said.
