Registration is done in these two government-backed insurance schemes, so keep Rs 342 in your bank account in May

The Narendra Modi government had launched two major insurance schemes in 2015 keeping in mind the economic security of the families of the middle class and low-income people of the country. These two insurance schemes are named - Pradhan Mantri Jeevan Jyoti Bima Yojana (PMJJBY) and Pradhan Mantri Suraksha Bima Yojana (PMSBY). Under Pradhan Mantri Jeevan Jyoti Bima Yojana (Pradhan Mantri Jeevan Jyoti Bima Yojana), the nominee gets an insurance amount of two lakh rupees in case of unfortunate death due to any of the policyholder. On the other hand, under the Pradhan Mantri Suraksha Bima Yojana (Pradhan Mantri Suraksha Bima Yojana), the nominee gets an amount of Rs 2 lakh if ​​the policyholder dies in an accident.

The annual premium of PMJJBY is Rs 330 and the annual premium of PMSBY is Rs 12. In this way, on taking cover of both these insurance schemes, you need to deposit Rs 342 every year. These premiums are deducted from your account every year from May 1 to May 31 under the auto-debit facility. The reason for this is that the premium cycle of both these schemes is from June 1 to May 31 of the next year. In this way, if you have taken both these insurance schemes, then your next year's premium will be deducted from your bank account by May 31 this year. In such a situation, you will need to maintain at least this amount in your account at the end of May, otherwise, your insurance coverage may be exhausted.
