Government insurance schemes for life, accident, and health

Government insurance schemes offer very low-cost protection that ordinary insurance often prices out of reach. For a tiny annual premium, schemes like Pradhan Mantri Jeevan Jyoti Bima Yojana (life cover) and Pradhan Mantri Suraksha Bima Yojana (accident cover) give families a meaningful safety net, while health and crop-insurance schemes cover medical and farming risks.

The premiums are usually auto-debited from your bank account once a year, so the cover lapses if the balance is short on the renewal date — worth setting a reminder. Most of these schemes need only a savings account, Aadhaar, and a nominee. Explore the options below and use the checker to see which protection fits your family.
