Frequently Asked Questions

Does PMSBY cover natural death? ▾

No, PMSBY only covers accidental death and disability. For natural death coverage, PMJJBY (life insurance) is the companion scheme.

Partial disability means losing one eye's sight, or use of one hand, or one foot in an accident. This receives ₹1 lakh (vs ₹2 lakh for total disability).
