PMJJBY-PMSBY Premium Rate Increase: The government has increased the premium rate of the Pradhan Mantri Jeevan Jyoti Bima Yojana (PMJJBY) and Pradhan Mantri Suraksha Bima Yojana (PMSBY) due to growing demand from insurance firms and increasing claims throughout the years. PMJJBY has accumulated 7 crore enrollments, while PMSBY has accumulated 22 crores.
PMJJBY's annual premium rate has been raised to Rs 1.25 per day. This premium, which was previously Rs 330 per year, will now be Rs 436 per year. Aside from that, the PMSBY annual premium has been raised from Rs 12 to Rs 20. From June 1, 2022, these new premium rates will be in effect.
The premium for PMJJBY and PMSBY has been updated after a long wait. For the past seven years, there has been no increase. Following the increase in claim losses, there was a demand for a revision in the companies' premiums. It is expected that if interest rates rise, private enterprises' participation will rise as well.
