ABSTRACT

Pradhan Mantri Jeevan Jyoti Bima Yojana (PMJJBY ) and Pradhan Mantri Suraksha Bima Yojana (PMSBY)

are two Government of India backed flagship insurance schemes, which were launched in May 2015 after the

historic success of saving account opening (Approx. 25.98 Crore by 14th

December 2016) under PMJDY

(Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Scheme).The objective of the present study is to analyse the progress made under

both schemes as on 14.12.2016, the performances of the participating instituitions , similarities and

dissimilarities between both schemes and cost advantage of insurance premium to be paid under both

schemes in comparison to other private players . The present study also investigates the performance in terms

of coverage under PMJJBY and PMSBY schemes for the saving accounts opened under PMJDY. Three field

based case studies ,one under PMJJBY and two under PMSBY, have also been discussed which shows the ease

of process of claim settlement in favour of nominee ,assuring the pious concept of social security behind these

schemes. This is a noble scheme that aims to bring the uninsured into the mainstream insurance scheme much in

line with the prestigious PM Jan Dhan Yojana and is actually a continuation of the latter. The Scheme has so

far succeeded for at least those living below poverty line in far flung areas with a sigh of relief in case of event

of accidents in their life. PMJJBY and PMSBY have benefitted to the common mass in terms of settlement of

claims under Death and Accidental cases.

(PMJJBY) and Pradhan Mantri Suraksha Bima Yojana (PMSBY) are two Government of India backed flagship

(Approx.25.98 Crore by 14th December 2016) under PMJDY (Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Scheme).

Foreign Banks.

To assess the Progress under credit balance in Accounts opened under PMJDY Accounts.

To establish Performance of Insurance companies in respect to Claims Reported, Paid, Rejected and

Outstanding Claims.

To make Comparative analysis of Cost of Insurance coverage for Rs 2, 00,000/ (Rupees Two lakh only)

by different private players versus PMJJBY & PMSBY.

III. DATA COLLECTION

Secondary Data has been used for the study purpose mainly available on Government Portals for the period

2015-2016.

IV. LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY:

This study does not cover behavioural aspects of people opting for Insurance schemes like PMJJBY &

PMSBY.

State wise performance of the schemes is not available.

Relevancy of the data will decrease over the period of time as Government may focus its energy on some

other Government Schemes.

2015. As on 14-12-2016 a total of 25.98 crores new accounts under PMJDY has been opened having a credit

balance of Rs.74, 123.12 crores. Zero balance account constitute 23.22 % of total number of Accounts. Focus

(Source: http://pmjdy.gov.in/account)

Interpretation: - It is clear from the table that there is an overall increase of 28.68% on year

to year basis for opening of PMJDY Accounts. Highest growth has been achieved by PSBs

(+30.60% growth) in comparison to their Peer Banks viz. RRBs (+22.50% increase) and

Private Banks (+17.57% growth). It can be inferred that PSBs are driving the pace of

Financial Inclusion. Table – 3: Progress under Number of Accounts with Zero Balance

(Source: http://pmjdy.gov.in/account)

Interpretation: - It can be inferred from Table 3 that there is a sharp increase in accounts in

zero balance with PSBs (+133.33% growth) from the period 31.12.2015 to 14.12.2016. RRBs

have also shown (+119.19% growth) increase in accounts with zero balance in comparison to

private players (+23.33% growth). Larger is the number of accounts with zero balance

coverage of Financial Inclusion smaller is the scope of Insurance claim under zero balance

accounts.

(Source: http://pmjdy.gov.in/account)

Interpretation: - There has been a remarkable increase in credit balance in PMJDY Accounts on y-o-y basis

with an overall increase of 146.19%. Maximum Increase being witnessed by Accounts opened by RRBs with a

y-o-y increase of 157.74%. Here a critical observation is that private banks showed a growth of 17.57% (as per

Table 2) in terms of number of account opening but growth under credit balance in these PMJDY accounts is

+136.62%. Similarly PSBs have shown a growth of 30.60% (as per Table 2) and achieved a growth under credit

balance in accounts is +144.21%.

Let’s have a macroscopic view of Bank wise performance under Jandhan Scheme as on 14.12.2016 which is

given in the Table No - 5

Interpretation: - In case of PMJJBY overall Claim settled ratio is 87.96% whereas claim rejection ratio is

approximately 2% only and outstanding claim ratio is around 10%. This reflects a good work being done by

Insurance companies having PMJJBY Enrolments. While in case of PMSBY overall claim settlement ratio is

63.91% only whereas Claim rejection ratio is 16.02% and outstanding claim ratio is 20.07%. The Insurance

Companies needs to fasten the claim settlement process in PMSBY because 9.78 crore enrolments are there in

this scheme and work in common interest of public.

9. Case Studies based on Field Observation: Case: 1: This is a case of Public Sector Bank in Rural Area of Meerut Region. An account holder aged 48 years

took PMJJBY on 01.10.2015. He got an electric shock from electric poll and died while taking treatment in

Hospital on 05.02.2016. His nominee was his wife. She filed for a claim on 25.02.2016 under PMJJBY and got

a Claim of Rs.Two Lacs from Bank within a month of filing claim.

Case 2: This is a case of a Lady staff named Ms Manisha Rathore aged 30 years working as Temporary Part

Time Sweeper in Rural branch of Surat. She took PMJJBY on 15.07.2015. She met with an accident on road

and was hit on her head leading to death. Her mother who was the nominee of the account holder got a claim of

Rs.Two Lacs only after she filed her claim on 31.07.2015. This money is being utilised in meeting needs of

children of Late Manisha Rathore.

Case 3: This is a case of Private Sector Bank of Meerut city wherein an account holder who got insured under

PMSBY met with a severe accident and his left leg was damaged badly and had to be removed because of

infection. Since he was insured under PMSBY he was able to claim Rs. One Lac from Insurance Company

through Banks. Now he is running a small kirana shop in his native village after paying all expenses incurred

during the treatment.

10. Conclusion and Recommendations:

The launch of PMJDY in 2014 that made a history regarding opening of the no frill accounts is severely

criticised by the expert due the presence of Zero balance as well as increasing Dormancy status of the accounts

in absence of operation but it had definitely paved a way for the launch of PMJJBY and PMSBY. Availability of

a life Insurance coverage of Rs 2,00,000/(two lakh only ) with a small premium amount of Rs 12 and Rs 330

under these scheme is gaining popularity day by day due to cost advantage, easy access to scheme, facility of

auto debit towards premium payment as well ease of Claim Settlement. Following Suggestions are being made

for better Implementation of the Insurance Schemes –

More Number of Branches to be opened in Rural and Semi-urban areas by Private Banks and RRBs.

Financial Literacy Camps to promote these Schemes should be organised in Rural and Semi-urban

areas.

Public Awareness regarding benefits of both these schemes.

There is a need for increase in the ratio of claim settlement against the claim reported.

Adoption of Villages or areas which are unbanked / not approachable by PSBs/ Private Banks/RRBs.
