Prime Minister Mr. Narendra Modi launched three new social security schemes under his government’s Jan Suraksha initiative during his visit to Kolkata on May 9. As most of us know by now, these schemes are – Pradhan Mantri Jeevan Jyoti Bima Yojana (PMJJBY), Pradhan Mantri Suraksha Bima Yojana (PMSBY) and Atal Pension Yojana (APY).
People are keen to know more about these schemes and how to get themselves enrolled/subscribed to get insurance coverage in case of death or disability. Though banks are also aggressive & keen in attracting their customers to subscribe to these schemes, many people are still clueless how to get themselves enrolled and whether banks are providing online subscription facility or not.
Customers of banks, like Kotak Mahindra Bank, HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank, IndusInd Bank and SBI, can subscribe to PMJJBY and PMSBY in any of the following manners:
* Visiting a bank branch nearest to your place, filling the Consent-cum Declaration Form & depositing in the branch itself
* Through Netbanking by filling the online form
* Sending an SMS to the number provided by your bank
I have tried to compile a list of participating banks which have tied up with different insurance companies for providing life insurance and accidental death & disability insurance to their interested customers. Here you have the list of banks along with their partner insurance companies and whether they are providing the online and/or SMS facility to their customers or not:
LIC affiliated Banks for PMJJBY – PNB, Kotak Mahindra Bank, IndusInd Bank, Bhartiya Mahila Bank, Canara Bank, Federal Bank, South India Bank, Bank of Maharshtra, Corporation Bank, United Bank of India, Allahabad Bank, IDBI Bank, Uco Bank, Dena Bank, Punjab & Sind Bank, Syndicate Bank and Kerala Gramin Bank.
Banks affiliated with SBI Life for PMJJBY – State Bank of India (SBI) and Vijaya Bank.
Banks affiliated with New India Assurance for PMSBY – Bhartiya Mahila Bank, Federal Bank, South India Bank, Corporation Bank, Union Bank of India, Bank of India, Central Bank and Punjab & Sind Bank.
Banks affiliated with United India Insurance for PMSBY – HDFC Bank, Canara Bank, Vijaya Bank, Bank of Maharashtra, Dena Bank, Syndicate Bank and Kerala Gramin Bank.
Banks affiliated with National Insurance for PMSBY – State Bank of India (SBI), Bank of Baroda, United Bank of India and State Bank of Travancore (SBT).
Banks affiliated with Oriental Insurance for PMSBY – PNB.
Banks affiliated with ICICI Lombard for PMSBY – Kotak Mahindra Bank and ICICI Bank.
I will try to update this list as & when I get info about more banks joining these schemes. You may visit the respective websites of these banks to download their application forms for getting yourself enrolled. In case you need to get yourself updated with the terms of any of these schemes, here you have the links to our previous posts in which we covered these schemes:
