It is the largest health insurance system in the world that provides health coverage £5 Lakh per family per year. It should have no waiting period or restriction of existing health conditions.
The capacity criteria for the recipient families were originally identified from the socio-economic caste census (SECC) of 2011 on the basis of 6 deprivation and 11 professional criteria across rural and urban areas.
The government official in Delhi said: “Delhi recipients are PM-Jay covering on the basis of their presence in the SECC 2011 database. Delhi has approximately 654,000 families and are mandatory under the program.”
“But it’s on the state government if they want to cover the whole population or not.” In principle, there is no limitation of family coverage as such. “

The ruling BJP promised to add another £5 Lakh for PMJay scheme. Initial £5 Lakhs will be given by the center, while the peak = the government of Delhi.
PMJay scheme also offers £5 Lakh Health Insurance for Seniors aged 70 and over, regardless of income. This benefits 60 million seniors who belong to 45 million families.
“All this health coverage in Delhi will be.” £5 lakh + £5 lakh and more £5 Lakh if there is an older person aged 70 years or more in the family, ”said government official Delhi.
