Narnaul, August 14 (HS). Deputy Commissioner Monika Gupta on Wednesday handed over a cheque of Rs 2 lakh to Aditi of Dhani Kirarod under the Pradhan Mantri Suraksha Bima Yojana. Under this scheme, financial assistance of Rs 2 lakh is given to the family of a person who pays a premium of Rs 20 per year in any bank, on his death.
On this occasion, LDM Vijay Singh said that the government provides an insurance cover of Rs 2 lakh to a person who pays a premium of Rs 20 per year in case of death or complete disability in an accident. Apart from this, an insurance cover of Rs 1 lakh is provided in case of partial disability. The purpose of this scheme is to provide insurance cover to the poor and weaker sections so that they can make their lives safe and get financial assistance in case of an accident.
He told that Aditi's mother Sumitra of Dhani Kirarod had died recently. When the family reached the regional rural bank in Naseebpur to close the account, the bank manager told them that the premium amount of their insurance is being deducted, so they are eligible for the benefit under this insurance scheme. He immediately got the papers of the beneficiary prepared on the spot and today presented a cheque of two lakh rupees to Deputy Commissioner Monica Gupta.
