The Yojana will be implemented in two phases:-
Phase-I from 15th August 2014:
· Universal
access to banking facilities for all households across the country through a
bank branch or a fixed point Business Correspondent (BC) called Bank Mitra
within a reasonable distance except areas with infrastructure &
connectivity constraints.
· To
cover all households with atleast one Basic Banking Account with RuPay Debit
card having inbuilt accident insurance cover of Rs.1 lakh. Further an overdraft
facility upto Rs.5000 will also be permitted to Adhaar enabled accounts after
satisfactory operation in the account for 6 months.
· Financial
literacy programme which aims to take financial literacy upto village level.
· The
Mission also envisages expansion of Direct Benefit Transfer under various
Government Schemes through bank accounts of the beneficiaries of.
· The
issuance of Kisan Credit Card (KCC) as RuPay Kisan Card is also proposed to be
covered under the plan.
Phase-II
:
· Providing
micro –insurance to the people.
· Unorganised
sector Pension schemes like Swavalamban through the Business Correspondents.
On the inaugural day, a record 1.5 crore bank accounts were
opened across the country, the largest such exercise on a single day possibly
anywhere in the world. It will cover 7.5 crore people by January 26, 2015.
Here is looking at Five important features of the PM Jan Dhan Yojna
1. Under the scheme, account holders will be provided zero-balance bank account
with RuPay debit card, in addition to accidental insurance cover of Rs 1 lakh.
2. Those who open accounts by January 26, 2015 over and above the Rs1 lakh
accidental insurance for the entire
family, they will be given life insurance cover of Rs 30,000. Accident
cover provided by HDFC Ergo insurance co. and life c
over by LIC.
3. Six months of opening of the bank account, holders can avail Rs 5,000 loan
from the bank. Overdraft /loan can be availed by only one person per household
, even if two or more accounts are opened by the members of a family.
4. With the introduction of new technology introduced by National Payments Corporation
of India (NPCI), a person can transfer funds, check balance through a normal
phone which was earlier limited only to smart phones so far.
5. Mobile banking for the poor would be available through National Unified USSD
Platform (NUUP) for which all banks and mobile companies have come together.
- The
Jan Dhan Yojana also seeks to provide incentives to business and banking
correspondents who serve as link for the last mile between savings account
holders and the bank by fixing a minimum monthly remuneration of Rs 5000.
- The
long term vision of the Jan Dhan Yojana is to lay the foundation
of a cashless economy and is complementary to the Digital India Scheme.
The
Government has decided that the following facilities available to those account
holders who have opened their accounts under Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana
(PMJDY) would also be extended to the existing account holders subject to submission
of an application by the account holder(s) to the concerned bank branch:
(i) For issuance of RuPay Debit card having inbuilt accident insurance cover of
Rs.1 lakh;
(ii) For issuance of an overdraft facility of Rs.5000 after satisfactory
operations in the account for some time.
The
Government has asked the banks to extend overdraft facility of Rs.5,000 as
above to only one member, preferably lady of a house-hold.
The
finance ministry, in consultation with the Life Insurance Corporation of India
(LIC) has finalised the arrangement for payment of premium towards life
insurance cover under the Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana.
It has been decided to set aside Rs 50 crore from the Social Security Fund,
managed by LIC and worth about Rs 1,800 crore, sources said.
This would be a revolving fund and LIC would manage it, sources said, adding
that
Finance Minister Arun Jaitley is likely to approve the
arrangement soon.
A Social Security Fund (SSF) was set up in 1988-89 for providing social
security through group insurance schemes to the weaker and vulnerable sections
of society. The SSF is administered by LIC for meeting insurance requirements
of the segment.
To
make the Pradhan Mantri
Jan Dhan
Yojana (PMJDY) a mega success, the government has doubled the
personal
accident cover to Rs 2 lakh per person if the bank account is opened within
the first 100 days of the massive financial inclusion programme being launched
Thursday.
Towards this, NPCI has already tied up with private sector general insurer
HDFC Ergo for the first Rs 1 lakh accident cover which will be issued with the
RuPay card of the account holder, Hota said, adding the other Rs 1 lakh cover
will be provided by any of the four state-owned general insurers.
"We have tied up with HDFC Ergo to provide this additional Rs 1 lakh
personal accident cover to all those who open their bank account during this
period. However, the remaining Rs 1 lakh insurance cover will come from any of
the four state-owned general insurers as per the agreement reached between NPCI
and the insurers," Hota said.
Hota further explained that the additional Rs 1 lakh cover comes with a
rider that the account-holder will have to do at least one transaction in 45
days.
