FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

PMSBY scheme details - The scheme is a Personal Accident Insurance Scheme that keeps you covered for a year. Thereafter, just keep it renewed at the end of each year. It provides insurance benefits on death or disability caused by an accident.

Pay only ₹20 as annual premium, and you get benefits such as –

  • A ₹2 lakh coverage on death
  • A ₹2 lakh coverage on total and irrecoverable loss of either both eyes, or loss of use of hands or feet
  • A ₹1 lakh coverage on total and irrecoverable loss of an eye, or loss of use of one hand or foot

It gets deducted automatically from your Savings Account. This is made possible by the auto-debit instruction you give at the time of enrolment.

Rest assured, it is handled by the best in the business. This scheme is offered/administered through Public Sector General Insurance Companies (PSGICs) and other General Insurance companies. They offer it in collaboration with participating banks. As GIGA account holders of HDFC Bank, you will enjoy coverage of the scheme through HDFC Ergo General Insurance Co Ltd.

For starters, you must be a Savings Account holder with the participating bank, such as HDFC Bank. Then, if you are between the ages of 18 and 70 years, you are eligible to join. If you have multiple Savings Accounts in one or different banks, you would be eligible to join the scheme through any one of the accounts only.


Individuals who exit the scheme at any point may rejoin the scheme in future years subject to meeting age eligibility criteria.

Participating banks themselves are the master policyholders. So, in your case, it is HDFC Bank.

Your SBY policy gets terminated when any of the following events occur:

  1. You get to the age of 70 years (age nearer birthday).
  2. You have closed your account with the bank, or there was insufficient balance to debit the renewal premium.
  3. In case you took coverage through more than one account, the premium is received by the insurance company. In this case, the insurance cover will be restricted to one account, and the premium shall be liable to be forfeited.

Yes. You can opt for this scheme in addition to any other existing insurance scheme active in your name.
