PRADHAN MANTRI JAN DHAN YOJNA :
·
OBJECTIVE-
It is important step to make financial inclusion possible, by providing bank accounts, overdraft facility, insurance
cover and Rupay debit cards to all the citizens of the
country.
·
Ministry
in charge of the scheme: Department of
Financial Services, Ministry of Finance.
·
It was launched on 28th August 2014 by our honorable P.M Narendra
Modi.
Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana (PMJDY) is a nationwide scheme launched by
Indian government in August 2014. In this scheme financial inclusion of every
individual who does not have a bank account is to be achieved.
The scheme will ensure financial access to
everyone who was not able to get benefits of many other finance related
government schemes. These financial services include Banking/ Savings &
Deposit Accounts, Remittance, Credit, Insurance, Pension which will be made
available to all the citizens in easy and affordable mode.
According to the data issued by finance
ministry, till September 2014 around 40 million (4 crores) bank accounts have
been opened under the Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana since the scheme launched.
However there was another financial scheme
(Swabhimaan) launched earlier in which the target of
opening the bank accounts was for villages only. But in Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojna the entire individuals irrespective of
their area (rural or urban) can get a bank account without depositing any
amount if they fulfill other eligibility criteria. This scheme is very
beneficial for the rural population where banking services and other financial
institution are rarely available.
Under the Jan Dhan Yojna anyone who is India citizen above age of
10 years and does not have a bank account, can open the account with zero
balance. Account can be opened in any bank branch or Business Correspondent
(Bank Mitr) outlet, specially designed for the
purpose of opening the accounts under this scheme. The scheme also provides
facility of accidental insurance cover up to rupees one lac without any charge
for the account holder.
The account holders under the jan dhan yojana will be given a RuPay debit card which can be used at all ATMs
for cash withdrawal and at most of the retail outlets for making transaction
for purchases.
Benefits of Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana
The Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana or more popularly known as PMJDY scheme is
planning on revolutionizing the traditional banking system in India by
providing the banking opportunity and insurance coverage to all including the
poor. It is an initiative taken by the Prime Minister Narendra Modi who started
this ambitious project to help the poor become more financially confident
through this venture and allowing every citizen the right to have their own
bank account and insurance coverage which was previously impossible for most of
the population under poverty.
The purpose of this scheme will definitely
benefit the overall economy of the country and the scheme provides some
lucrative benefits which should certainly be availed and considered. Here is listed
some important benefits of the Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojna (PMJDY) scheme which would certainly
inspire the country to a more prosperous future for all.
Life
insurance under Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana
Under the PMJDY scheme the account holders
will be given worth Rs.30000 insurance coverage if they comply with certain
specification of the scheme which includes opening an account by January 26,
2015 and having an accidental insurance coverage of over Rs. 200000.
Loan
benefits under Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana
The account holder can take loan benefit
of up to Rs.5000 from the bank after six months from opening the account.
Though the amount might seem insignificant for many but we have to realize the
scheme is directed mostly towards people below the poverty line and who are
struggling desperately to sustain their everyday living. The loan benefit can
be a scintilla of hope for those people who could utilize the loan amount and
invest it in a more profitable outcome, particularly in farming or other
agricultural prospect.
Mobile
banking facilities under Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana
Though the technology of using smart
phones to conduct our bank transactions is not novel anymore but the PMJDY
scheme will allow its account holders to avail the same facilities of checking
balance and transferring funds through a normal cell phone which is more
affordable to the general economy.
Hence PM Jan Dhan Yojana is indeed a prosperous venture and we
certainly hope the Prime Minister and the mass economy are both benefited
through this new venture.
The Jan Dhan Yojana:
Bank account was a scheme that was initiated by the Pradhan Mantri on 15th august,
2014. This scheme was initiated with the motive of providing bank account to
every household in India.
Under this scheme good facilities like
insurance scheme of upto 3500 is added for every individual who is
a holder of this account. Not only this after completing six months the holder
of this account gets a facility of overdraft for INR.5000/. This is a normal
savings account where one can open this as having zero balance in their
account. The account holder will also be given a RuPay Card which facilitates the owner to
withdraw the cash from the ATM’s.
Documents required by an individual to
open Jan Dhan Yojana account are mentioned below:-
·
Should
have valid current or permanent address proof like passport, aadhar card etc. Aadhar card is very important document that
everyone should habe. If you have applied for aadhar card then you check the status of aadhar card online
·
If
the address is changes he/she should have valid documents mentioning the
transfer of address
·
2
passport size photographs
·
If
he/she does not have valid residential proof, one can also show identity proof
that has been issued by government of India
·
One
can also arrange for an authority letter from the gazette officer giving an assurity that an individual is a resident of India
and hold an Indian Nationality.
·
If
the individual fails to provide any of the above proofs, then the bank can do a
ground check of the individual. If the approached bank finds the individual to
fall under “low risk” category then he/she will be given a chance to open a
temporary account for 12 months known as small account. For converting this
account into permanent account one has to submit valid documents before the
completing the tenure of 12 months with the bank.
an Dhan Yojana Account scheme was launched by the Pradhan Mantri Shri Narendra Modi with the motive of
inviting every family to have one bank account where their money will be safe.
Facilities like zero balance were given to the individual who opens the
account. He is also eligible for a RuPay card and can apply for a loan of
INR5000.00 after having the account operative for a period of 6 months.
The major aim was to make the rural
population participate and open a bank account where their money is utilized in
the right way. All nationalized banks and a couple of international banks have
actively participated in this scheme have set up camps in different locations
to invite the
individuals to come and open bank accounts
under Jan Dhan Yojana scheme.
Below is the list of Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana Account eligibility criteria:-
·
An
individual who holds an Indian nationality is eligible to open an account under
this scheme.
·
A
minor who is above 10 years of age is eligible to open the account in any bank
under this scheme. He will need to have a guardian to manage the account along
with him. He will also be eligible for a RuPay Card on which one can withdraw 4 times
from any ATM.
·
An
Individual who does not hold any valid documents to prove that he is an Indian
national but after the bank does their ground research and categorizes the
person into “low risk” is eligible to open the account under this scheme.
·
An
individual who has any identity proof authorized by any gazette officer is
eligible to open the account under this scheme.
·
An
individual who has an existing bank savings account with the bank can transfer
his account to Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana account so he is eligible for the benefits from that
account.
Jan Dhan Yojana: Bank account was launched by the
Pradhan Mantri on the 15th of august, 2014
with the motive that each family should have one bank account. Since these days
it is important for a minor to also have savings account, under this scheme one
can open an account for a child above
10 years. Though the child needs to have a guardian who will take care of the
account till the child turns 18 years of age.
This Jan Dhan Yojana account will be a joint account. The joint account holder
will be the minor and the guardian. No transactions will be done without the
consent from both the account holders. The guardian on his/her behalf needs to
submit his/her documents. Once the minor attains an age of 18years the bank
will ask for the child’s identity proof after which the account will be
automatically transferred to the child after submitting the documents.
The guardian will need to submit the
following documents:-
·
Any
valid residential proof i.e. Adhar card, ration card, passport etc.
·
If
the person is not holding any of the above then he will need to submit an
identity proof issued by the central government of india.
·
He
can also submit an authority letter issued by the gazette officer.
·
If he
does not have any of these, he can yet open a small bank account where if the
bank declares the account holder who belongs to the “low risk” category. In
this scenario, the individual needs to sign the application for opening the
account in front of the bank authorities. This account will be valid only for a
period of 12 months. If he/she wants to keep the account operative, he/she will
need to submit any of the above documents before 12 months.
·
As
far as I have inquired there is no last date for PM Jan Dhan Yojana. But
there are some free scheme going on these days like a free Life Insurance cover
from LIC of Rs Thirty Thousand which may end in some
time. So if you want to avail this free insurance then there may be a last date
for opening for PM Jan Dhan Yojana account.

Indian
Prime Minister Mr. Narendra Modi is a new synonym for revolution and success.
Within few months of his governance, people of India have experienced lots of
positive transformation. As mentioned by him, India is still facing financial
inequality. Due to this, the financial growth of the county is still
progressing very slowly. Hence, to eradicate this financial inequality, a
significant move has been taken by the Prime Minister. This fiscal program is
known as “Jan Dhan Yojna”.
