Financial Express Kochi
|April 28, 2025
FREE HOSPITALISATION BENEFITS worth over ₹1.29 lakh crore have been provided to beneficiaries under the Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (PM-JAY) since the scheme was rolled out in September 2018.
More than 90 million people have so far benefitted from the PMJAY scheme, which offers ₹500,000-a-year free health cover, according to official data. The scheme was made available for 107 million poor households in the country in 2018, roughly covering the bottom 40% of the population.
When the scheme was launched, an estimated 62% of healthcare costs were borne out of pocket, pushing millions of Indians into poverty every year. Since then, it has come down substantially, according to the government.
