May 11, 2021
Bankers critical of move, see more pressure on already overworked staff
The Finance Ministry has re-energised its effort to get more people, especially from lower-income group and vulnerable sections, to enrol under the Pradhan Mantri Jeevan Jyoti Bima Yojana (PMJJBY), a low-cost life insurance scheme. But bankers are not very enthused about this effort.
“In these testing times, let’s take a step towards security. Subscribe to PMJJBY and secure the safety of your loved ones. Available to people in the age group 18 to 50 years with a bank account who give their consent to join/enable auto-debit of premium,” the Financial Services Department (DFS) said in a tweet.
