The maximum time that will be taken to process the claim is 60 days from the date of submission of documents to the bank.
Nominees of policy holders of the Pradhan Mantri Jeevan Jyoti Bima Yojana (PMJJBY) can claim the sum assured under the scheme in case of death of the insured person. This can also be done in cases where the policyholder has died due to novel coronavirus. However, any claim can be made only if the policy was in force at the time of the death of the insured.
