Health insurance cover increased to Rs 25,00,000 per family in Rajasthan

Expanding the ambit of beneficiaries, now the government will also bear the insurance premium of families of Economically Weaker Sections

Looking at the popularity of the free universal health care scheme in the state, the Rajasthan government has increased health insurance cover from Rs 10 lakh to Rs 25 lakh per family.

Similarly, the government has increased the insurance amount to Rs 10 lakh from Rs 5 lakh in the Mukhyamantri Chiranjeevi Durghatna Bima Yojana (Chief Minister Chiranjeevi Accident Insurance Scheme).

The increase in the insurance scheme is likely to be applicable from April 1, 2023.

Shafaqat, a resident of Jaipur, said it was a praiseworthy decision to increase the treatment amount to Rs 25 lakh from Rs 10 lakh.
