modicum of insurance cover. Modi shortened the time for achieving the 7.5 crore new accounts to five months from six, urging the finance ministry to complete the task by January 26.

Each account with life insurance cover of Rs 30,000, adding to the Rs 1 lakh accidental insurance benefit already available under the account that will come bundled with a Ru-Pay-

enabled debit card. fter six months of satisfactory operations, the account would be eligible forRs 5,000 overdraft facility, designed to take the poor out of the clutches of moneylenders. Subsequently, these

accounts will be also used for providing micro pensions. Key facts

The slogan for the Pradhanmantri Jan Dhan mission is expected to be ” Mera Khata – Bhagya Vidhaata” which when translated into English means ” My Bank Account – The Creator of the Good Fortune”:

The primary aim of the Jan Dhan Yojana is to bring poor financially excluded people into the banking system by providing them bank accounts and debit cards.

The scheme will cover both urban and rural areas of India and all bank accounts opened will be linked to a debit card which would be issued under the Ru-Pay scheme. ( Rupay is India’s own unique domestic card network owned by National Payments Corporation of India and has been

created as an alternative to Visa and Mastercard.) Every individual who opens a bank account becomes eligible to receive an accident insurance

cover of up-to Rs 1 Lakh for his entire family. The Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana has set an ambitious target of bringing in more than 7.5 crore un-banked families into India’s banking system by opening more than 15 Crore bank

accounts at the rate of two bank accounts per household. Once the bank account has been active for 6 months and has been linked to account holders

Aadhar identity , they would become eligible for an overdraft of up to Rs 2,500 , which would further be enhanced by the bank to Rs 5000 over time.
