The Pradhan Mantri Jeevan Jyoti Bima Yojana (PMJJBY) is a non-participating, non-linked, yearly renewable, term insurance scheme, which offers a risk cover against death on the life of the policy buyer. This term insurance policy is backed by the Central Government of India, and is administered by the Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) and also private-sector life insurance companies. Since this is a pure term insurance plan, the policy only offers a death benefit if the life assured passes away during the policy tenure. No benefit/payout is offered at maturity of the policy.

The aim of the PMJJBY is to increase the insurance penetration in India.
This life insurance plan is a yearly renewable plan and any individual, between ages 18 and 55, with a savings bank account can avail the benefits of the scheme by giving his/her consent to auto-debit the premium amount. The premium payable towards the policy is as low as Rs.330 per annum and the lump sum amount payable on the demise of the life assured is Rs.2 lakh.
