In India, a large proportion of the population still does not avail any kind of insurance cover which may compensate the dependents/family members in case of any tragic turn of events (death/illness/accident) of an individual.
Thus to boost the Social Welfare and Security System few schemes were announced by our Hon’able Finance Minister, Mr. Arun Jaitley during his Budget 2015-16 speech. The schemes included Pradhan Mantri Jeevan Jyoti Bima Yojana (Term Insurance), Pradhan Mantri Suraksha Bima Yojana (Accident Insurance) and Atal Pension Yojana (APY). These schemes aim to provide social protection to the individuals so that they can reduce their financial burden to a certain extent and sustain themselves.
In this post I will discuss some of the salient features about the Pradhan Mantri Jeevan Jyoti Bima Yojana (Term Insurance) for Individuals.

Hi there! I know this is kinda off topic but I was wondering which blog platform are you using for this site? I’m getting tired of WordPress because I’ve had issues with hackers and I’m looking at options for another platform. I would be awesome if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.

I?ll right away grab your rss as I can’t find your email subscription link or newsletter service. Do you have any? Please let me know so that I could subscribe. Thanks.
After study a couple of of the weblog posts in your website now, and I actually like your manner of blogging. I bookmarked it to my bookmark web site listing and will probably be checking again soon. Pls take a look at my site as effectively and let me know what you think.
Thanks for making me to get new concepts about computer systems. I also contain the belief that certain of the best ways to help keep your laptop in prime condition is by using a hard plastic-type material case, or even shell, that fits over the top of the computer. These kind of protective gear are model specific since they are manufactured to fit perfectly across the natural outer shell. You can buy these directly from the seller, or through third party sources if they are readily available for your notebook, however not all laptop will have a spend on the market. Yet again, thanks for your ideas.
