Dear Shri M.C. Manav,

This is in reference to the email dated 13.07.2017 to this Ministry.

This is to inform you that RashtriyaSwasthyaBimaYojana (RSBY) is a government sponsored scheme

administered by Ministry of Health Family Welfare (MoHFW) in which BPL along with 11 other defined
categories of unorganised workers are covered with an annual coverage of Rs. 30,000/- per family up to
five members on family floater basis. An additional coverage vide Senior Citizen Health Insurance
Scheme (SCHIS) is also provided to the RSBY beneficiary families in which Rs. 30,000 per senior citizen
per year is also implemented from 1st April, 2016.

Currently RSBY is not being implemented in the State of Maharashtra.

With respect to your suggestion of instructing Insurance Companies, you are advised to contact IRDAI or
Department of Financial Services, the nodal Ministry handling Insurance related matters.

In case of any complaints/suggestions regarding public hospitals, you may get in touch with Health
Department of your State.

Thanks Regards,
