The Government of India started the Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana (PMJDY) in the year 2014 so that all people have a bank account. This scheme has completed 10 years. If we talk about the success of the scheme, then people liked this scheme very much.
By August 2024, 36.13 crore Rupay Debit Cards have been issued under the PM Jan Dhan Yojana. No amount is charged to issue these cards. Apart from this, the account holder also gets an insurance benefit of Rs 2 lakh and an overdraft facility of Rs 10,000 on this card.
The State Bank of India said in a report that after the increase in PMJDY accounts, there has been a decline in crime rates, which has had a positive impact on the society.
