Cevap

The statement combination '1 and 3 only' is correct. Pradhan Mantri Jeevan Jyoti Bima Yojana (PMJJBY) offers a ₹2 lakh life insurance cover for individuals aged 18 to 50 years with a savings bank account, administered by LIC and partner life insurers. Statement 2 is incorrect because PMJJBY is a subscriber-funded social security scheme with automatic premium deduction, not a Centrally Sponsored cost-shared scheme.
The correct response identifies statements 1 and 3 as true. Pradhan Mantri Jeevan Jyoti Bima Yojana (PMJJBY) is a flagship social security life insurance scheme offering a ₹2 lakh cover for death due to any reason to individuals aged 18–50 years holding a savings bank account. It is implemented through LIC and other life insurers in partnership with participating banks. Statement 2 is false because the premium is paid entirely by the policyholder via auto-debit rather than through a 60:40 Centre-State funding split.
