AB-PMJAY provides Rs 5 lakh (Rs 5,00,000) per family per year for secondary and tertiary care hospitalisation, covering approximately the bottom 40% of India's population (about 50 crore beneficiaries). The scheme is cashless and covers pre-existing conditions from day one. It is a demand-side financing scheme funded by the central and state governments. The Rs 1.5 lakh figure was the earlier Rashtriya Swasthya Bima Yojana (RSBY) limit.
