Are regular medical checkups covered under the PM Vay Vandana Yojana?

Hello Iyer Ji,

The PM Vaya Vandana Yojana (PMVVY) is a pension scheme for senior citizens aged 60 and above, offered by the Life Insurance Corporation (LIC) of India. Its primary purpose is to provide financial security through a guaranteed monthly, quarterly, or yearly pension, not to cover medical expenses.

So, to clarify:

• PMVVY does NOT cover regular medical checkups or healthcare costs.

• It is purely a financial product, not a health insurance or medical benefits scheme.

If you're looking for health-related coverage, you may want to explore:

• Ayushman Bharat (PM-JAY) – provides free treatment in empanelled hospitals for eligible families.

• Senior Citizen Health Insurance plans from private insurers like Star Health, Niva Bupa, etc.

Wishing you good health and peace of mind.
