The state government has given a big gift to the government employees of Assam even before the festive season. Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma has announced a new insurance policy for the state government employees. Under this scheme, the employees will be provided with life insurance and disability cover at zero premium.
Under this policy, state government employees will get life insurance up to Rs 10 lakh. In case of partial disability, Rs 80 lakh will be provided to the policyholder, while in case of accidental death, the cover will be increased to Rs 1 crore.
The Assam government approved this zero-premium insurance policy in the cabinet meeting. The government aims to ensure the financial security of government employees and their families.

No premium will have to be paid
To avail the benefits of this scheme, employees will not have to pay any premium. For this, the state government is entering into arrangements with the State Bank of India and all scheduled commercial banks with which employees have salary accounts.
How can you take advantage of the benefits of insurance?
As soon as a person joins a government job, he/she will automatically come under the scope of this premium cover. State government employees need not apply separately. This scheme is applicable to all state government employees and this facility will be provided through their salary accounts in designated banks.
Recently, the Hemant Soren government of Jharkhand also took a similar big decision. Here the state government has announced the launch of a pension scheme for lawyers above the age of 65, a stipend for new lawyers and a health insurance scheme for all lawyers. Jharkhand has become the first state in the country to launch such facilities for lawyers.
