In our day to day lives, all of us are exposed to risks of accidents, though exposure to some is more than the others. Besides the man-made risks, the natural hazards like lightning, flood, earthquake etc. are equally responsible for accidents.
Although human life and sufferings can not be measured with money, but with a view to provide some relief to the injured person or members of his family in the event of an unfortunate fatal accident, an insurance cover known as Janata Personal Accident Insurance has been designed for individuals and members of various groups, particularly targeted to the economically weaker sections of society, since the maximum Sum Insured permissible is Rs. 1,00,000/- only per person under the Policy.
The policy covers Death and Permanent Total Disablement due to an accident.
The minimum Sum Insured per person per annum is Rs 25,000.
A higher Sum Insured can be chosen in multiples of Rs 5,000 subject to a maximum of Rs.1,00,000.
The Policy provides for payment of specified amount (benefit) on happening of specified contingency due to an accident. An accident may include events like:
Rail, road, air accident.
Injury due to any collision / fall.

Snake bite, frost bite.
Burn injury, drowning, poisoning, etc.
This is only an illustrative list, not an exhaustive list.
