Double the Deen Dayal Swasthya Seva Yojana insurance cover in phases
“We will expand the scope of Deen Dayal Swasthya Seva Yojana to double the insurance cover in a phased manner.”
The verdict
A 2026 Health Department notification raised DDSSY cover from Rs 2.5 lakh to Rs 4 lakh for families of up to three (+60%) and from Rs 4 lakh to Rs 6 lakh for larger families (+50%). This falls short of double, so the provisional rating uses the 50-74% band.
Rule applied: In progress: deadline not reached; rating is provisional and not counted in the final score
