How To Check PM Jan Dhan Account Balance?

Individuals who do not have any other account can open a basic savings bank deposit (BSBD) account in any bank branch or Business Correspondent (Bank Mitra) outlet under the scheme. With the RuPay card provided to PMJDY account holders, an accident insurance benefit of Rs.1 lakh (limited to Rs.2 lakh for new PMJDY accounts opened after 28.8.2018) is also available. Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT), Pradhan Mantri Jeevan Jyoti Bima Yojana (PMJJBY), Pradhan Mantri Suraksha Bima Yojana (PMSBY), Atal Pension Yojana (APY), and Micro Units Development & Refinance Agency Bank (MUDRA) schemes are available for PMJDY accounts.
