Which statement is NOT correct about the Ayushman Bharat

Solution

The statement that "Senior Citizen Health Insurance Scheme (SCHIS) is not covered under the scheme" is incorrect. Ayushman Bharat Scheme, launched in 2018, is indeed a National Health Protection Scheme that provides health insurance coverage of Rs. 5 lakh per family per year for secondary and tertiary medical care. The scheme has two main components: Health and Wellness Centres (HWCs) and Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (PMJAY). It targets families identified in the Socio-Economic Caste Census (SECC), covering over 10 crore families. The Rashtriya Swasthya Bima Yojana (RSBY) has been subsumed under this scheme.
