How many people are enrolled in PMJJBY, PMSBY and APY?

Three schemes, three counts: APY (pension) 9.04 crore, PMJJBY (life cover) 27.43 crore and PMSBY (accident cover) 58.09 crore. They are cumulative enrolments, so one person can be counted in more than one scheme and in more than one year.

The figures side by side

How we got this number

1. Open the PIB release on 11 years of the Jan Suraksha schemes (9 May 2026) and read the cumulative enrolments for each scheme.
2. Note the reference dates: 29 April 2026 for PMJJBY and PMSBY and 30 April 2026 for APY.
3. Read the claims paid under PMJJBY and PMSBY in the same paragraph, so the enrolment count is not mistaken for people currently covered.

What this number does not tell you

• These are cumulative enrolments since May 2015, not people covered today. PMJJBY and PMSBY are one-year covers renewed each year, so the same person is counted again whenever they renew.
• The Finance Minister's remarks in the release round the same numbers down to "27 crore, 58 crore and 9 crore". We use the more exact figures from the release's own list.
• Atal Pension Yojana is a pension scheme, run by PFRDA under the National Pension System; its 9.04 crore is a count of individuals who enrolled, not of active pension accounts.
