There is no move by the public sector insurers to exclude persons above 55 years of age from mediclaim insurance, Minister of State for Finance P K Bansal told the Rajya Sabha in a written reply.
The Parliamentary Committee on Public Undertakings has already discussed the issue of Health insurance, including the one related to mediclaim insurance for senior citizens, he said.
SBI: The State Bank of India levies inspection charges on loan accounts above Rs 25,000,
Bansal said in reply to another question.
The government's permission has not been sought by SBI for this decision, as it is purely an operational matter, he added.
So far, 22 public sector banks and 12 private sector banks have been reimbursed to the extent of Rs 252.58 crore (Rs 2.52 billion) and Rs 5.16 crore (Rs 51.6 million), respectively for giving crop loans to farmers at subsidised rate of 7 per cent, he said.
