Q38: Scenario: Mr. Das (aged 72) and Mrs. Das (aged 68) belong to a family already covered under the standard Ayushman Bharat PM-JAY scheme. Following the 2026 guidelines, how is the health cover structured for them?

A
The family gets a single shared float of Rupees 5 Lakh total.
B
Mr. Das gets a separate exclusive top-up of Rupees 5 Lakh, while Mrs. Das shares the family float.
C
Both Mr. and Mrs. Das get a separate combined top-up of Rupees 10 Lakh.
D
Mrs. Das is excluded until she turns 70.
✅ Correct Answer: B
Mr.
Das receives a separate top-up.
The Union Budget 2026-27 mandates that the additional 5 Lakh cover is exclusive to 70+ members.
Mrs.
Das (68) remains in the standard family pool until she turns 70.
This ensures dedicated geriatric care funding.
