AP State Employees GIS
The AP State Employees Group Insurance Scheme (APSEGIS) is a welfare scheme designed to provide financial assistance to the employees and their families in the event of death, disability or retirement.
The scheme is open to all employees of the Andhra Pradesh government, including those working in state-owned corporations, boards, and universities. The scheme is managed by the Andhra Pradesh State Insurance Department and is funded by the state government.
Under the APEGIS, eligible employees can enroll in one of three insurance plans: the Basic Plan, the Special Plan, and the Retirement Benefit Plan. The Basic Plan provides coverage for death and disability, while the Special Plan offers additional coverage for accidental death and permanent disability. The Retirement Benefit Plan provides a lump sum payment to the employee upon retirement.
The premium for the APEGIS is paid by the employee, with the state government providing a subsidy for eligible employees. The premium amount is based on the employee’s salary and the plan they have chosen. Employees can also choose to enroll in the scheme for their spouse and children.
One of the major benefits of the APEGIS is that it provides a sense of security to the employees and their families. In the event of death or disability, the financial assistance provided by the scheme can help to alleviate the financial burden on the employee’s family. Additionally, the retirement benefit provided by the Retirement Benefit Plan can help to supplement the employee’s retirement income.
Overall, the AP State Employees Group Insurance Scheme is a valuable welfare scheme for the employees of Andhra Pradesh government and their families. It provides financial assistance in times of need and helps to ensure a secure future for the employees and their loved ones.
