(a) to (b): According to information provided by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, a total  of  14.75  crore  families  with  an  estimated  72  crore  persons  have  been  covered  under Ayushman Bharat - Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (AB-PMJAY) which was launched in September  2018  for  providing  accessible  and  affordable  healthcare  to  the  common  man, thereby massively expanding health insurance coverage. Further, another 14 crore persons have  been  covered  under  Employees'  State  Insurance  Scheme  and  Central  Government Health Scheme.

As informed by Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India, around 29.27 crore persons in the country are covered through health insurance policies (excluding Government sponsored schemes) issued by insurers.

According  to  the  IRDAI  (Health  Insurance)  Regulations,  2016  pricing  of  health  insurance products offered by insurers is based on the age of the insured and other relevant risk factors, such as claims experience and the principles of pricing contained in these Regulations.

Representations have been received by the Government from various VIPs and stakeholders seeking a reduction in the GST rate on health insurance policies. The GST Council in its 31 st and 37 th  meetings examined similar requests but did not make any recommendation in this regard. Thereafter, in view of the representations received, the matter was examined again and placed before the GST Council in its 47 th  meeting held on 28 th  and 29 th  June 2022 wherein the Council did not recommend any change.

At present, GST rate on health insurance services is levied at standard rate, i.e., 18 per cent. However, in pre-GST regime also, health insurance scheme attracted service tax at a standard rate.
