Maximum Insurable age and the rates of compulsory premium: Earlier as per the APGLI Fund Rule, an employee who is appointed under 10(a)(i)(1) of the General Rules for the State and Subordinate Services is eligible to get insured with Directorate of Insurance on completion of one year service. This condition might have been relevant in the olden days where there were temporary appointments. Presently, almost all the appointments are made on regular basis mainly through A.P.P.S.C./D.S.C./Police recruitment board, Hence, the existing condition of one year service for recovery of A.P.G.L.I. premium may not be applicable. Also, the condition of completion of one year service is denying the newly recruited employees from getting the benefit of risk coverage. Further, the Director of Insurance has requested the Government to kindly issue necessary orders for effecting the A.P.G.L.I. premium recovery in the first month salary of the employee soon after he/she joins the Government service without the condition of (1) year service completion. Government after careful examination of the recommendations of the Committee and as per the request of the Director of Insurance, Government hereby permitted to recover the compulsory premium amount which was prescribed in the Government orders from time to time to be deducted from the date of payment of first month salary soon after he /she joins the Government service on regular basis without waiting for completion of one year service. The Drawing and Disbursing Officers concerned are therefore requested to recover the compulsory premium of A.P.G.L.I. amount which was prescribed in the Government orders from time to time to deduct the compulsory premium from the date of payment of first salary soon after he/she joins the Government service without waiting for completion of one year service, who are in the insurable age of 21-53 years. The Drawing and Disbursing officer is solely responsible for recovery
of 1 st premium and submission of prescribed form immediately to concerned District Insurance Officer after recovery of 1 st premium, to enable the concerned District Insurance Officer, to issue policy within one month. Due to enhancement of age of superannuation from (58) years to (60) years and introduction of the Revised Scales of Pay, 2015, the Director of Insurance has sent proposals for enhancement of the maximum Insurable age from 53 years to 55 years and to revise the rates of compulsory premium based on the Revised Scales applicable to various categories of employees. The Government permitted the Director of Insurance to take necessary further action and submit detailed proposals after consulting the Actuary and the Accountant General, A&E, Andhra Pradesh. Accordingly, the Director of Insurance has submitted necessary proposal. After careful examination of the proposal of the Director of Insurance, Government hereby order that the maximum Insurable age under the Andhra Pradesh Government Life Insurance Scheme be raised from 53 years to 55 years and the rates of compulsory premium under the scheme shall be revised as detailed below and accordingly issue the following instructions. (a) All the employees shall increase their premium as per the revised rates specified above and submit requisite 'Proposal Form', after recovery of first premium from
the salary at the revised rates and take an Insurance Policy from the Insurance Department. (b) Unless proposal form is submitted and policies are obtained, the employees will not get Insurance coverage for the enhanced premium paid. (c) An employee who is already a subscriber of the Fund having Policy / Policies, and is aged below (55) years can enhance the premium for additional policies. However, he should submit his application in the prescribed Proforma before he actually attains the age of 55years. Under any circumstances proposal shall not be accepted if the applicant has already attained the age of 55 years on the date of submission of his application, notwithstanding the fact that the amount was already deducted in the monthly pay bills. Such amounts shall be treated as unauthorized amounts and refunded to the individual following the usual procedure. d) An employee who is already a subscriber of the Fund but is aged above (55) years cannot increase the Premium for additional Policies. However, in respect of those employees, recovery shall continue at the existing rates of Premium for the existing policies till the original date of maturity of the said policies (Last Premium due). e) The minimum term of Policy should be (5) years i.e., Maximum age at entry shall not be more than (55) years.
