. NEW DELHI: A new national white paper has exposed a sweeping health-insurance crisis for persons with disabilities in India, revealing that 80% still have no health cover, while 53% of those who applied were rejected by insurers — and 60% of them were given no reason at all. Based on a survey of over 5,000 people across 34 states and UTs, the report warns that millions remain locked out of basic financial protection despite clear legal safeguards.Despite constitutional mandates, judicial interventions, directives by the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India (IRDAI) and the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act (2016), the white paper notes persistent challenges in current insurance products. Many cases of denial are based solely on disability status, compounded by pre-existing conditions, with evidence of such practices often failing to reach regulators or the insurance ombudsman.Released on Thursday by the National Centre for Promotion of Employment for Disabled People (NCPEDP), the report calls the scale of exclusion “a rights crisis hidden in plain sight,” affecting nearly 16 crore Indians with disabilities. Applicants with autism, psychosocial disabilities, intellectual disabilities and blood disorders such as thalassemia face some of the highest rejection rates. Even those who attempt to navigate the system encounter inaccessible digital platforms, unaffordable premiums and limited awareness of available schemes.Arman Ali, executive director of NCPEDP, said the findings expose a national inequity India can no longer ignore. “Ayushman Bharat is expanding to cover all senior citizens above 70. Yet persons with disabilities — who face equal or greater health vulnerabilities — remain conspicuously excluded,” he said. “If India can include all senior citizens above 70, there is no justification to exclude persons with 21 types of disabilities without income and age criteria. India cannot afford the generational cost of this exclusion.”To close this gap, the white paper recommends immediate inclusion of all persons with disabilities under Ayushman Bharat (PM-JAY) without age or income criteria. It also calls for stronger coverage of mental health, rehabilitation and assistive technologies; a Disability Inclusion Committee within IRDAI; standardised premiums; and fully accessible digital and offline insurance processes. A national awareness drive is urgently needed to shift the narrative from charity to rights-based healthcare.Experts warn that the consequences of this exclusion are severe — from delayed treatment and catastrophic out-of-pocket spending to deeper poverty among already vulnerable families. As India moves toward universal health coverage, the report argues, the country cannot continue leaving millions outside the safety net.About the AuthorAnuja JaiswalAnuja Jaiswal is a Senior Assistant Editor at The Times of India, with an impressive 18-year career in narrative journalism.
