It would have Rs 210-crore financial implication for 2013-14 and Rs 419.89 crore from next financial year onwards, Finance Minister P Chidambaram said at a briefing after the Cabinet meeting. Around 3.4 crore smart cards had been issued for the Rs 30,000 per annum cashless health insurance cover for BPL families under the scheme launched in 2008.
