Benefits

The product has the following options to choose from:

  • Major Critical Illness Cover: Get cover against 26 pre-defined major critical illnesses. The benefit is payable irrespective of the actual expenses incurred by you. This product provides a lump sum payout equal to the applicable Sum Assured on first diagnosis of a major critical illness or first performance of any of the listed surgeries in relation to a major critical illness. On the payment of the applicable Sum Assured, coverage will terminate immediately.
  • Heart Cover and Cancer Cover: The benefits payable under Heart or Cancer Cover (as applicable) will be paid as a lump sum upon first diagnosis of any of the illnesses/ first performance of any of the covered surgeries. The payout depends on the severity of the diagnosed condition (major/minor) and claims previously admitted under this Policy. If the Life Assured is diagnosed with Cancer or Heart disease of defined severity, a percentage of the applicable Sum Assured will be paid, as per the below schedule:
Heart Cover and Cancer Cover:

  • Increasing Cover option: You have the option of taking Increasing Cover under all the three plans (Major Critical Illness Cover, Heart Cover, and Cancer Cover) at proposal stage. Under Increasing Cover option, the initial Sum Assured increases by 10% (simple rate) every year starting from the first policy anniversary, until the first claim is made. The Sum Assured can go up to a maximum of 150% of the initial Sum Assured. However, in case of Heart Cover, under Increasing Cover option, the maximum cover is subject to a cap of INR2.5 million.

This monthly income payment is over and above the lump sum paid on diagnosis of the illness/ condition, and will continue to be paid to your nominee for the total defined period of 5 years, even in case of your unfortunate death.
