Group Term Life

GROUP TERM INSURANCE SCHEME

Group Term Insurance Scheme is meant to provide life insurance protection to groups of people. Administration of the scheme is on group basis; as such, the cost is very low. Minimum and maximum age limit for eligibility of cover is 18 years to 59 years. Participation of minimum 75% of eligible members of the group at inception is compulsory.

Premium Chargeable

Group (Term) Insurance Scheme is offered under One Year Renewable Group term assurance plan (OYRGTA). At the commencement and thereafter on each Annual Renewal Date, the Group Policyholder will have to send the entire member’s data (and particulars of the new entrants from time to time) to us.

General Features of Group Insurance Scheme:

§ MASTER POLICY: A single Master Policy is issued covering all the members of the scheme and the scheme is administered by the Employers, Associations, and Societies etc. called Nodal agencies.

§ PREMIUM: The premium under such scheme may be wholly paid by the employer or the scheme may be contributory i.e. the members may also contribute.

§ ELIGIBILITY: The member should not be absent on ground of sickness on the entry date. For all non-employer-employee Group Schemes the basic insurability condition is that the member should be in good health on the date of entry.
