Protection. On Your Terms.

ING Vysya Life's Group Term Life Insurance Plan is a special way to safeguard your employees' interests. It enables you to comprehensively safeguard your employees in case of the unfortunate death of an employee due to any reason, by providing timely and hassle free relief. It provides the essential life cover for all the members you wish to include in the group.

Death Benefit

This acts as a lifeline for the family of an insured member in case something unfortunate were to happen to him. The beneficiaries will receive a fixed Sum Assured which will act as their financial protection in their time of need.

Additional Accidental Death Benefit

To further protect your employees against a life full of uncertainties, the plan allows you to add this extra shield. So, in case the death of an insured member occurs due to accident, his beneficiaries receive an additional Sum Assured as per the contract.

The maximum additional accidental death benefit can go up to as much as Rs.20,00,000.

Exclusions for Additional Accidental Death Benefit

Any disease or infection

The Cover Continues
Leaving a job doesn't mean the end of being protected. This plan comes with a convenient continuation option.An employee can choose to maintain the cover after resignation or retirement. This is done by simply effecting an individual insurance policy, without further medical evidence. The facility can be availed by meeting certain basic conditions.

Share Concern. Share Profit
While you have your employee's best interests at heart, we have yours. This is the reason why we share part of the mortality experience profits with you, if the scheme experience is favourable. The extent of such profit sharing depends on the size of your member group. This share is adjusted against the next premium.
