Jun 05 , 2017, New Delhi: Aviva Life Insurance, one of India’s leading private insurance companies, today announced the launch of ‘Aviva i-Life Total’ - an online term plan with a range of options to choose from. This tailor-made plan keeps the customer at the heart and enables the customer to select a solution that fits his/her specific needs.
Aviva i-Life Total is a distinctive online insurance plan that provides the option of Additional Benefits built into the product. The customer can customize his plan according to his distinct needs in the same price as the simple Term Insurance plan.
The 4 options enable the customer to secure his loved ones in case of a terminal illness, accidental death, benefit at maturity or monthly income in case of death. Each of these options can be enhanced by adding a Critical Illness and Disability Rider that covers 16 critical illnesses and permanent total disability (due to illness or accident). This product takes care of the different risks associated with critical illness, accidents or disability at a nominal cost.
Commenting on the launch, Ms. Anjali Malhotra, Chief Customer Marketing and Digital Officer, Aviva Life Insurance said, “Research shows that India is a grossly underinsured market. Though the ideal term insurance for an individual has to be 10 times his/her earning capacity, there is a massive gap here. As per WHO Global Health Expenditure report, in India, 85.9% of all private health expenditure was paid out of pocket by individuals, and 31% of all hospitalisations in urban areas are financed by loans or sale of assets. Thus, it becomes imperative for customers to not just buy a plain Term Insurance Plan, but to get a truly differentiated Term Insurance Plan – a plan that presents them with additional benefits to take care of unforeseen expenditures. ‘Aviva i-Life Total’ gives you the control to acquire and access your insurance policy online, while meeting your specific requirements to secure the life goals of your loved ones.”
The exclusive feature of ‘Aviva i-Life Total’ is that customers can choose their insurance cover from– Protect, Protect Plus, Protect Assured, and Protect Income Options– with additional protection against critical illness and permanent total disability through an optional rider, along with option to increase the amount of cover, when responsibilities increase.
