Bajaj Allianz Group Term Life Insurance Policy

Bajaj Allianz Group Term Life Insurance Plan

Bajaj Allianz Life Group Term Life is a non-participating, life, group, pure risk premium product. Any Employer Employee groups and Non-Employer Employee groups can set up the scheme. The purpose of setting up such a scheme is to provide the family members of the insured person with a sense of security in an increasingly uncertain world. The benefit is valuable because the amount available to the member’s family in the form of Gratuity, PF accumulation, or Pension, in case of premature death, is often small. The Bajaj Allianz Life Group Term Life insurance cover balances the loss to some extent and gives the member a sense of security. This scheme offers a unique opportunity to provide adequate relief at a very low cost to the family of a member in the event of his/ her premature demise.
