What are riders in insurance?

Cost-effective riders help further enhance coverage and widen the protection net. Our term plan offers riders like the critical illness rider6 and accidental death benefit+ rider for your and your family’s extra safety.

What is the accidental death benefit+ rider and its utility?

An accidental death benefit rider+ with ICICI Pru iProtect Smart gives the nominee' a higher payout in case of demise of the policyholder due to an accident. For example, if the policyholder has a life cover4 of ₹1 Crore and opts for the accidental death benefit+ rider, the nominee can get a claim amount up to ₹2 Crore in case of an eventuality due to an accident.

Can multiple nominees be added for the same policy?

Nomination is a must in insurance. Yes, multiple nominees can be added to the same policy. When there is more than one nominee for the same policy, the nominees get the money jointly. In case of the death of one nominee, the survivor(s) gets the money. If there is more than one dependent, it makes sense to add multiple nominees.

Does a smoker need to pay higher premiums? If so, why?

Does one get the claim payout in case of a terminal illness'?
