Group Term Life Insurance

Overview

Every individual wants to ensure that his loved ones do not face any financial hardships due to any eventualities in life. This is where a financial backing seems necessary. Term life insurance plans like the Group Term Life Insurance plan are the perfect financial back-up that one can avail to ensure complete financial protection of their loved ones.   

What is Group Term Life Insurance?

A group term life insurance is nothing, but an insurance coverage provided to a group of people or anyone who is a part of the community. It offers financial independence to the insured individual’s beneficiaries. A group term life insurance plan is not just inexpensive compared to individual term plans, but also comes with a whole lot of other term insurance benefits, making the plan a perfect fit for your needs.

Apart from being available for a community, group term insurance is one of the employee benefits offered by companies to their employees. Under this group term insurance policy, a lump sum death benefit is paid to the family of the insured in the unfortunate event of his death.

Family/nominee should contact Finserv MARKETS who will work with Bajaj Allianz for speedy claims processing. The claim can be raised within 30 days after the requisite documents are ready with Finserv MARKETS, from where the claim request can be taken after checking the documents and the same will then be sent to the Insurance servicing department at TCS Bhosari – Centralized ops. Once Bajaj Allianz Life Insurance Corporation (BALIC) receives all the documents, the same will be processed within 30-60 working days of the timeframe to settle the claim.
