This is a complete personal accident policy and is recommended. Accidental medical expenses cover is useful only if you are not covered under a basic health insurance policy. However, a basic health insurance policy is essential and personal accident policy acts as an add on to widen the overall insurance cover.

Apart from death, it offers disability benefit that pays a percentage of sum insured depending on nature of disability caused due to an accident. The policy also offers to cover accidental hospitalisation expenses on payment of extra premium.
The premium to be paid will depend on the risk on individual’s life. There are three risk classes Normal, Medium and Heavy risk classified on the basis of nature of occupation performed by the person. Heavy risk life has to pay the highest premium.
