SBI Life e-Shield - Level Cover

Objective

This is an online pure term insurance cover that aims to provide financial security to your loved ones after you.

Our View

Online policies pass on the low cost benefit to applicants in the form of low premiums. Accidental benefit offered by this policy can be bought as an added cover but it cannot replace a standalone Accidental policy because standalone policy provides disability benefits as well. You may take this policy without Accidental Death Benefit option and buy a separate Accidental policy.

Suited for

A pure term policy is a definite buy for all. This policy is suitable for every applicant who is comfortable with buying insurance online.

What does it do?

This is a level cover policy in which the nominee will receive death benefit equal to sum assured on unfortunate death of the insured.
Applicant has an option to take an additional Accidental Death Benefit where the insurer will pay an extra sum over and above the basic sum assured, if death takes place due to an accident within 120 days of its occurrence. Accidental Death benefit will be equal to the basic sum assured upto maximum of Rs 50 lakh. The policy does not offer any surrender or maturity value if the insured survives the term.
