IDBI Federal Loansurance Group Insurance Plan SP

This is a non-linked, non-participating group insurance plan that is specially designed for lenders like a bank, lending institution, or any other financial institution. All lending institutions help their customers financially and help them educate their child, build a new house, or set-up a new business. Without the capital given by these lending institutions, many of us would have suffered financially. Apart from lending the money required, lending institutions these days are taking an extra step and help their borrowers insure the liability. By insuring the liability of their borrowers, they help eradicate the financial burden that a family will have to bear in case of the sudden demise of the insured person. Please note that this plan is available for lenders that are regulated by the National Housing Bank, Non-Banking Financial Companies, and The Reserve Bank of India.
