Eligibility – Who is the IndiaFirst Group Term Plan for?

This plan is designed to meet the expectations of different groups, subject to them satisfying a few basic criteria.

Sum Assured and Premium Range – What you get and what it costs

Sum Assured – The plan provides protection to members of the group, with the amount determined by taking the premium into consideration. While the minimum cover is Rs.5,000 per member, the master policyholder can choose to increase this to a maximum of Rs.5 crore per member, based on the organisation’s requirements.

Premium Range – The premium amount determines the cover provided to members. The master policyholder should ensure that the premium amount is in line with the budget of the organisation. While some master policyholders pay the amount through a separate budgetary allocation, certain others might ask members to contribute to the premium. The premium can be paid either every month, each year, or every six months.

*The premium varies based on the age of policyholder, sum assured, location, etc. With the implementation of GST the price of purchasing a policy has increased. Please check all rates at the time of purchase.

Exclusions – What the IndiaFirst Group Term Plan does not cover

This exclusion applies only to individuals who have not been a member previously. In case any other member commits suicide, the insurer will pay a certain amount as sum assured.

Other Key Features

Tax Benefits – How you can save with the IndiaFirst Group Term Plan

The IndiaFirst Group Term Plan provides tax benefits not just to the master policyholder, but also to the members of the group. In case the entire premium is paid by the master policyholder without any contribution from the members, he/she can avail benefits under Section 37(1) of the Income Tax Act. The entire amount paid by him/her qualifies for deduction.

In case members of the group make a contribution to the premium, the master policyholder cannot avail any tax benefits. Members, however, are eligible for benefits under Section 80C of the Act.

The amount received as a death benefit is free from tax, as per provisions under Section 10(10D) of the Act.

Note that the tax laws can change from time to time. It is recommended to consult a tax expert in order to utilise all the benefits provided by the government.
