Accidental death and disability are very common possibilities in today’s fast-paced life. Both of these contingencies result in substantial financial loss and so LIC offers an Accidental Death and Disability Benefit Rider which covers these two contingencies. The rider pays a benefit in case of accidental death or disability suffered by the insured during the term of the policy. Here are the salient features of the rider –
In case of accidental deathIf the insured dies due to an accident during the policy tenure, the rider sum assured would be paid along with the death benefit of the base policy
In case of disability If the insured suffers from a total and permanent disability due to an accident, the following benefits would be paid –
Total and permanent disability would be said to occur if the insured is unable to perform any four of the following tasks of daily life –
For both these benefits to be payable, the accident should be ‘a sudden, unforeseen and involuntary event caused by external, violent and visible means’ and death or disability should occur within 180 days of such accident.
Death or disability suffered due to the following instances would not be covered by the rider and no rider benefits would be paid in such situations –
The rider, independently, has no paid-up value or surrender value. However, if the base policy, to which the rider is attached, is surrendered, the rider premium charged for continuing the cover would be refunded. Refund would be allowed if the base policy was not a regular premium policy and according to the following calculations –
Under Section 80C of the Income Tax Act, the premiums that are paid towards the rider are tax deductible up to INR 1.5 lakhs and the death benefit that is received is fully tax-exempted under Section 10 (10D).
In the event of a claim under the rider, the following documents should be submitted to receive the claim amount quickly and conveniently.
In case of accidents due to other causes where police FIR is not required, eye witness report, attending physician’s report, affidavit of gram sevak or Government officials, etc. might be required
