It gives the following benefits under one policy:

• Flexible benefit limit to choose from.
• Flexible premium payment options.
• Valuable financial protection in case of hospitalisation, surgery et al.
• Lump-sum benefit irrespective of actual medical costs.
• Auto step-up benefit and no claim benefit.
• If more than one member is covered under a policy, a premium waiver for other insured(s) in case of unfortunate death of the original principal insured i.e. the policyholder at the inception of the policy.
• Premium waiver benefit for one year in the event of any insured undergoing surgery falling under Category I or Category II for certain major surgical benefits.
