Boost Your Coverage, Not Your Budget with Bajaj Allianz Life’s Critical Illness Benefit Rider

Bengaluru, 29 January, 2025: Bajaj Allianz Life, one of India’s leading private life insurers, has launched Bajaj Allianz Life New Critical Illness Benefit Rider, a non-linked, non-participating, individual, pure risk health rider, covering up to 60 major critical illness (CI) conditions. It is a smart add-on designed to strengthen financial protection against major health setbacks, ensuring customers’ savings stay intact during a medical crisis. Customers can avail the rider with the Company’s flagship term plan Bajaj Allianz Life e-Touch II.

Designed to bridge gaps in healthcare costs, Bajaj Allianz Life’s new Critical Illness Benefit Rider provides critical financial support across different customer needs. For those without Mediclaim, it acts as a financial cushion, preventing savings from being depleted during a medical emergency. For those with a basic Mediclaim cover (e.g., ₹5 lakh), it helps bridge the gap between policy limits and actual treatment costs, which can often exceed coverage. Even for those with a higher Mediclaim cover (e.g., ₹50 lakh), this rider ensures financial stability by covering loss of income and protecting one’s lifestyle, making it a vital addition to a well-rounded financial plan.

Tarun Chugh, MD & CEO, Bajaj Allianz Life said, “adding the Critical Illness Rider to your policy is like a booster shot for your financial health—an extra layer of protection against life’s medical uncertainties. A serious illness can bring unexpected expenses forcing you to dip into your savings and potentially disrupting your long-term financial plans. This rider ensures that doesn’t happen. With an affordable yet powerful safeguard, Bajaj Allianz Life helps you stay financially secure and focused on your life goals”.

Key features of Bajaj Allianz Life New Critical Illness Benefit Rider:

Broad Coverage: With a minimum age of 18 years to maximum of 80 years, one can get protection against a wide range of critical illnesses including cancer, heart attack, stroke, and more.

Flexible Options: Choose from three rider options like Critical (10 major CIs), Enhanced (25 major CIs), and Comprehensive (60 major CIs) tailored to individual needs.

Through these critical illness riders, Bajaj Allianz Life is looking to give policyholders more control over their financial security.
