Group Insurance

Chandan
Meaning..
 Group insurance offers life insurance protection
under group policies to various groups such as
employers-employees, professionals, co-
operatives, weaker sections of society, etc. It also
provides insurance coverage for people in certain
approved occupations at the lowest possible
premium cost.
 Group insurance plans have low premiums. Such
plans are particularly beneficial to those for whom
other regular policies are a costlier proposition.
Group insurance plans extend cover to large
segments of the population including those who
cannot afford individual insurance.
A number of group insurance schemes have been
designed for various groups. These include
employer-employee groups, associations of
professionals (such as doctors, lawyers, chartered
accountants etc.), members of cooperative banks,
welfare funds, credit societies and weaker sections
of society.
 Many employees see group insurance coverage as
a major perk for faithful company service. The
premium payments are usually deducted
automatically from the pay itself. Some companies
will absorb the entire cost of the policy as a benefit
for employees. The main advantages of the group
insurance schemes are low premium and simple
insurability conditions. Premiums are based upon
age combination of members, occupation and
working conditions of the group.
A major feature of group insurance is that the
premium cost on an individual basis may not be
risk-based. Instead it is the same amount for all the
insured persons in the group. Another distinctive
feature is that under group insurance a person will
normally remain covered as long as he or she
continues to work for a certain employer and pays
their insurance premiums. This is different from
the individual insurance policy where the
insurance company often has the right to reject the
renewal of a person's policy, depending on his risk
profile.
