Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Everyone wants the best coverage while opting for insurance plans. But the sum assured and the features should not be the only parameters to analyse a plan. When analysed on the parameter of cost and value, group insurance plans are the ideal option. They are more affordable as compared to individual plans. When a large pool of people is insured under a single plan, the total risk comes down for the insurance company. The healthy people in the group essentially offset the risks of unhealthy people. In India, generally, employers pay for the premiums of group insurance plans. In cases where the employers don’t pay the complete premium, they subsidise the plan with partial payments. Companies receive a host of tax incentives to provide insurance benefits to their employees, which makes it more likely that your company will cover you under a group insurance policy.

While employees of companies can easily get covered under group insurance plans. Don’t fret if you are not part of a company. The good part about group insurance schemes is that they are not limited just to companies and their employees. You can avail the benefits of group insurance plans by being part of other organisations such as self-help groups, associations and housing societies. You can also be an employer to buy group insurance policies. In case you are a self-employed individual, there are registered groupings such as doctor’s association or actors’ guild that can enrol for group insurance plans.

Another factor that tilts the scales in favour of group insurance plan is the quantum of coverage required to lead a secure life. You should objectively analyse the quantum of coverage required depending on your income and dependents. Even though individual plans provide comprehensive coverage, sometimes only a basic cover is required.

Companies prefer group insurance plans for a variety of reasons. Group insurance policies are extremely cheap when compared to offering individual policies to a large number of people. The structure of a group insurance plan is simple, which saves the companies a lot of effort and man hours. Group insurance policies do not require heavy documentation or medical examinations of each member, making it a simple and hassle-free product. More importantly, group life insurance plans are used as an incentive for employees. With the assurance that their family would be secure even in their absence, employees tend to be more productive. It acts as a stress buster and a tool of motivation. Group insurance policies for corporates can also be easily modified, which makes it easier for companies to increase or decrease the sum assured for employees depending on their performance. Companies also receive a host of tax benefits for offering insurance cover to their employees.

Group life insurance policy is an insurance plan that covers members of an organisation or group under a single policy. A group life insurance policy covers all the members of the group against death and could extend coverage against terminal illness, accidental death or disability. Group life insurance policies are an affordable way to extend insurance benefits to all the members of an organisation or association.

Group life insurance policies offer a variety of advantages. Employers, as well as employees, can reap equal benefits from group life insurance plans. Some of the advantages of group life insurance plans are:

  • The cost of insurance is low when compared to individual insurance plans.
  • The terms and conditions of group insurance plans are flexible and generally do not require extensive medical check-ups for new members.
  • The claim process is easy and simple.
  • Acts as an incentive for employees and creates a positive work environment.
  • Employers receive tax benefits for providing life insurance coverage to employees.

There are two main types of group life insurance policies—contributory and non-contributory. In a contributory policy, the premium of the policy is paid by the employer as well as the employee. On the opposite, in a non-contributory policy, the premium is entirely paid by the employer or the nodal agency. Some examples of eligible groups are employer-employee groups, creditor-debtor groups and professional groups.

Different group insurance schemes are suitable for different organisations with varying needs. For instance, the Group Traditional Benefit Plan and Corporate Group Term Plan are the best choices for employer-employee groups, while the Group Secure Plan and Group Asset Secure could be suitable for debtor-borrower groups.

The biggest advantage that group plans have over individual plans is the low cost. Most employers buy group plans for a large number of people, which reduces the per-unit cost. In case the employee seeks additional coverage, it can be deducted from his/her salary. The other advantage that group plans provide is the existence of pre-existing diseases or lifestyle habits. Members do not have to participate in a medical examination before taking group insurance up to a certain limit, but medical examination is compulsory for individual insurance. The age, pre-existing diseases and lifestyle habits can increase the premium of individual policies, but these factors do not have an effect on group insurance policies. Group insurance schemes also provide life insurance benefits just by the virtue of an individual being part of a group, but individual policies have to be bought after a screening process.

Group health insurance can be taken by members of professional associations, housing societies, business groups, financial institutions and other companies. The group should have a minimum number of people prescribed by the insurer.
