Surprised!

Only a few know about this facility but most Indian citizens are unaware of it. Even banks do not tell us about this free facility that comes with owning a debit card.

How to Claim free accidental Insurance Cover on Debit/Credit Card?

The moment the bank issues you ATM, your claim for the accidental and life insurance cover starts from that moment.

Bank provides you insurance cover ranges from Rs.50,000 to Rs. 10 Lakhs.

Conditions to Claim Free Insurance Cover-

1. In case of an accident, you can claim your insurance cover by providing documents of your medicals and FIR report copy to the bank.
2. In case of death, a nominee of the cardholders has to provide a copy of the death certificate to the bank, to claim insurance money.

Important Point-

But before claiming insurance money on your debit or credit cards, it is a must that cardholders should have performed at least one purchase from that card 90 days before the accident.

If you have more than two debit or credit cards, you can avail the benefit of insurance money only from one card. Banks provide insurance claims only on one card to the cardholders.
