Overview
The Kotak Credit Term Group Plan is a group life insurance plan aimed at credit institutions such as banks, retail financing companies etc. to cover groups of borrowers so that institutions can offset the risk of default in the unfortunate case of a borrower’s death. The plan will also help the borrower’s family by relieving them of the financial burden of a loan. This is a cost effective plan that will help lenders to competitively price their products on the back of greater financial security. The medical examination norms are relaxed in some cases while the non-medical cover limit varies as per the loan tenure, age of borrower and loan type. The plan is offered by Kotak Life Insurance.
