A simple guide to Personal Accident Cover — the smallest policy with the biggest impact.

A Story Every Indian Family Can Relate To

Ravi was like millions of Indians — the only earning member in his home, riding his two-wheeler every day, doing everything he could for his family.

One evening, he didn’t return home on time.

His wife kept calling.
No answer.
Her worry grew with every minute.

At 8:15 PM, the phone finally rang:

“Madam… there has been an accident.”

Everything changed in that moment.

But a week later, she discovered something Ravi had quietly purchased years ago — a small Personal Accident policy.

It wasn’t expensive.
It wasn’t complicated.
But in her darkest moment, it became the biggest support she had.

This is the safety net missing in most Indian households — until life teaches them its importance.

What Exactly Is Personal Accident Cover? (In Simple Words)

It is an insurance policy that pays money if a person faces an accident that causes:

• Accidental death

• Permanent disability

• Partial disability

• Temporary income loss (in some plans)

This payout goes directly to the family or the insured person.

People often confuse it with:

• Health Insurance → covers hospital bills

• Life Insurance → covers death from many causes

But Personal Accident Insurance is laser-focused:

It pays ONLY for accident-related death or disability.

And that is why it is simple, affordable, and powerful.

Why This Cover Matters So Much in India

1. India is a Two-Wheeler Country

Millions ride daily. Accident risk is high.

2. Most Families Depend on One Earning Member

If that income stops, family life gets disrupted instantly.

3. Accidents Are Financially Draining

Hospital bills + recovery time + loss of income = heavy pressure.

4. A Small Policy Protects Against the Biggest Risks

Low premium. High impact. Peace of mind.

What Does Personal Accident Insurance Cover?

Accidental Death

Family receives the full benefit amount.

Permanent Total Disability

For example:

• Loss of eyesight

• Loss of both limbs

• Complete inability to work

This ensures long-term financial stability.

Permanent Partial Disability

Examples:

• Loss of a finger

• Loss of one limb

• Reduced mobility

Payout depends on severity.

Temporary Disability (in many plans)

Weekly income support if you cannot work for weeks or months.

This is the protection most people don’t realise they need — until it’s too late.

Common Misunderstandings About Accident Insurance

“Health insurance is enough.”

No. It does not replace income or provide disability payouts.

“Life insurance will take care of everything.”

Life insurance does NOT cover disability benefits.

“It must be expensive.”

This is one of the lowest-cost protections available.

“Accidents won’t happen to me.”

Everyone who faces an accident once believed the same.
