Airtel Offering Insurance Cover With Its Rs. 599 Tariff Plan

Airtel has introduced a new prepaid plan for its prepaid customers. The newly launched plan comes with inbuilt insurance cover worth Rs. 400,000. The company has also partnered with Bharti AXA Life Insurance for the same.

The Rs. 599 prepaid plan will also offer 2GB of 4G data per day, unlimited calls, along with 100 SMS per day. The new plan is available for 84 days and the insurance cover continues automatically for three months with every recharge.

How to Get Rs. 400,000 Insurance Cover from Airtel?

Step 1: First, a customer needs to enroll for the insurance, after the first recharge through SMS, Airtel Thanks App or any Airtel retailer.

Step 2: Then, a physical copy of the insurance will be delivered to the customer.

However, this offer is only available to customers, aged 18-54 years. Currently, this plan is only available in Tamil Nadu and Pondicherry. With this plan, Airtel is focusing on providing life insurance to uninsured people. But, we believe that the company should offer this plan to all its customers, rather than targeting one set of society. On the other hand, the telecom operator is operating in 22 circles, so it should extend this service to other circles as soon as possible.

Airtel Payments Bank Introduces Bharosa Savings Account
