Life Insurance for Senior Citizens (60+) Patients
Specialized insurance for people above 60 years. Higher sum insured, PED cover, co-payment options, and dedicated senior citizen health plans.
Having Senior Citizens (60+) doesn't mean you can't get Life Insurance. IRDAI guidelines ensure that insurance companies cannot outright reject your application based on a pre-existing condition. However, there are important considerations:
- Waiting Period: Pre-existing conditions like Senior Citizens (60+) typically have a 24-48 month waiting period before coverage begins
- Premium Loading: Some insurers may charge 10-30% extra premium based on your condition severity
- Day 1 PED Cover: Select plans now offer coverage from Day 1 — no waiting period for pre-existing conditions
- Mandatory Disclosure: Always declare Senior Citizens (60+) — non-disclosure can lead to claim rejection
