Life Insurance with Post Office (Schemes and features)

Life insurance with post offices started in 1881 as a welfare scheme for the advantage of postal employees. It is the oldest life insurer in this country and the first one in the country to cover female lives. Yet, a lot of people don’t consider the post office for a life insurance policy and remain unaware of the benefits and features of this plan.

You must also illuminate yourself with the plethora of benefits that a life insurance plan can extend to yourself as well as your family. This article aims to explore life insurance policies from the post office and their features.

Features of Post Office Life Insurance

1.) Policy revival scheme

A policyholder can revive a lapsed policy after 6 successive non-payments of premium if the policy is in effect for less than 3 years. A lapsed policy that is less than 3 years old can be revived even after 12 successive non-payment of premium.

There is a provision to issue a duplicate document if the original document is lost by the policyholder or is damaged in some way.
