When will Critical Illness Benefit be paid?
Only when the Life Insured is admitted to ICU or HDU for at least 24 hours post diagnosis of COVID-19 for management of severe Covid-19 disease.

No. Critical Illness Benefit will be paid only for management of severe Covid-19 disease.
If post diagnosis of COVID-19, ICU is established at home, will we provide Critical Illness Benefit?
This doesn’t meet the definition of ICU/HDU as mentioned in T&C and hence, Critical Illness Benefit shouldn’t be paid.

What are the tax benefits¹ under this plan – 80C or 80D?
Benefit under section 80C shall be the applicable tax benefit¹ as this is a term product. However, in case sum assured for Pre-COVID death is considered applicable, then 80C benefit shall be restricted to 10% of sum assured or actual premium, whichever is less.
