GROUP PERSONAL ACCIDENT

BASIC

This product has been developed to provide economical coverage to participants. Under this cover if any person covered dies due to accidental means within ninety (90) days of such accident and sustained injuries are solely and independently caused by external, violent and purely accidental means, compensation will be paid to the Participant for benefit of his/her beneficiaries.
