SBI Life Insurance Ltd. is a life insurance company registered
under the companies act with an authorized capital of Rs.250
crores. The head office is at Mumbai. It is a joint venture
between State Bank of India and Cardif S.A. of France.
Under the aegis of this company, we have formulated a Group
Insurance scheme called Super Suraksha. The scheme provides
life insurance cover to groups of people who share a common
identity, such as the members of an institution.
The Super Suraksha is available for:
• Customers of SBH branches other than Agricultural Development
Branches (ADBs) who maintain deposit or borrowal accounts singly
or jointly
• Account holders at ADBs
• Housing loan borrowers of SBH
Account holders of SBH branches
Under the Super Suraksha scheme, account holders are offered
group insurance cover against the risk of death due to any cause.
The applicants should have a running account in which debits
for recovering the premium are permissible and can be raised
in ordinary conduct of the account.
The scheme is open to all account holders who are between 18
and 58 years of age.
To constitute a group, a minimum of 100 customers have to be
members. We categorize groups as Group –I and Group –II
depending on the age of the members, such as:
Group –I : Account holders in the age group of 18 to 39
years
Group –II : Account holders in the age group of 40 to
58 years
We levy administration charges of Rs.72/- for Group –I
and Rs.96 for Group –II customers.
The amount of premium for a sum assured
of Rs.1 lakh is:
Group –I: Rs.360/- p.a.
Group –II: Rs.600/- p.a.
Sum Assured
In the event of death of an insured customer due to any cause,
the nominee is paid the sum assured. In the event of death of
an insured customer due to an accident, the nominee is paid
twice the sum assured, Rs.2 lakhs.
The amount of premium should be paid annually in advance. The
insurance cover is renewable annually. The amount of premium
can be debited to the account on obtaining a consent letter
from the account holder. The premium account can also be debited
to the borrowal account also upon the option of the customer.
Joining the Scheme
You need to sign a consent letter declaring your date of birth.
You need to also submit a declaration that you are in good health
and not suffering from any serious illness.
In the event of a death, the nominee needs to submit a claim
form, which will be attested by the branch. SBI Life will then
send the settlement cheque to the branch.
The annual premium payment date would be the first day of
the month in which the Master Policy is issued. SBH’s
Shantinagar branch was the first branch to cover the first
100 accounts and the Master Policy of SBH was issued in this
branch’s name. The Master Policy number is 82001002208
with effect from August 2002. All customers who join the scheme
after August 2002 would need to pay the premium on a prorated
basis up to July 2003. The annual renewal date will be 1st
August.
The premium recovered from the customers is credited to a
non-operative collection account in the name of SBI Life Collection
account. For each member, the date of credit is the start
date for the insurance cover. At the end of each month, the
balance in this account is remitted to SBI Life Consolidated
Collection account, Current A/c No. 8024491 maintained at
SBH’s Gunfoundry branch under advise to P&SB Department,
H.O. enclosing therewith the statement showing the details
of the account holders such as name, age, sum assured, and
address. The SBI Life Consolidated collection account is debited
monthly and the outstanding amount is sent to SBI Life through
a Demand Draft by the P&SB Department, H.O. with the details
of the accounts debited.

Housing Loan Borrowers (vide circular No. DEP/2002-03/12 dated
18.11.02)
The Super Suraksha scheme is available
to all housing loan borrowers, both existing and new borrowers,
in the age group of 20 - 60 years. In the event of death of
the borrower, surviving members of the deceased’s family
are not burdened by the repayment of the loan.
Under this scheme, you need to make only
a one-time payment. You can even avail finance for the premium
payable by debiting the premium amount to the existing housing
loan account. The EMI is adjusted accordingly. Life insurance
cover is available until the housing loan is liquidated or
until the final EMI date according to the agreed repayment
schedule, until the borrower’s 70th birth day, or until
the death of the insured borrower, whichever is earlier.
Insurance cover is not available for death
due to reasons other than an accident during the first 45
days and death due to suicide or self inflicted injuries during
the first 12 months. The premium amount depends upon the loan
amount, the age of the borrower, and the repayment period.
For example, for a borrower who is 35 years old, with a principal
loan of Rs.1 lakh for a period of 10 years, the total premium
amount payable would be Rs.1365/-.
Joining the Scheme
For loans up to Rs.5 lakhs, the borrower
needs to sign the consent-cum-authorization letter with a
health declaration.
For loan amounts ranging between Rs.5 lakhs
and Rs.7.50 lakhs, the borrower needs to fill up and submit
to SBI Life a questionnaire for acceptance to this scheme.
For loan amounts above Rs.7.50 lakhs, the
borrower needs to undergo a medical examination by a doctor
or clinic as authorized by SBI Life.
At the end of each quarter, SBH levies
administration charges of 20% of the premium amount, subject
to a maximum of Rs.500/- for every 1 lakh of loan amount.
Collection and Remittance of the premium
amount
The branch sends the premium amount
recovered from the borrower through a bank draft in the name
of SBI Life Insurance Co. Ltd., Mumbai along with a statement
of particulars of the borrower as per Annexure X. A copy of
the statement is sent to our P&SB department. The remittance
is made immediately after the premium is recovered.
