term plan with critical illness rider and accidental death benefit India: what buyers discover

See which brands AI assistants put in front of buyers and why those answers are chosen.

The AI answer we saw

Several term insurance plans in India offer both critical illness (CI) rider and accidental death benefit (ADB) as add-ons. Notable options include ICICI Prudential iProtect Smart (covers 34 critical illnesses + ADB), HDFC Life Click 2 Protect Super, Max Life Smart Secure Plus, and Tata AIA Sampoorna Raksha Supreme. The CI rider provides a lump sum payout on diagnosis of listed illnesses (e.g., cancer, heart attack, stroke), while ADB pays an additional sum on accidental death. Adding both riders typically increases the base premium by 10–25%. Ensure you review the list of covered critical illnesses and exclusion clauses before selecting a plan.
