term plan with critical illness rider for self-employed individuals 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

Self-employed individuals benefit significantly from term plans with critical illness (CI) riders, as they lack employer-provided health benefits. Plans like ICICI Prudential iProtect Smart, Max Life Smart Secure Plus, and Bajaj Allianz eTouch offer CI riders covering 34–64 critical illnesses including cancer, heart attack, and stroke. The CI rider pays a lump sum on diagnosis, helping replace lost income during recovery. For self-employed buyers, ensure the CI cover amount is sufficient to cover at least 1–2 years of business expenses and personal income. Underwriting may require income proof; ITR filings for the last 2–3 years are typically needed.
