Re: Guidelines on Standard Individual Health Insurance Product
1. Attention is drawn to Clause 7 of Section C of Guidelines on Standard Individual Health Insurance Product (Ref: IRDAI/HLT/REG/CIR/001/01/2020 dated 01.01.2020) wherein General and Health insurers are allowed to offer Sum Insured options ranging from minimum Rs.1,00,000/- to maximum of Rs.5,00,000/- (in the multiples of 50,000/-) for “Arogya Sanjeevani Policy”.
2. Whereas the standard policy is required to be offered by all General and Health insurers for sum insured between Rs.1 lakh and Rs.5 lakhs, to further facilitate the general public, insurers are hereby allowed to offer minimum sum insured less than Rs.1,00,000/- and maximum sum insured greater than Rs.5,00,000/- subject to the underwriting policy of the Insurers.The Sum insured options shall be offered in the multiples of Rs. 50,000/-(fifty thousand) only.

The use of the name “Arogya Sanjeevani” and the “Use and File” procedure are permitted only if the standard terms and conditions of “Arogya Sanjeevani’ product are followed.
5. This will come into force with immediate effect.
