The USP of the SBI Group Term Insurance is an affordable group term life insurance product designed to cater to different group categories, broadly classified as formal and informal. The formal group reinforces the Employer-Employee (EE) bond. In contrast, the informal group covers several classes like credit groups, affinity groups, bank depositors, professional groups, social groups, rural groups, etc., broadly clubbed as the Non-Employer-Employee (NEE) group.
It is already understood that there are broadly two group categories – The EE and the NEE. In the former, the primary requirement is that the employee must be on the company’s permanent payroll seeking to purchase the SBI Group Term Insurance. The NEE, on the other hand, has a common thread binding them. Based on these two principal themes, the eligibility criteria defined in the SBI Group Term Insurance are:
