Key Questions Answered

What are the long-term financial implications of choosing a micro-insurance policy over a traditional life insurance plan?

Micro-insurance policies offer coverage even if premiums are not paid[1], unlike traditional life insurance where non-payment leads to policy lapse[1].

Are there any specific conditions or exclusions that could impact the auto-cover feature's activation or duration?

The auto-cover feature's duration depends on premium payment history. After 3-5 years of premium payments, auto-cover lasts six months from the missed premium date[1].
