Birla Sun Life Insurance Company Ltd., a subsidiary of Aditya Birla Nuvo Ltd. one of India’s leading life insurance companies, has introduced two new variants to its recently launched ‘Bachat Plan’. The launch of BSLI Bachat (Moneyback) plan and BSLI Bachat (Child) Plan closely follows the launch of Bachat (Endowment) plan in May this year.
The BSLI Bachat Plans enable customers to build a corpus through a regular and systematic savings approach for various life needs. The recently launched BSLI Bachat (Moneyback) Plan offers the same advantage along with payouts at regular intervals. On the other hand, BSLI Bachat (Child) Plan will enable parents to provide for and protect the child’s future through regular savings.
Commenting on the launch, Mr. Fabien Jeudy, Chief Actuarial Officer, Birla Sun Life Insurance said “Our research shows that there is an increased demand for products on the traditional platform that will help consumers save for their long term goals through regular and affordable premiums. Keeping this consumer need in mind we had introduced BSLI Bachat (Endowment) plan for customers who are focused on a lump-sum amount at maturity.” He further adds “This product was very well received by consumers and contributed over 10% of the total sales in the first quarter. This overwhelming response encouraged us to extend this offering for customers who are focused on regular payouts and saving for their child. We are hoping that BSLI Bachat (Money back) and BSLI Bachat (Child) Plan will address these consumer needs effectively”.
