"We launched Cancer Care plan on May 18 and have sold around 35,000 policies by now. We have a target to sell two lakh Cancer Care policies in this fiscal," HDFC Life Vice-President (Products) Sujoy Manna told reporters here.
HDFC Life is the first private company to come out with such a policy for a disease which is rising at an alarming rate in India, he said.
According to the company, Cancer Care offers lumpsum benefit on diagnosis of the disease that helps to protect a customer's income and savings from expenses that aren't covered by major medical plans.
