Airtel Rs 599 Prepaid Recharge Offers 2GB Daily Data for 84 Days and Rs 4 Lakh Insurance

As per the IRDAI, the insurance penetration in India is less than 4% (of the population) while mobile penetration is close to 90%. It is estimated that India will have close to 830 million smartphone users by 2022, so Airtel is looking for the deep distribution reach with its prepaid plans.

Furthermore, Airtel says it has engineered the entire insurance process to be delivered digitally in a matter of a few minutes. A customer needs to enrol for the insurance after the first recharge through SMS, Airtel Thanks App or the Airtel Retailer. The life insurance cover, which is available to all customers aged 18-54 years, requires no paperwork or medical examination and the certificate of insurance will be instantly or it will be delivered digitally. A physical copy of the insurance will be delivered to the customer’s doorstep on request.

The product is currently available to customers across Tamil Nadu and Pondicherry and its availability will be gradually extended to pan-India in the next few months.

Manoj Murali, CEO – Kerala and Tamil Nadu, Bharti Airtel, said “Airtel has empowered millions of customers across Tamil Nadu and Pondicherry with world-class telecom connectivity. We believe our network is a great platform to digitally deliver a range of services and solve the problems of customers. We are delighted to partner with Bharti AXA Life Insurance to roll out this innovative offering and remove the barriers of price, access and payment inconveniences for the adoption of life insurance in India. We remain committed to building a digitally enabled and financially secure Tamil Nadu.”

As mentioned above, Airtel already has Rs 499 prepaid plan that ships with 2GB daily data for 82 days, but the new plan offers Rs 4 lakh insurance cover at no extra cost to the customers.
