Saral Suraksha Bima
Saral Suraksha Bima is a health policy designed to provide a lump sum payout to you and your family in case of loss of life or permanent partial/total disablement resulting from an accident.
It covers a wide range of accidents, such as injuries from slips and falls, workplace mishaps and other unforeseen incidents. This plan is particularly suitable for breadwinners or those who contribute significantly to the family income and frequently travel for work.
The IndusInd Saral Suraksha Bima (previously known as Reliance Saral Suraksha Bima) policy provides a lump sum of up to ₹1 crore. This protection starts from day 1 of policy purchase. The policy also covers hospitalisation expenses (over 24 hours) due to an accident, including room rent, ICU stays, specialist fees, hospitalisation under AYUSH treatment, and more.
Overall, the IndusInd Saral Suraksha Bima ensures you and your family remain financially secure in the event of unforeseen accidents that could lead to a loss of income.
What is Saral Suraksha Bima?
Saral Suraksha Bima is a simple personal accident insurance policy that gives you a fixed lump-sum payout if you suffer death or disability due to an accident. It is designed to provide financial support to you or your family after serious accidental injuries, regardless of your income level or age. This policy is regulated by IRDAI and follows a standard structure across all insurers, making it easy to understand, compare, and trust.
Is Saral Suraksha Bima an IRDAI-standard policy?
Yes. Saral Suraksha Bima is a standard policy defined by IRDAI, which means all insurance companies in India must offer it with the same coverage, definitions, and benefits. The only differences between insurers are in claim service quality, digital convenience, and customer support, not in the core policy terms.
What does IndusInd Saral Suraksha Bima cover?
It provides financial protection against serious accident-related outcomes, including:
Accidental Death – Lump-sum payout to the nominee if the insured dies due to an accident
Permanent Total Disablement (PTD) – Full payout if an accident leads to total and permanent disability
Permanent Partial Disablement (PPD) – Proportionate payout if an accident causes partial permanent disability
How is Saral Suraksha different from regular health insurance?
Saral Suraksha Bima pays a fixed lump-sum amount after an accident, while health insurance reimburses or settles actual medical bills.
It covers accidents only, not illnesses, and works best as a supporting cover alongside mediclaim—helping with income loss, family expenses, and long-term financial stability after an accident.
Why Should You Buy IndusInd Saral Suraksha Bima?
Recent reports from Nifty 500 companies reported 10,733 workplace injuries in FY23, an 8.5% rise from the previous year. Such mishaps can lead to a loss of income, high medical costs and strained finances for the entire family, making financial support necessary. And that’s where the IndusInd Saral Suraksha Bima policy can help.
A health insurance plan covers for these unexpected medical expenses, ensuring you don't have to bear the financial burden. You can focus on getting the medical care you need without worrying about the cost. In simple terms, health insurance helps you to reduce or avoid a larger financial stress by paying a comparatively smaller premium.

Sum Insured & Premium Options in IndusInd Saral Suraksha Bima
Saral Suraksha Bima Sum Insured Range
From ₹2.5 Lakh Up To ₹1 Crore
IndusInd Saral Suraksha Bima allows you to choose a sum insured starting from ₹2.5 lakh up to ₹1 crore. This is the amount your family receives if an accident leads to death or permanent disability.
You can select the cover in small steps (in multiples of ₹50,000), making it easier to match the policy with your income, responsibilities, and lifestyle.
If you choose a family policy, each member gets their own individual sum insured, instead of sharing one common amount. This ensures that one claim does not reduce protection for others.
How Is the Premium for Saral Suraksha Bima Calculated?
Age of the Insured
Premiums are lower at younger ages and gradually increase as age rises, since the risk of serious injury and recovery time tends to be higher with age.
Sum Insured Chosen
A higher sum insured means a higher payout in case of an accident, which also results in a proportionately higher premium.
Optional Covers Selected
Adding benefits like temporary total disability (weekly income), accident hospitalisation or education grant increases the premium slightly.
Occupation Risk Category
Jobs with higher physical or travel risks (like drivers, construction workers) attract higher premiums than desk-based or low-risk occupations.

Examples to Understand the Saral Suraksha Bima Coverage
Example 1 – Individual Cover
Consider a 50-year-old individual choosing a ₹5 lakh cover under Saral Suraksha Bima.
If they also add optional benefits like accidental hospitalisation and an education grant, the premium increases slightly. However, online purchase discounts can reduce the final amount payable.
This shows how even a small annual premium can secure a meaningful payout for the family during an accident-related emergency.
Example 2 – Family Individual Covers
In a family policy, each member is covered separately, so premiums are calculated per person.
For example, adding a spouse and children increases the total premium, but it also ensures that each family member has their own protection, including child-specific benefits like education support in case of an accident to the earning parent.
This structure helps families plan protection without compromising coverage for any individual member.
Disclaimer: Premiums shown are indicative. Actual pricing depends on age, sum insured, occupation risk, optional covers chosen and more.
