How Does ABSLI Cancer Shield Plan work?
Use Case 1
Rahul insured himself with ABSLI Cancer Shield Plan at the age of 35. He took the policy for 20 years with the level income benefit option. For a sum assured of Rs.50 Lakhs, he had to pay a yearly premium of Rs.6,900 excluding GST.
After regularly paying the premium for 13 years, at the age of 48 unfortunately he was diagnosed with an early stage of cancer and he filed a claim.
So this cancer insurance policy paid him Rs.15 Lakhs(30% of sum assured) and the premium payment for 5 years (14th-18th policy year) was waived off.
After six more years, in the 19th policy year, the doctors diagnosed him with the major cancer stage at 54.
So the cancer policy paid him the remaining of the sum assured worth Rs.35 Lakhs (70% of sum assured). In addition to that, he became eligible to receive a monthly income of Rs. 50,000(1% of sum assured) for the next five years.
With all these cancer insurance benefits, Rahul was eligible to avail the best treatments.

FAQs
With rapidly changing lifestyles, the risk of cancer is growing at an alarming rate in India and the medical expenses can cause a huge dent in your savings. ABSLI Cancer Shield Plan is a health insurance plan which covers you financially through every stage of cancer and protects your savings against the disease.
Yes, owning an ABSLI Cancer Shield Plan along with a health cover is important. A cancer insurance policy covers the insured for cancer only. On the other hand, a health insurance policy covers other diseases as well. A health insurance policy pays the policyholder in case of hospitalization due to illness or accident. The policy will reimburse or provide cashless service if the insured is hospitalized for 24 hours minimum( in most of the cases). The health insurance policy will cover you for pre and post-hospitalization expenses.
On the other hand, ABSLI Cancer Shield Plan will pay you a lump sum amount on the diagnosis of cancer. The idea of the policy is to enable the policyholder to not compromise on the quality of the treatment. The policy covers all stages of cancer and protects your savings. Ultimately, this policy prevents the family from any financial burden on the family which otherwise will be made for the treatment. The lump sum amount will also save you from loss of income with monthly income benefit which brings peace to your mind.
Both the policies provide you income tax benefits under Section 80D of the Income Tax Act, 1961.
Stage 2 Cancer refers to large cancer or tumors that have grown but haven't spread.
A cancer insurance policy covers the expenses that the life insured will incur at the time of diagnosis. The policy will cover the cost of hospitalization, treatment procedure, and medications. The amount payable will be made in a lump sum, the percentage of this payment will be made depending on the plan and the stage of cancer. The cancer insurance policy will cover cancer detected at the minor as well as the major stage.
When the minor stage of cancer is diagnosed first, the lump sum amount will be released at the time of diagnosis. The future premiums will be waived off for a specified time. Now, if the cancer is detected again, the remaining portion of the sum assured will be made available to the insured. In some cases, the insurance company will also provide a regular income to the insured after the treatment for a certain period.
