Loan-linked insurance, mapped
Which cover fits which loan, what the regulator expects, and what happens across the loan's life: one reference page.
In short: loan-linked insurance covers a borrower's life, health or pledged asset for a loan's tenure, so the outstanding is repaid if the borrower dies, is hospitalized or the asset is damaged. Banks and NBFCs attach it digitally at disbursal with consent capture.
