Term riders

The add-ons that earn their keep — and the ones that don't.

Riders bolt extra protection onto a term plan for a small additional premium. Some are quietly excellent; others duplicate cover you already have.

Add protection where a real financial gap exists.

In plain English

Add the risk, not the brochure

A rider is useful only when it closes a specific financial gap more efficiently than a standalone policy.

Waiver of premium

Can keep the base cover active after specified disability or illness.

Accidental disability

Useful where lost earning ability is the real risk.

Critical illness

A lump sum on specified diagnoses; compare definitions carefully.

An honest fit check

Who this is for — and who should skip it

It fits when

The rider closes a clear gap in your financial plan. Its definitions and payout trigger are understood.

Consider another route when

You already have stronger standalone cover. The add-on is being sold as a substitute for adequate base cover.

Good questions

Questions, answered

Is MITRA's advice really free?

Yes — consultations and claims support are free for you. Like all insurance intermediaries, we earn a standard commission from insurers when a policy is issued. Our advisors are measured on fit and claim outcomes, not sales targets.

What does claims support include?

A dedicated claim expert prepares and verifies your documents, coordinates with the hospital, insurer or TPA, resolves queries, and explains the final settlement in plain language. It is included for policies bought or ported through MITRA.

Can MITRA guarantee that my claim will be paid?

No intermediary can decide or guarantee a claim outcome. The insurer decides based on policy wording and the facts of the claim. MITRA makes sure your file is complete, follows up, contests unsupported deductions and escalates when valid grounds exist.
