United India Insurance Co. Ltd News and Future Plans



The Tamilnad Mercantile Bank (TMB) has collaborated with the United India Insurance to bring out a family healthcare policy that will provide specialized health plans for the bank's customers.

The CEO and Managing Director of Tamilnad Mercantile Bank, KM Nagendra Murthy, has stated that the cobranded policy is an important one given the increasing cost of healthcare plans. The product will provide good levels of risk coverage in lieu of a nominal premium.

In 2010 TMB had tied up with the United India Insurance for a Bancassurance deal and so far has promoted the insurer's various products through its 288 branches. It is expected that the bank will be able to market the product to almost 50 thousand customers in the present financial year.

G Srinivasan, the MD and Chairman of United India Insurance, has stated that though the penetration of these products is on the lower side the demand for health insurance is always growing.

He has said that approximately 15% of the Indian population avails insurance products and 60% of these people go for schemes operated by the national and the state governments.

United India Insurance expects that its premium income will go up to INR 10,000 crores at the end of 2012-13 and it will be able to add 300 more offices in the Class III and IV cities. This will be part of its program of financial inclusion.
