The Postal Department has expanded its postal life insurance that was
restricted to government and semi-government officials to all
non-government professionals.
Residents can now avail themselves of postal life insurance at the
General Head Post office, Amritsar, and Post office,Tarn Tarn. People
can come and get themselves covered by the postal life insurance.
The
facility was introduced in the British era in 1884 and was extended only
to government officials.
The postal authorities stated that there were a number of policies for
the applicants.
One could take up policies depending on one’s age as
well as the monetary situation of the individual.
Anyone above the age of 18 can apply for insurance.
These policies are
low on premium and offer a number of bonuses as compared to the others
offered by other policy providers.
The employees listed under the
national stock exchange and the Bombay stock exchange can also be
entitled to the insurance, apart from others.
The residents need to
carry a copy of their Aadhaar card, Pan card, two photographs, and a
professional proof to avail themselves of the service.
One can visit the
post office from 9 am to 5 pm from Monday to Saturday.
Makhan Singh, Senior Superintendent, post office, Amritsar division,
said, “We have expanded our clientele.
The move shall benefit the
maximum number of people under postal life insurance. People shall have
positive gains.
This service is pocket-friendly. Residents need to visit
the post office.”
