Debit card may have covered you with Personal Accidental Insurance
Almost all banks – whether private or public – provide accidental hospitalisation cover or accidental death cover to their customers having an operation bank account. The range of insurance provided under the criteria starts from Rs 50000 to Rs 10 lakh, depending upon the customer to customer bank dealings. People are reluctant to know about the cover provided by the banks and neither banks provide any information to their customers. However, most of the banks are offering cover on credit cards also. If the bank account is inoperative, then your cover may get withdrawn by the bank.
