The Indian Community Benevolent Forum’s (ICBF) insurance scheme was launched by Indian ambassador P Kumaran Wednesday. The function also marked the signing of a memorandum of understanding by ICBF president P N Baburajan and Damaan Islamic Insurance Company chief operating officer G Harikrishnan.
The scheme is implemented in association with Damaan Islamic Insurance Company – Beema, which facilitates the cover. Any Indian expatriate between 18-65 years can join. The registration process needs a valid Qatar ID. The premium is QR125 for two years while the coverage is QR100,000 in the event of death. The amount will be disbursed to the beneficiary’s families if valid documents are submitted after death. The scheme also covers permanent or partial disability up to a maximum of QR100,000, depending on the percentage of the disability.
