• Financial Assistance will be considered for dependent parents with no age bar where gross total income as per Income tax Act of family of the Member is less than Rs. 10 lacs.
  
  
• Financial Assistance will also be considered for remaining amount in the cases (including dependent) where Member has received partial claim from the insurance company.
  
  
• Dependent parent with income shall also be now eligible (as against no income of dependent earlier) provided the total gross income as per Income tax Act of the family of the Member is less than Rs. 10 lacs

The above relaxed norms shall be applicable for the Hospitalization cases [on and after 26th April, 2021] to the members and their dependents who are in distress and need help.
