Includes expenses for artificial limbs/prosthetics, home/vehicle modifications (e.g., ramps, adapted controls), or other aids to adapt to changed lifestyle.

Part of Personal Accident (PA) enhancements; bundled with options like Child Education Benefit, Coma Cover.

Optional add-on (extra premium); applies worldwide during policy period.

Benefits:

Provides lump-sum or reimbursement for long-term adaptations after severe accidents.

Eases financial burden of disability (costs can run into lakhs for prosthetics/modifications).

Supports rehabilitation and independence — invaluable for families in tragic scenarios.

Complements main PA cover (death/disablement payout).

Typical Limits:

Up to ₹5–10 lakh or sub-limit of PA sum insured (varies by plan; e.g., tied to USD 10,000–25,000 overseas PA).

Extra premium applies (part of accident bundle).

Claim Requirements:

Accident must lead to permanent total disablement (doctor-certified, e.g., loss of limbs/sight).

Notify insurer's 24/7 helpline immediately.

Submit: Claim form, medical reports/disability certificate, bills/receipts for modifications/prosthetics, police FIR (if applicable), policy/passport copies.

Assessment by insurer's medical team; payout after approval.

File within 30–90 days; strict verification (15–45 days settlement).

Advice: Rare but critical for comprehensive protection — opt for it if selecting Tata AIG premium plans, especially for high-risk trips. Not available standalone; check policy schedule. Most other insurers focus on basic PA without this enhancement.
