The minimum term of policy is five years and the claim settlements are done at the SKS centre meeting, the company stated in a press release on Wednesday.

“There was a huge demand for this micro-insurance scheme from our members,” SKS chief operating officer, MR Rao, said, adding nearly 1.7 million members were covered under Swayam Shakti Suraksha since its launch 10 months ago.
