HDFC Life Introduces Video Life Certificate – An Industry First – for its Annuity Customers

November 22, 2019: HDFC Life, one of India’s leading life insurers, has been an innovator when it comes to life insurance products and services. Through its offerings, HDFC Life has not only managed to simplify life insurance but also made the customer journey easier thereby providing them with a superior experience.

HDFC Life, today, announced the launch of Video Life Certificate facility for its corporate and retail Annuity customers. This is an industry-first initiative and aims to offer greater convenience to customers.

A life certificate is a critical document that needs to be submitted by annuitants to continue receiving their Annuity, without interruption. The life certificate needs to be submitted at specified time intervals. Furthermore, this document requires verification from a bank or a medical practitioner. This process could be cumbersome for customers, particularly, senior citizens.

HDFC Lifes Video Life Certificate enables customers to submit life certificate online, in the form of a video. For this purpose, Annuity customers will receive a message along with a link, 90 days before the due date of their life certificate. They need to simply click the link, record a video of themselves and submit the same. This video serves as a life certificate. The process is completely online and eliminates the need for visiting banks, medical practitioners or even the life insurer.

Speaking on the launch, Mr. Srinivasan Parthasarathy, Chief Actuary & Appointed Actuary – HDFC Life, said, “As a company, we keep our ears close to the ground, listening to customers and addressing their needs through our innovative products and product-related offerings. I am happy to announce the launch of the Video Life Certificate. This is yet another innovation by us, for our Annuity customers. We believe this will make lives easier for our customers. The Video Life Certificate offers them an easy and hassle-free experience. It further simplifies our existing process wherein for the last five years we already accepted life certificates over email.

Submitting the Video Life Certificate is convenient and can be done within a matter of a few minutes. We do hope our customers make the most of this facility.”

HDFC Life has focussed on Annuity through offerings such as innovative products and superior service facilities. The Company has launched the industry-first Deferred Annuity product, Pension Guaranteed Plan, and offers Immediate Annuity products which have competitive rates.  Further, HDFC Life has launched a dedicated platform for Annuity customers, called Life 99, to enable individuals to better plan their retirement. The Video Life Certificate is yet another effort in the direction of offering the best in class to Annuity customers.

Elon Musk's "Use Signal" Post Spurred Massive Rally For The Wrong One

A two-word app recommendation from Elon Musk has turned into a massive rally in the shares of a tiny medical device company in another case of mistaken identity. “Use Signal,” the Tesla Inc. chief executive officer wrote on Twitter on Jan. 7, apparently referring to the encrypted messaging service. By the end of the day, Signal Advance Inc. shares had surged more than sixfold. That was enough to push Signal Advance’s rally more than 5,100% in three trading days giving it a market valuation of $390 million. Despite reports about the confusion on Friday, the stock has continued to rally. Shares of the Rosharon, Texas-based company surged as much as 885% on Monday before paring the gains. “We strongly recommend people do their due diligence and always invest with care,” the company’s chief executive officer, Dr. Chris Hymel, said when reached by phone on Monday. Signal Advance doesn’t have an association with Musk or the Signal app, he said. Signal Advance hasn’t filed an annual report wi

RBI Policy: MPC may keep policy rate unchanged at 6%; owl may sound hawkish

N- Urjit Patel, Governor of the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), and his five colleagues on the Monetary Policy Committee will not find it too hard to keep the key policy interest rate unchanged at the upcoming policy review on February 7. The 2-day deliberations on February 6 and 7 by the MPC on the repo rate decision are expected to remain tilted towards a pause mode, keeping the near term outlook hawkish. However, they may raise rates later given the risks of higher inflation with fiscal slippages and higher food prices with the government planning to increase the Minimum Support Price (MSP). In the Budget last week, the government promised to ensure MSP of key crops at 1.5 times the cost of production. This could mean at least a 50-70-basis-points increase in the headline inflation number. While banks and bond markets have already signaled the end of the interest rate easing cycle, the MPC may keep the repo rate unchanged at 6 percent. Inflation risks Although, experts suggest the infl
