Aditya Birla Activ Secure

A fixed-benefit plan, not indemnity. It pays a set amount on a defined event rather than reimbursing a bill: personal accident, one of 64 critical illnesses, a cancer diagnosis, or a day spent in hospital. It sits alongside a hospitalisation policy, not instead of one.

02Cover

What Activ Secure covers

These are the terms that decide what you are actually paid when you claim. Room rent, co-pay and restoration do more to shape a settlement than the sum insured does, and they are read from Aditya Birla's own policy wording.

What this plan does
03Waiting periods

Activ Secure waiting periods: when each part of the cover starts

Waiting periods run from the day cover began, not from the day you fall ill, and they run in parallel rather than one after another.

Initial waiting period30 days from the start of the first policy, except for an accident
04Exclusions

Activ Secure exclusions: what the plan will not pay for

Every policy carries exclusions, and they are the clauses people read for the first time at claim stage. These are the ones worth knowing before you buy.

Not coveredIndicative, not exhaustive. Your policy wording is the contract.
01Anything in the first 30 days of the first policy, other than an accident.
02Pre-existing diseases and the listed specified diseases, for the periods set out in the policy wording.
05The honest bit

Where Activ Secure falls short

No plan is right for everyone, and a page that only lists strengths is not much use to you. These are the gaps we would raise on a call before recommending it.

Worth knowing before you buyNone of these are dealbreakers on their own. They are the trade-offs this plan asks you to accept.
01Written for a specific purpose. Check you fall inside its eligibility before comparing it on price against a mainstream family plan.
02Waiting periods restart on any increase in sum insured, to the extent of the increase.
03The waiver of deductible is the reason to choose this plan, and it is narrowly gated. You must have bought before 50, renewed without a break for five years, and you can only exercise it while the eldest insured is 55 to 60. Miss that window and it is gone.
06FAQs

Activ Secure questions, answered

Is this a substitute for a health insurance policy?

Not on its own. Written for a specific purpose. Check you fall inside its eligibility before comparing it on price against a mainstream family plan.

What are the waiting periods?

Thirty days from the start of the first policy for anything other than an accident, plus the pre-existing and specified-disease periods set out in the policy wording, which is the contract.

Other Aditya Birla plans we have read

Aditya Birla files these separately, and the terms differ between them. If you are choosing within the range, compare the waiting periods and the exclusions rather than the sum insured.
