As per section 64Vb clause by regulator, the insurer can provide the risk coverage only when he has received the premium. To meet this clause, the insurer maintains an advance premium deposit for group policies. If the advance premium is adequately maintained, the employee will be given coverage from day 1 of joining. If the premium is not adequate, the coverage will start from the date of receipt of premium at the insurers end. Hence, it is advisable to maintain sufficient advance premium deposit balance with the insurer. The enrolment tool should be capable of showing you the advance premium balance available at any point of time.
