Covered vs Not Covered

A complete, honest breakdown - because we want you to buy with full confidence, not be surprised later.

Situation What's covered What's not covered
Phishing attack - you clicked a fake link and money was debited Yes, covered
Phone stolen and someone makes UPI transactions Yes, covered
Hacker gains access to your account via malware or fake call Yes, covered
M-Wallet balance stolen through fraud Yes, covered
You shared your OTP or PIN voluntarily (even under pressure) Not covered
Bank already reversed or refunded the transaction Not covered
Technical error by the bank or payment app (no fraud involved) Not covered

Losses in assets other than UPI or M-Wallet (e.g. credit card, investments) Not covered
A note on exclusions: We know some of these might feel frustrating — especially the OTP condition. These exclusions are standard across all financial insurance products and are required to prevent misuse of the policy. Our promise is that for genuine fraud cases, we'll process your claim fairly and quickly.
