Mumbai, November 20, 2023: HDFC Life, one of India’s leading life insurers and Karnataka Bank have entered into a Corporate Agency (CA) arrangement. This CA arrangement will enable customers of Karnataka Bank to avail HDFC Life’s wide range of life insurance products which include solutions for protection, savings and investment, retirement and critical illness.
India is largely under-insured. The protection gap in India is higher than that of most developed markets. For every individual with responsibilities, it is necessary to secure themselves and their families financially. Life insurance is a product that not only provides financial security but also enables individuals to save over the long term in a disciplined manner thus fulfilling their long-term financial goals.
HDFC Life constantly endeavours to reach out to individuals across geographies thus ensuring that they are protected with a financial safety net. This partnership with Karnataka Bank will further strengthen HDFC Life’s efforts towards Insuring India.

Given the under-penetration, there is tremendous potential for life insurance in our country. Life insurance is the first step towards financial planning and we believe it is a must have for every individual with responsibilities.
