Introduction to SUD Life Protect Shield

SUD Life Protect Shield is a term insurance plan offered by Star Union Dai-Ichi Life Insurance Company, also known as SUD Life Insurance Company. A term insurance plan is by far the cheapest, most efficient way to secure the future of your loved ones, and protect them against the risk of your death. It pays a sum of money, based on the cover amount you choose - to your family, in case your death happens during the policy period. This money can ensure that all their financial needs are catered to - both in the short term and in the long term.
