Paytm Auto and Cab partners drive away worries with free health insurance

In India, auto rickshaws and cabs are the pillars that support the country’s last-mile transport. These good folks are always on the road, driving us places. However, due to the high-risk lifestyle, they are less likely to get insurance. We strongly felt this should change, and it did.

We have partnered with TATA AIG General Insurance to offer free cashless health insurance to auto and cab drivers across the country. The new insurance provides them a safety net against accidents and covers their existing health conditions. We think it’s the best way to say thank you for everything they continue to do for us.

The new insurance scheme covers hospitalization expenses. Paytm will pay the first 2 EMIs on behalf of the drivers, while subsequent EMIs can be paid by the drivers themselves using the Paytm App. This is available to auto and cab partners who accept payments with the Paytm Wallet.

We feel this will help thousands of drivers across the country.
