We are pleased to announce that first Zahra Hasanaat Financial Planning Workshop – Security through insurance – was held in partnership with the Government of India’s Department of Post Financial Inclusion Initiative.

The workshop engaged and educated families about good financial planning and subsidized policies available especially in the Indian market, for example:

• Subsidized health insurance/medi-claim (Premium of approximately INR 4,000 per year, coverage up to 3L)
• Subsidized accidental insurance (Premium of INR 400 per year, coverage of up to 10L)
• Subsidized life insurance (Premium of INR 486, up to 2 Lakhs at time of death)

This is the first of such workshops and Zahra Hasanaat is continuing to develop other partnerships and initiatives also that will help people gain stability and security through good financial planning.

Over one third of the attendees opted into an insurance plan as a result of the seminar.
