Moreover, the ULIP policy riders help you enhance your protection against unforeseen circumstances. So, basically, through ULIP riders, a policyholder adds various other insurance benefits.
For example, you have opted for a life insurance policy that does not cover health and accidental insurance. So rather than opting for two additional policies, you can use ULIP riders to add these benefits to your policy.
Let’s have a look at some of the ULIP riders and the benefits that a policyholder can add to their existing ULIP policy:
Life is unpredictable, but you can be prepared for any unfortunate circumstance. For example, suppose your regular income is impacted due to some life-threatening event, maybe due to an accident that left you on disability or a chronic illness. Naturally, most policyholders will be worried about the timely payment of premiums. However, when you opt for the Premium waiver riders, in such a life-threatening case where your regular income source has ceased, all the future premiums of your ULIP policy are waived off, and your investment and life insurance cover continues towards maturity.
This ensures that even when you cannot earn, the life of your loved ones is not affected financially. However, before opting for this rider, you must look at the eligibility criteria and other details related to this ULIP rider.
This is an add-on financial help to your existing ULIP life insurance if you lose your life in an accident.

In that case, the nominee will receive an extra amount as a ULIP rider sum assured in addition to the original life insurance policy.
This rider is an addon to ensure that if a policyholder meets an accident leaving them partially/disabled, they are eligible for a lump sum payout subject to policy terms and guidelines. This is one of the must-have riders in ULIP policy as it ensures that if your life is saved, but you are disabled and lost your regular source of income, you are still financially covered and will receive a lump sum for meeting daily living expenses.
