Takaful MediCash Income Protection Plan

Takaful MediCash - Income Protection Plan

Takaful income shield to ease your journey to recovery.

Illnesses and accidents can happen anytime leading to long days or months of hospitalisation. Such situations can lead to loss of income and add financial burden for you and your loved ones.

Takaful MediCash is a standalone and affordable income protection cover that offers Daily Hospitalisation Income, Monthly Accidental Total and Permanent Disability (TPD) Income, and Compassionate Allowance to protect you against income loss. This Shariah-compliant plan ensures that you and your family stay distant from financial problems even when your stable flow of income halts.

Important Notice on Income Protection Coverage

Income protection – the ability to ensure financial security even in the face of crises such as long-term illness, disability or death – plays a crucial role in our lives and that of our loved ones. Yet, the income protection gap is present in many families, who do not have financial compensation should there be a reduction / loss in household income due unexpected events. To get a quick calculation on how much insurance / takaful coverage can be obtained based on your budget and needs, try out Protection Gap and Budget Calculator.

Zurich Takaful operates under the principle of Wakalah, whereby the Takaful Operator acts as an agent to the Participant for managing the operations of the Takaful business. A Wakalah Fee will be charged up-front from the contributions made. Tabarru’ (donation) will be deducted to the Participant Risk Investment Account (PRIA), where it will be used for mutual aid and assistance, based on the concept of Takaful. The benefits are paid from the PRIA only upon a covered loss, and not upon maturity or surrender of the certificate. Surplus Sharing (if any) at the end of each financial year will be shared between the Participant, and Zurich Takaful at a 50:50 ratio. The investment profit earned on the Participant Investment Account (PIA) is derived from the return on underlying assets and Zurich Takaful charges a Wakalah Bi al-Istithmar Fee (Investment Agency Fee) for managing these assets. The investment risk in PIA is fully borne by the Participant. 100% of investment profit earned, net of tax, less the aforementioned Wakalah Bi al-Istithmar Fee, will remain in the PIA for the benefit of the Participant. There will be no further sharing of the investment profit arising in the PIA with Shareholders.

Note: This is a pure protection product where the sole purpose of the product is to provide you with coverage for specific covered events. You should not expect to receive any investment return throughout the term of the policy or when the policy matures. This product is distributed and sold without going through any intermediaries.
