"We are looking at acquiring 0.5-1 million customers through this product over the next 18 months," he added.
It is a non-linked, non-participating endowment product providing fully guaranteed benefits as a lump-sum on maturity. This plan is designed to offer policyholders short and long-term financial security by integrating FD beating returns and protection.
"Through its new offering, ABSLI intends to cater to investors who prefer simplified products like fixed deposits," Rao said.
