Mumbai: Bajaj Allianz Life has introduced MahilaGain, a policy aimed exclusively at women.

While the basic life insurance policy protects the policy also provides protection against health risks specific to women.

Existing policy-holders can enhance their insurance policy by attaching benefits that provide coverage against these ailments. The MahilaGain rider can be attached to Bajaj Allianz Life's existing products like InvestGain, CashGain, UnitGain and UnitGain Plus.

The benefit payouts are paid upfront in a lump sum, says the company in a media communiqué.
