Tata AIA Life Insurance Introduces ‘Shubh Muhurat’ for Wedding Savings

Tata AIA Life Insurance has introduced ‘Shubh Muhurat,’ a life insurance solution tailored to help families manage the financial demands of weddings, a significant life event in India. This policy combines savings, wealth creation, and financial security to address the rising costs of weddings.

Addressing the Costs of India’s Wedding Industry

India’s wedding industry, the second largest globally, saw over 80 lakh weddings in 2024, with expenditures exceeding ₹10.7 lakh crore, according to a Jefferies report. With the average wedding cost at ₹12.5 lakh often outpacing education expenses, Tata AIA’s policy aims to reduce the financial burden on parents aged 31-50 years with children between 1-20 years.

‘Shubh Muhurat’ provides a range of features, including capital guarantees, market-linked investment growth, and life cover, to ensure savings remain protected even in unforeseen circumstances. Additionally, it offers planned payouts for various wedding expenses such as venue bookings, ceremonies, guest accommodation, and jewellery purchases. The funds are safeguarded under the Married Women’s Property Act (MWPA), ensuring legal protection.

Key Features to Ensure Financial Continuity

The policy includes a benefit protection rider that waives future premiums and guarantees maturity benefits to nominees if the policyholder passes away. This ensures wedding plans continue without financial strain on the family.

Commenting on the launch, Venky Iyer, MD & CEO of Tata AIA Life, stated, “Weddings are significant life events, and planning them requires careful financial preparation. This product ensures parents are financially prepared to fulfil their aspirations for their child’s wedding, even in challenging circumstances.”
