ANNOUNCEMENT


The RICB is extending its “Special COVID Relief Programs” from 1st of July 2021 – 31st of December 2021 to continue providing risk coverage to the frontline workers and the Bhutanese people during these challenging times. Since its launch on the 15th of September 2020, our “Special COVID Relief Programs” was able to provide free life insurance cover worth Nu 500,000 to the
families of those frontline workers who lost their lives on COVID duty. The offer also helped the Bhutanese to revive 1,600 life policies. Our discount offer for non-life insurance helped reduce fire policy lapsation by 40 percent and motor insurance policy by 30 percent.
