KATHMANDU, NOVEMBER 6

In a first-of-its-kind initiative, Ncell has partnered with MetLife Nepal to launch 'Data Sangai Jeevan Beema', a mobile data plan bundled with life and critical illness insurance coverage.

Under the offer, customers purchasing the Rs. 99 pack receive 100MB data valid for three days, along with Rs. 200,000 life insurance and Rs. 200,000 critical illness coverage for 30 days. The Rs. 39 pack provides 100MB data with Rs. 50,000 insurance coverage for the same duration.

Upanga Dutta, Chief Consumer Business Officer at Ncell, said the partnership aims to extend protection to underserved communities.

'This collaboration is a social commitment that brings insurance access to all, right through a data purchase,' he said.

Arun Bahadur Basnet, Chief Distribution Officer of MetLife Nepal, said the program marks a step forward in micro-insurance innovation.

'For the first time, a small data purchase can provide long-term peace of mind,' he added.

The packages can be subscribed through the Ncell App or by dialing *123*4#. Insurance coverage activates immediately upon registration.
