Ncell’s Data Pack Users to Receive MetLife’s Insurance Protection

Ncell and MetLife Nepal have joined forces to launch ‘Data Sangai Jeevan Beema’ — a first-of-its-kind offering that bundles mobile data with life and critical illness insurance protection. 

The partnership gives Ncell data users an option to choose from two specially designed packages where they can enjoy data along with life insurance coverage, Ncell said in a statement.

“The Rs. 99 Pack, including applicable taxes, provides 100MB data valid for three days bundled with term life insurance of Rs. 200,000 and critical illness insurance of Rs. 200,000 valid for 30 days from the subscription date,” read the statement. “The Rs. 39 Pack gives customers 100MB data valid for three days, bundled with term life insurance coverage of Rs. 50,000 and critical illness coverage of Rs. 50,000 valid for 30 days from the subscription date.” 

Customers can subscribe directly through the Ncell App by selecting their preferred package and filling out a short information form required by MetLife Nepal. 

The pack can also be bought by dialing *123*4*6#. Subscribers’ Term life insurance coverage by MetLife Nepal starts instantly — right after submission while critical illness coverage will have a 30 days waiting period, the statement added.

According to Ncell, the partnership aims to unlock insurance access for all its users, especially reaching communities who have long been underserved. 

With a low entry price, fully digital onboarding, and meaningful coverage, ‘Data Sangai Jeevan Beema’ marks a major leap forward in Nepal’s journey towards financial inclusion and social protection, Nell added.

Said Upanga Dutta, Chief Consumer Business Officer of Ncell, “We are delighted to partner with MetLife Nepal to strengthen the safety net for our customers across the country. This collaboration goes beyond financial protection; it’s a social commitment that extends insurance coverage to the wider Nepali community at the micro level.

Similarly, Arun Bahadur Basnet, Chief Distribution Officer of MetLife Nepal, added: “At MetLife Nepal, we believe protection is a right, not a privilege. This partnership means that, for the first time, a small, short-term data purchase can give you and your family longer term peace of mind.”
