The personal accident takaful ensures that you are protected 24 hours a day, and anywhere in the world, subject to the terms and conditions of the plan. You contribute a sum of money to a general takaful fund in the form of participative contribution tabarru’). Participants of the fund agree to help each other when they are involved in an accident resulting in death, disablement or injuries.
If you have not made any claim during the period of takaful, at maturity you are entitled to a share of the surplus in the general takaful fund, based on a pre-agreed ratio between you and the takaful operator.
The example below should give you a basic idea how surplus sharing can work.
Example: A takaful operator has a total surplus (S) of RM4 million and total general contribution (GC) of RM10 million. Your contribution (C) for the year is RM500. The pre-agreed sharing ratio (PSR) for the surplus is 50:50. Your share of surplus will be as follows: |

The basic cover of a PA takaful includes death and disablement arising from accidents. In addition to the basic cover, takaful operators may also provide coverage on medical expenses, hospitalisation benefits, corrective surgery and funeral expenses. PA takaful coverage varies between takaful operators. You are advised to participate in a plan that suits your need. |
