- Nature of Policy: The Corona Kavach policy is an indemnity based plan i.e. the claim will be paid on the basis of the hospital bill. On the contrary, Corona Rakshak Policy is a benefit plan i.e. gives a fixed lump sum amount on the treatment of Corona positive. Under the Corona Kavach policy, there is an additional daily hospital cash cover of the day which is 0.5 percent of the sum assured and is valid for a maximum period of 15 days during the policy while there is no such benefit in the Corona Rakshak policy.
