No Salary Slip? Here's How Freelancers Can Still Get Life Insurance

Being self-employed doesn't mean you have to settle for less protection.

"No ITR, no salary slip, so I probably can't get proper cover." This assumption stops too many freelancers from even applying.

It's not the format of your income proof that matters; it's proof that your income is real and stable.

Bank statements, audited P&L statements, net worth certificates, and business records can all serve as valid proof of income.

For self-employed applicants, honest and complete disclosures directly affect how smoothly your claim gets processed later.

Without formal salary documentation, insurers may initially offer a lower cover amount; that's normal, not a rejection.

Canara HSBC Life Insurance offers term plans designed for freelance and self-employed income. Keep your financial records organised, and the right cover is closer than you think.
