Disability benefits are therefore one of the most important parts of a Group Personal Accident (GPA) policy. The amount paid isn\u2019t a fixed figure, though. Instead, it depends on the type and severity of the disability, the policy\u2019s benefit schedule, and its conditions.<\/p>\n<p>This guide explains the disabilities covered under Group Personal Accident insurance, how insurers calculate each benefit, and what HR teams should check in their own policy. In addition, the percentages quoted come from two published insurer policy wordings, which we name alongside each figure. However, they only illustrate how such schedules work; they are not a universal standard.<\/p>\n<div style=\"background: #f6f8fa; border-left: 5px solid #2f5496; padding: 16px 20px; margin: 20px 0; border-radius: 4px; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.6;\">\n<p style=\"margin: 0 0 8px 0;\">GPA policies generally recognise three disability categories:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"margin: 0; padding-left: 22px;\">\n<li>Permanent Total Disability (PTD) &#8211; permanent, total loss of specified functions, such as sight in both eyes, or of all capacity to work.<\/li>\n<li>Permanent Partial Disability (PPD) &#8211; permanent loss of part of the body, such as a finger, paid as a percentage of the sum insured.<\/li>\n<li>Temporary Total Disability (TTD) &#8211; temporary inability to work after an accident, usually paid weekly.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<p>Still, definitions, percentages, and limits vary by policy.<\/p>\n<h2>What Types of Disabilities Are Covered Under Group Personal Accident Insurance?<\/h2>\n<p>A GPA policy can pay for three kinds of accidental disability &#8211; PTD, PPD and TTD &#8211; but only as the policy defines them and only if the schedule includes them.

Some cover death and PTD only, so check the schedule.<\/p>\n<h2>What Is Permanent Total Disability (PTD)?<\/h2>\n<p>PTD is a permanent and total disability that the policy specifically recognises, such as the loss of both eyes or both hands, or a disability that permanently prevents the insured person from working at all. It therefore differs from PPD, which affects only part of the body, and from TTD, which is temporary.<\/p>\n<p>Still, a medical diagnosis isn\u2019t the same as a payable PTD claim. A doctor may describe a serious impairment, but the insurer pays only if the loss matches the policy\u2019s definition. In particular, both wordings reviewed use two tests:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Specified losses<\/strong> &#8211; for example, \u201ctotal and irrecoverable\u201d loss of sight in both eyes, or physical separation of two hands or two feet. Both pay 100% of the sum insured for these. They pay 50% for the loss of one eye, or of one hand or foot (ICICI Lombard Section 2.2; Royal Sundaram D.2(a)-(b)).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Total inability to work<\/strong> &#8211; an injury that permanently and totally disables the person from \u201cengaging in any employment or occupation\u201d (ICICI Lombard Section 2.2). This is a strict test: being unable to return to your <em>own<\/em> job may not be enough.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>The 12-month condition.<\/strong> Specifically, both wordings require the specified loss to result from the injury within twelve months of the accident. This is different, though, from saying a disability must \u201clast 365 days\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Other policies may define PTD differently, for example by reference to the person\u2019s own occupation. Therefore, check your wording.<\/p>\n<h3>Hypothetical PTD Calculation<\/h3>\n<p><em>Assumptions: sum insured \u20b920,00,000. The loss is sight in both eyes, which is 100% under the ICICI Lombard wording.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Therefore, \u20b920,00,000 \u00d7 100% = <strong>\u20b920,00,000<\/strong>. If the loss were one hand only (50% under the same wording), the benefit would be \u20b910,00,000.<\/p>\n<h2>What Is Permanent Partial Disability (PPD)?<\/h2>\n<p>PPD is the permanent loss, or loss of use, of part of the body &#8211; a finger, a toe, or hearing in one ear, for example &#8211; paid as a percentage of the sum insured according to the policy\u2019s schedule. Unlike PTD, the person can usually still work, perhaps in a different capacity.<\/p>\n<p>Generally, insurers calculate PPD by applying the scheduled percentage for the specific loss to the sum insured. The percentage depends on the body part and on how much of it the person loses; for instance, one phalanx (finger bone) versus the whole finger.<\/p>\n<p>For injuries not in the table, both wordings say a doctor assesses the percentage &#8211; \u201cas assessed by the Doctor\u201d (ICICI Lombard) or by the company\u2019s panel doctor (Royal Sundaram). So don\u2019t assume a percentage from the name of the injury.<\/p>\n<p>The figures below come from two published policy wordings. However, they are <strong>specific to those policies<\/strong>, are not an industry standard, and don\u2019t replace your own policy schedule.<\/p>\n<h3>Illustrative PPD Compensation-Percentage Table<\/h3>\n<table style=\"width: 100%;

Instead, the permanent disablement section pays it at 50% &#8211; a reminder that insurers group benefits differently.<\/p>\n<h3>Hypothetical PPD Calculation<\/h3>\n<p><em>Assumptions: sum insured \u20b910,00,000. The loss is two phalanges of the index finger, which is 8% under the ICICI Lombard wording.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Therefore, \u20b910,00,000 \u00d7 8% = <strong>\u20b980,000<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Under the same wording, after a PPD payment, the insurer reduces that person\u2019s sum insured by the amount paid (Part III, clause 9(iv)(b)). So, in this example, \u20b99,20,000 would remain for future claims in the policy period.<\/p>\n<h2>What Is Temporary Total Disability (TTD)?<\/h2>\n<p>TTD is a temporary disability that leaves the insured person totally unable to work for a period, after which the person should recover. It differs from PTD and PPD because the person loses nothing permanently.<\/p>\n<p>However, being off work doesn\u2019t automatically mean a TTD claim. Specifically, both wordings reviewed require total inability to engage in <strong>any<\/strong> employment or occupation, as a direct result of the accidental injury. As a result, an employee who can do light or alternative work may not qualify.<\/p>\n<p>However, policies set the weekly amount differently:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Royal Sundaram (APA002, D.2(e)):<\/strong> 1% of the capital sum insured per week, not exceeding \u20b93,000 per week across all policies, for up to 104 weeks. Total payments cannot exceed the sum insured.<\/li>\n<li><strong>ICICI Lombard (Section 2.4):<\/strong> a weekly amount \u201cas stated\u2026 in the Schedule\u201d, for up to 104 weeks or as stated in Part I. Total payments cannot exceed the sum insured.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Neither wording states a waiting period. Nevertheless, some policies do have a waiting period or a minimum disability period before payment starts. Also, TTD doesn\u2019t necessarily track salary, so it may not replace the employee\u2019s full pay.<\/p>\n<h3>How TTD Weekly Benefits Work<\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li>First, <strong>the accident happens<\/strong> and causes an injury.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Medical documentation<\/strong> &#8211; then the employee gets a doctor\u2019s certificate stating the period of total disability.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The insurer assesses<\/strong> whether the injury meets the policy\u2019s TTD definition.<\/li>\n<li>The insurer applies <strong>any waiting or qualifying period<\/strong> in the policy.<\/li>\n<li>The insurer then calculates <strong>the weekly benefit<\/strong> using the policy\u2019s formula and any cap.<\/li>\n<li>Finally, <strong>payment continues<\/strong> only for certified weeks of total disability, up to the maximum period and the overall limit.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Overall, four things work together:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>The weekly benefit amount<\/strong> &#8211; what the insurer pays for each eligible week.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The eligible weeks<\/strong> &#8211; the certified weeks of total disability.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The maximum<\/strong> &#8211; the cap on the number of weeks, or the total payable.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The waiting period<\/strong> &#8211; weeks at the start that the insurer doesn\u2019t pay, where the policy has one.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Hypothetical TTD Calculation<\/h3>\n<p><em>Assumptions: the Royal Sundaram formula (1% of the sum insured per week, capped at \u20b93,000); sum insured \u20b95,00,000; 10 certified weeks of total disability; no waiting period.<\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>First, 1% \u00d7 \u20b95,00,000 = \u20b95,000 per week, so the \u20b93,000 cap applies.<\/li>\n<li>Therefore, \u20b93,000 \u00d7 10 weeks = <strong>\u20b930,000<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em>Variation (hypothetical &#8211; not from either wording):<\/em> if a policy had a one-week waiting period, 9 weeks would be payable: \u20b927,000.<\/p>\n<p>If the employee is away for 14 weeks but certified as totally disabled for only 10, only 10 weeks qualify.<\/p>\n<h2>PTD vs PPD vs TTD &#8211;

However, the insurer decides eligibility based on the policy wording, the evidence, and its assessment.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Example 1 &#8211; PTD (Arjun).<\/strong> For instance, a road accident leads to the loss of both feet. Under a policy that, like the wordings reviewed, pays 100% for the loss of two feet, and with an assumed sum insured of \u20b915,00,000, the benefit would be \u20b915,00,000. However, the loss must result within the policy\u2019s 12-month window. Also, factors that could change the outcome include an exclusion (such as intoxication), disputed medical evidence, or a different definition in the policy.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Example 2 &#8211; PPD (Meena).<\/strong> Similarly, a factory accident causes loss of hearing in one ear. So, using the 30% shown in both wordings and an assumed sum insured of \u20b98,00,000, the benefit would be \u20b92,40,000. In addition, the insurer will need a specialist audiology report confirming that the loss is total and permanent. However, the insurer would assess a partial hearing loss differently.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Example 3 &#8211; TTD (Ravi).<\/strong> Lastly, a fall fractures Ravi\u2019s wrist, and his doctor certifies him unfit for any work for 6 weeks. So, under a policy using the Royal Sundaram formula, with an assumed sum insured of \u20b92,00,000, the weekly benefit is 1% = \u20b92,000 (below the \u20b93,000 cap). So, over 6 weeks, that is \u20b912,000. If he could have done light duties, the claim might not qualify, and a waiting period would reduce the payable weeks.<\/p>\n<h2>What Documents Do Insurers Need for a Disability Claim?<\/h2>\n<p>Generally, insurers ask for some or all of the following. In any case, the insurer\u2019s own checklist decides what you need.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Completed claim form<\/li>\n<li>Accident details and an FIR (First Information Report) where the police handled the case<\/li>\n<li>Medical reports, treatment records and diagnostic reports, such as X-rays<\/li>\n<li>For PTD or PPD: a disability certificate stating the nature and degree of disability, from a competent or insurer-approved doctor<\/li>\n<li>For TTD: a certificate of the period of total disability, and a fitness certificate on recovery<\/li>\n<li>Employer confirmation of employment and, for TTD, leave records<\/li>\n<li>Identity and bank details<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For the full process, also see SecureNow\u2019s guide on <a href=\"https:\/\/securenow.in\/insuropedia\/guide-for-filing-claim-in-group-personal-accident-policy\/\"><em>how to file a GPA claim<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>Common Mistakes to Avoid When Understanding GPA Disability Benefits<\/h2>\n<table style=\"width: 100%;

However, which ones apply, and how the policy defines them, depends on its schedule and wording.<\/p>\n<h4>Q)\u00a0What is the difference between PTD and PPD?<\/h4>\n<p><strong>A)<\/strong> PTD is a total, permanent loss of specified functions, or of the ability to do any work. In contrast, PPD is the permanent loss of part of the body or its function, such as a finger, paid at a smaller scheduled percentage of the sum insured.<\/p>\n<h4>Q)\u00a0What is the difference between permanent and temporary disability?<\/h4>\n<p><strong>A)<\/strong> A permanent disability is irrecoverable, so the insurer pays it as a lump sum. By contrast, a temporary disability should end with recovery, and the insurer usually pays it weekly while the person is totally unable to work.<\/p>\n<h4>Q)\u00a0How do insurers calculate PPD compensation under GPA insurance?<\/h4>\n<p><strong>A)<\/strong> Specifically, the insurer applies the percentage in the policy\u2019s PPD schedule for the specific loss to the sum insured. For example, under one published wording, 8% applies to two phalanges of the index finger: 8% of \u20b910 lakh is \u20b980,000.<\/p>\n<h4>Q)\u00a0Is the PPD compensation percentage the same for every insurer?<\/h4>\n<p><strong>A)<\/strong> No.\u00a0Schedules can differ in their percentages, in the injuries they list, and in how the insurer assesses unlisted injuries. So, always use the percentages in your own policy schedule.<\/p>\n<h4>Q)\u00a0How does a TTD weekly benefit work?<\/h4>\n<p><strong>A)<\/strong> Generally, the insurer pays a weekly amount for each certified week of total disability, calculated by the policy\u2019s formula, up to any weekly cap and a maximum number of weeks. For example, one published wording pays 1% of the sum insured per week, up to \u20b93,000, for up to 104 weeks.<\/p>\n<h4>Q) Does TTD always cover an employee\u2019s lost salary?<\/h4>\n<p><strong>A)<\/strong> No. In fact, TTD may be based on the sum insured or a fixed amount, may have a weekly cap, and usually requires total inability to do any work. As a result, it may pay less than the employee\u2019s salary.<\/p>\n<h4>Q)\u00a0Is a disability benefit automatically payable after an accident?<\/h4>\n<p><strong>A)<\/strong> No.\u00a0First, the disability must meet the policy\u2019s definition. In addition, the policy must cover the accident, no exclusion may apply, and the required medical and other documents must support the claim.<\/p>\n<h4>Q)\u00a0What documents do insurers need for a GPA disability claim?<\/h4>\n<p><strong>A)<\/strong> Typically, the claim form, accident details or an FIR, medical and diagnostic records, a disability certificate (PTD or PPD) or a certificate of the period of disability (TTD), employer confirmation, and identity and bank details. Still, the insurer\u2019s own list prevails.<\/p>\n<h4>Q) Where can an HR buyer check the applicable disability limits?<\/h4>\n<p><strong>A)<\/strong> In the policy schedule and the policy wording &#8211; specifically the benefit table, the PPD schedule, the TTD clause, and the aggregate-limit clause. Also, the insurer or broker can explain any unclear term.<br \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\">\n{\n  \"@context\": \"https:\/\/schema.org\",\n  \"@type\": \"FAQPage\",\n  \"mainEntity\": [\n    {\n      \"@type\": \"Question\",\n      \"name\": \"What disabilities are covered under Group Personal Accident insurance?\",\n      \"acceptedAnswer\": {\n        \"@type\": \"Answer\",\n        \"text\": \"Generally, GPA policies cover three types of accidental disability: Permanent Total Disability (PTD), Permanent Partial Disability (PPD), and Temporary Total Disability (TTD).
