SBI Card Discontinues Air Accident Cover on Select Cards
SBI is stopping the free air accident insurance that came with some of their credit cards.
Starting July 15, 2025, cards like SBI Card ELITE won't have the ₹1 crore insurance anymore.
Cards such as SBI Card PRIME will lose their ₹50 lakh benefit.
This also affects cards from other banks that work with SBI, starting August 11, 2025.
This means people who fly should look into buying their own travel insurance to stay protected if something happens on a flight.

SBI Card ELITE and Miles ELITE cards will lose their ₹1 crore coverage from July 15, 2025.
SBI Card PRIME and PULSE cards will lose ₹50 lakh coverage from July 15, 2025.
Numerous co-branded cards from various banks will also lose insurance benefits from August 11, 2025.
