The first claim under the HNB Gami Pubuduwa Micro Finance Insurance
Scheme was honoured recently at its Head Office, Development Banking
Division.
The beneficiary Mrs Murin Mataraarachchi (67) received an cheque for
Rs. 25,000 as a nominee for her son Dimantha Danushka Shaminda (23) who
died in a road accident recently. HNB Assurance also settled the loan
balance outstanding of Rs. 23,000 to the bank, which is a great relief
to guarantors who provided collateral for the deceased borrower's loan.
The borrower, D. D Shaminda, a Gami Pubuduwa customer of HNB Kalutara
had been engaged in house wiring and repairing of electrical equipment.
He was the breadwinner of his family and his father is also bed-ridden.
The bank together with HNB Assurance Ltd introduced this micro
finance insurance scheme in June 2006 as a value addition to the Gami
Pubuduwa concept, which covers life and liability of borrowers. |
