New Delhi: Who cares about buying travel insurance for train journeys? You should, especially when you can get insurance coverage of up to Rs 10 lakh for financial protection against train accidents and other untoward incidents, including robbery, at a near-zero premium of 68 paise.
You may have overlooked it, but the Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corp (IRCTC) was so far providing you free and mandatory travel insurance each time you booked a ticket through its website or mobile app. Not anymore.
