IRDAI has not specified a coverage amount yet, however some insurance companies have started providing minimum coverage of INR 50,000. As an employer, you should look at a couple of factors such as profile of your employees (white collar vs blue collar), cost of healthcare in your location (Tier 1 vs Tier 2 vs Rural), and the premium budget that your company can afford!
