Kathmandu: Ncell and MetLife Nepal have joined forces to launch ‘Data Sangai Jeevan Beema’ a first-of-its-kind offering that bundles mobile data with life and critical illness insurance protection. Through this groundbreaking partnership, Ncell data customers can now choose from two specially designed packages that combine affordable data access with meaningful insurance coverage.

The Rs. 99 Pack, inclusive of taxes, provides 100MB of data valid for three days, bundled with term life insurance of Rs. 200,000 and critical illness insurance of Rs. 200,000, both valid for 30 days from the subscription date. Similarly, the Rs. 39 Pack offers 100MB of data for three days, bundled with term life insurance coverage of Rs. 50,000 and critical illness coverage of Rs. 50,000, valid for 30 days from the subscription date.

Customers can subscribe directly through the Ncell App by selecting their preferred package and filling out a short information form required by MetLife Nepal. The pack can also be purchased by dialing 1234#. Term life insurance coverage starts immediately upon submission, while critical illness insurance coverage begins after a 30-day waiting period.

This partnership aims to expand insurance access to all Ncell users, particularly underserved communities across Nepal. With low entry prices, fully digital onboarding, and impactful coverage, ‘Data Sangai Jeevan Beema’ represents a major step forward in Nepal’s journey toward financial inclusion and social protection.

“We are delighted to partner with MetLife Nepal to strengthen the safety net for our customers across the country. This collaboration goes beyond financial protection; it’s a social commitment that extends insurance coverage to the wider Nepali community at the micro level. At Ncell, creating value for our customers is at the heart of what we do, bringing smiles and positivity to their lives,” said Upanga Dutta, Chief Consumer Business Officer of Ncell.

“At MetLife Nepal, we believe protection is a right, not a privilege. This partnership means that, for the first time, a small, short-term data purchase can give you and your family long-term peace of mind,” said Arun Bahadur Basnet, Chief Distribution Officer of MetLife Nepal.
