Life Insurance

Life insurance is one of the two broad categories of insurance. Before understanding the definition of life insurance, let’s understand what problems do life insurance policies solve in your life.

Types Of Life Insurance

Term insurance is often regarded as the purest form of life insurance as it is a pure risk cover policy and does not have any component of saving. You get only the death benefit in a term insurance plan.

TROP or term insurance with return of premium solves this grievance of the customer and returns all the premiums paid at the end of the term. 

Unlike term insurance plans that cover you for a specific number of years, the whole life insurance plans provide coverage for your whole life. These plans cover you till the age of 100 years and pay you a maturity benefit if you survive 100 years of age.

Most life insurance policies that pay you a maturity benefit at the end of the policy term. However, moneyback policies pay you a regular payout, which is a percentage of the sum assured, during the policy tenure.

These plans are part insurance and part investment. A portion of the premium that you pay for these plans is invested in unit-linked market schemes. Such a long investment period helps you build a substantial amount of corpus.

These life insurance policies have benefits of a life cover as well as lucrative saving opportunities. These policies fulfill your long-term saving goals.

Much like group health insurance policies the group life insurance policies are provided to you by your employer. The cover finishes once you leave the company.

A child insurance policy is designed to protect the future of a child. It provides a death benefit to the child if he/she loses a parent. This fund can be traditional as well as unit linked.

These plans counter the ill-effects of living too long beyond your working age. From this fund you are paid pensions which can keep you afloat when you are not making any active income.

The Main Benefits Of Life Insurance Policies

And the number of road accidents was 1,35,051- which accounted for 2.8% of the total crimes. Looking at the statistics of theft and accidental cases in the country, it is extremely crucial that you purchase an insurance plan for your vehicle. It is mandatory by the government for every person who owns a motor vehicle to buy a third-party motor insurance policy- so it is really a matter of law.

As the name suggests, motor insurance is insurance for motor vehicles. It offers financial protection against loss or damages caused to the motor vehicle because of an accident, theft, a natural calamity, etc. It provides cover to you, the insured vehicle, a third-party person, and their property.

Two Important Things You Should Note

  • Irrespective of whether you’re purchasing motor insurance online or offline, it is important that you purchase it from a company authorized by the Insurance and Regulatory Authority of India (IRDAI)

Why Should You Purchase A Motor Insurance Policy?

The fine for driving without insurance starts from Rs. 2,000 for the first offense and Rs. 4,000 for the subsequent offense.

Now a days, cost of purchasing a new vehicle is high but cost of repairing a vehicle is also very high. A motor insurance policy provides financial protection to you against any unforeseen events like accidents, theft, or any other serious damage to your motor vehicle.

A motor insurance plan offers protection against a variety of risks e.g. from thefts to accidents, from manmade disasters to natural calamities, etc. Further, it won’t just provide protection to your own vehicle; but you will also be protected against any legal liabilities owing to damages or financial losses caused to a third party person or property.

 

Health Insurance

Good health is the foundation of happiness. But factors like smoking, alcohol consumption, climate change, increased population, etc. makes us more susceptible to health problems. What if you or your loved ones face a sudden medical emergency? What if you don’t have enough funds to afford the treatment? That sounds pretty scary, doesn’t it?

While no one likes thinking about the possibility of being injured or hospitalised, it is pertinent to be prepared for any scenario because the financial impact of these treatments can be huge. You should buy health insurance as soon as possible to protect yourself and your family. It acts as a cushion against these expenses.

What Is covered Under Health Insurance

A health insurance plan is essentially a comprehensive cover for hospitalisation expenses. Here’s a quick look at what it covers –

Expenses incurred during hospital stays are covered by health insurance policies. Hospitalisation costs include medical treatment expenses, room rent, ICU charges etc.

Pre-hospitalization costs are the costs incurred before undergoing treatment or getting admitted to a hospital. These include blood tests, X-rays, OPD consultations etc.

Health insurance also covers the expenses you incur after you are discharged from the hospital, called post-hospitalization costs. These costs include follow-up visits to your doctor, diagnostic tests, rehabilitation, etc.

During an organ transplant surgery, the organ donor may incur surgery costs and hospitalisation expenses. These costs are covered under most health insurance plans.

Some surgeries or treatments, such as gallbladder removal, hernia, chemotherapy etc., are completed in a few hours and don’t require hospitalisation. The costs associated with these treatments are covered by health insurance.

When you can’t move to the hospital due to non-availability of beds, an injury/illness where shifting is impossible, or any other reason – you can opt to receive the treatment at home. This is called Domiciliary Hospitalisation. A majority of health insurance policies cover expenses associated with domiciliary hospitalisation.

Why Should You Purchase Health Insurance?

The changing lifestyle of the global population has led to an increase in diseases at a younger age. Fast-paced living, pollution, stress, and unhealthy habits all contribute to the occurrence of unexpected ailments. Health insurance is a guarantee of financial protection against medical expenses. And it’s best to invest in a plan as soon as possible, as there are stringent checks by insurers. They may decline to cover you, limit the benefits, or ask you to pay a higher premium as you grow older or contract a disease.

Treatment costs rise along with medical technology improvements and disease outbreaks. If we factor in an inflation of 8%, a hospital bill of 3 Lakhs today will rise to 30 Lakhs in 30 years. Without proper financial planning, these costs may severely deplete your finances.

During times of sickness, the last thing you need to worry about is how you’re going to pay for your treatment. And, it’s natural to want the best possible healthcare for your family or yourself. Health insurance is something you can bank on for quality treatment and services.

To top it off, health insurance premiums are also eligible for tax benefits under Section 80D of the Income Tax Act, 1961. Investing in health insurance plans can get you a tax deduction of up to Rs. 50,000. If you buy health insurance for your elderly parents, you are entitled to receive an additional deduction of Rs. 50,000.

And mind you, treatment abroad can be filthy expensive. Also, these plans cover you for medical evacuation and repatriation. Medical evacuation means that the patient would be flown to the nearest country where the required treatment is available. And repatriation means that the mortal remains of the deceased would be sent back home.
