Insurance companies to cover exclusions too for extra cost

FOR the first time, a general insurer has started covering ‘exclusions’ at a slightly higher premium after the Insurance Regulatory Development Authority (IRDA) allowed partial freedom of wordings. In insurance parlance, ‘exclusions’ relate to developments where insurers will not come up with a compensation. These are explicitly mentioned in the wordings of any policy.

For one, till sometime ago, if there was a fire in a factory, insurers did not pay claims for the equipment that specifically triggered it. The policy only paid for damages caused to other equipment and premises as a result of the fire. From now on, the equipment that caused the fire is also being covered at an extra premium. In insurance parlance, the event of not covering the equipment that sparks off the fire is called the dynamo clause. We are doing away with the dynamo clause in any industrial policy at an extra premium. These are exclusions that have been part of the standard wordings for quite sometime. However, they did not make much sense. Hence, we have decided to cover these too. Similarly, if a machine rotating at high speed, like a mixer, broke and damaged other equipment in the vicinity, the rotating machine would not have been eligible for claims earlier.

Industrial clients were losing out as a result of the dynamo clause, since they had to shell out a sum to replace the equipment that caused the fire, despite having an insurance policy. There have been several cases in different industries where insurers have not paid for replacing the equipment causing trouble.

If a fire is the result of a turbine in an industrial workshop, the affected equipment around it would qualify for payment of claims but not the turbine. HDFC Ergo is also planning to cover losses spelt by personnel of public utilities. Damages to buildings brought on by telephone workers digging up a road near your building were not covered till now. This would now be covered.

How Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) works?

    THE tax season is here. And if you are an employee you can't blame your employer for deducting large chunks of money from your salary towards tax deducted at source ( TDS ), which he is legally obliged to do. Your bank will also deduct some percentage from your FD interest of Rs 10,000 or more towards TDS! So what is this TDS all about? How is it computed? Are there any changes this year? Read on... What is TDS? TDS reduces your taxable income and could even provide tax relief! The TDS collections account for 40 percent of the total taxes collected in the country. As the name suggests TDS is the amount of tax that is deducted at source in certain types of income . The TDS thus collected is deposited in the Government treasury within a specified time. How is it computed? Some of the types of income where TDS is applicable include salary, interest, rental fee, interest on securities, insurance commission, dividends from shares and UTI/Mutual Funds, commission and brokerage

Modern day balanced mutual fund approach

Buy Gold Mutual Funds Invest Mutual Funds Online Download Tax Saving Mutual Fund Application Forms Call 0 94 8300 8300 (India)   In reality, most balanced funds have a strong tilt towards equity instead of a mix of equity and debt THERE are various types of mutual funds available to investors with specific features. Often investors have a particular idea about a specific type of funds in terms of their features and risks, but that is not what is actually available. Therefore, it is necessary for an investor to understand the actual position before picking up a fund. This requires some work on the part of the investor. One example can be the situation with balanced funds. Name is not representative: One of the first things that an investor has to understand is that the name of the fund is often not representative of its investment pattern. The name often represents only the aim of the fund, and not what it actually is.
