KEEPING in mind the propensity of Indians for being underinsured, and the country having one of the highest ratios of privately paid for health services, Apollo Munich Health Insurance has launched a new mediclaim policy that will pay claims even after you have exhausted the sum insured limit for the year. The scheme called 'Optima Restore' reinstates the basic sum insured in case a customer exhausts the amount up to which he can file for hospitalisation claims in a policy year.

Antony Jacob, chief executive officer at Apollo Munich Health Insurance, said, Assuming you have an individual or a family floater policy of Rs 3,00,000, and during any sickness, you exhaust your full sum insured, we will restore the entire sum insured at no extra charge, so that you or your family can remain covered against any other illness till the end of the policy term

However, there is a catch.


You cannot, in the same year, make further claims under the restore benefit for diseases, which were already paid for once. That means, you will not be insured against the same sickness again in that year, although, claims for those diseases in the second year can well be made.

In the scheme, the company increases the basic sum insured by 50 per cent as a no-claim bonus in case of a claim-free year. In case, you don't claim even in the second year, the insurer gives another 50 per cent of the original basic sum assured as a further no-claim bonus. Other insurers normally give a no-claim bonus of between 5 to 10 per cent of the basic sum assured as a no-claim bonus and have a cap of maximum 50 per cent bonus on the sum assured.

TDS Rate and Personal Account Number(PAN)

    The TDS rate doubles to 20% from 10% if you fail to mention your Personal Account Number   IF you run a glance through your pay slip, you will come across something called TDS, which is tax deduction at source. In most cases, the employer deducts this amount at the time of payment of salary itself and pays the total tax amount to the government on behalf of all the employees. If you are a self- employed or practicing professional s, you have to pay this amount yourself.    Tax deducted at source is one of the modes of income tax collection by the government. Under the income-tax laws, income tax at specified rates is required to be deducted while making certain payments.    The rate of deduction of tax at source on interest and rent payment is 10%.

Fortis Mutual Fund

Fortis Mutual Fund, a relatively new player, it is still to prove its case and define its position in the industry. In September 2004, it came onto the scene with a bang - three debt schemes, one MIP and one diversified equity scheme. And investors flocked to it. Going by the standards at that time, it had a great start in terms of garnering money. Mopping up over Rs 2,000 crore in five schemes was not bad at all. The fund house has not been too successful in the equity arena, in terms of assets. Though it has seven equity schemes, it is debt and cash funds that corner the major portion of the assets. Most of the schemes are pretty new, and the two that have been around for a while have a 3-star rating each. The last two were Fortis Sustainable Development (April 2007), which received a rather poor response, and Fortis China India (October 2007). Fortis Flexi Debt has been one of the better performing funds, after a dismal performance in 2005. It currently has a 5-star rating. None ...

Banks tweak ATM strategies

Unrestricted usage of third-party ATMs ends on Thursday The era of free ATM usage will come to an end on Thursday, October 15. Every transaction carried out on another bank’s ATM could cost an account holder as much as Rs 20 and withdrawals will face a limit of Rs 10,000, the Indian Bank’s Association has said in its guidelines. According to the guidelines, banks can offer savings-account holders five free thirdparty withdrawals every month —they can be charged from the sixth transaction onwards. Current account holders can be charged the fees, which ranges from Rs 18 to Rs 20, from the very first transaction. Most banks are convinced that charging current account and no-frill account customers from the word go is a good idea. It suggests that the usage of ATMs by current-account holders is price-insensitive. For others, banks have decided to frame their charges depending on the profile of the customer. For instance, HDFC Bank is allowing its salary account and premium customers an unl...

Women need to plan for Retirement

Plan for Retirement Online       Higher life expectancy, lower pay and fewer work years necessitate thorough planning.   Women have raced ahead of men in various fields but, when it comes to retirement planning, they tend to lag behind. Despite saving a higher proportion of their salary, compared to men, women generally do not take retirement planning seriously. Below are some of the reasons why they should: According to the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs, in India, the life expectancy of women is 69 years and, of men, it's 66 years. Due to this, a woman will need an additional `55 lakh to manage her living expenses (see table).Besides, usually, women work fewer years compared to men to take care of children and family.Further, a recent study by Korn Ferry Hay Group shows that women in India earn 18.8% less than men. Not to mention, a higher life expectancy can also mean higher medical expenses as the likelihood of health ailments such as diabetes, high...
