HOW many times have you thought about your insurance policies and worried about the safety of the documents? There are a lot of times when keeping this investment safe and secure becomes a problem for individuals. While all the other routes of investment now have the demat facility, this has not yet been witnessed in the insurance space.

But, this need not be the case for a long because the good news is that a demat account for your insurance policies could soon become a reality.

Efforts undertaken: There are reports that the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority (Irda) is working on putting a system in place that will enable holding of insurance policies in demat or electronic form. The way in which the system proposes to work is that it will be introduced initially for life insurance policies.

These policies are usually similar in nature, even though different insurance companies offer them, and, hence, the facility would make the life insurance segment simpler. The facility for general insurance policies will be introduced at a later date, and, so, if the system works well, then it can be extended to the other areas of insurance also.

Ease of effort: There will be an ease of effort for getting an insurance policy once this system is put in place. At present, there is some work involved at the time of purchase of every insurance policy.

A prospective customer has to provide proof of identity and proof of address and these details will be verified. With an electronic account, all these details will be available with the account, and, hence, there would not be a requirement to submit these information every time a policy is bought. The advantage of this is that the process can be completed smoothly, without requiring a lot of documents, as is the situation now.

On the other hand, there will also be a quicker and easier way to get a new policy because a lot of the work will already be completed, so, the selection and the payment of premium would be the only things left to do.

No preservation worries: Another major concern for a lot of people is the preservation of the insurance policy and the submission of this at the time of filing a claim. Storing the policy in a safe place is a major task due to the fact that these policies are often for 20-25 years and keeping the physical documents for this time period often leads to some problems, especially, if there is flooding or some natural calamity in the interim period.

Often, these documents are misplaced and this leads to another round of work on getting another duplicate set. All this would no longer be necessary because the electronic version does not pose these challenges.


Similar structure helps: Life insurance policies in India are not yet tailormade for specific individuals in the sense that these have features that are largely common, therefore, the policyholders will then be subject to the terms and conditions of the policy. Since these policies are so similar, it is also possible for these to be in the electronic form and be used in a proper manner.

On the other hand, it also lays the ground for further action in terms of additional ways by which the complexity of the policies can be raised and this will be easily assimilated into the entire system that has been set.

All this would work out very efficiently going forward, so, policyholders will benefit from the many variations in the policies without major disruptions to the system.

Short-Term Investment Options in Mutual Funds

Mutual funds offer liquid funds and ultra short term funds in the debt category, which are suitable for short investment periods. Ultra short-term funds were earlier known as liquid plus funds. Liquid funds invest in money market instruments with a maturity of 91 days or less. However, there are no such restrictions for ultra short-term funds. Who should invest in these? These are open-ended schemes. Investors with a short investment horizon or with surplus cash and low risk appetite should look at these. These could include corporate as well as retail investors. Those interested in staying invested for less than 15 days can opt for liquid funds. Retail investors who want to remain invested for two-four months, can look at ultra short-term funds. The short duration for both liquid and ultra short-term funds shields them from any interest rate volatility.   What kind of returns do they offer? In terms of an investment period less than 15 days, these funds are comparable to a ba...

Mutual Fund Reivew: Birla Sun Life Asset Allocation Conservative

Birla Sun Life Asset Allocation Conservative has numbers on its side to prove its credibility… Don't be surprised to find this Fund of Funds ( FoF ) in our recommendations. It has earned its place. And despite the difference in the structure of the product, there is no arguing with the numbers.   Of the total 6 years of its existence, the fund has been among the top 10 funds in its category in four of them. Last year it put up an average show and the only year it underperformed its peers was in 2008.   One aspect to look at when investing in an FoF is the expense ratio. The expense ratio of an FoF is capped at a lower limit of 0.75 per cent (2.50% for an actively managed fund). However, the FoF not only has its own expense (though lower) but even the expense ratio of the fund it is investing into. Fortunately, the fund manager takes that into account. "Expense is one of the important criteria used for fund selection and is the main reason for our investment in BSL Ind...
