One cannot make claims for regular hospitalisation or non-critical medical condition under these policies

THE PRODUCT: Aviva Life Insurance's new health plan, Aviva Health Secure, is an exclusive online product. It is a critical illness policy that provides the policyholder with a lump sum amount on diagnoses of any of the 12 critical illness listed. The idea is to ensure that the family has adequate funds to meet the unplanned medical expenses.


WHAT ARE THE OPTIONS: The product promises a sum insured ranging between Rs 5,00,000 to Rs 50,00,000. The premium can be paid annually or half yearly.

WHAT IT PROMISES: The product provides protection against 12 major critical illnesses like heart attack, stroke, cancer, end-stage kidney failure, major organ transplant and coronary artery bypass surgery among others. Since it is a pure health insurance product, nothing is payable in case of death, surrender or maturity.

WHO CAN BUY IT: Individuals between 18 to 55 years are eligible to buy the product. The policy term ranges from 10 to 30 years.

WHAT IS DIFFERENT ABOUT THIS: Unlike regular health insurance products offered by the are non-life companies that indemnity based, Aviva Health Secure offers the policyholder a lump sum based on the sum assured for each of the illnesses, irrespective of the hospital bills.

WHAT ARE THE EXCEPTIONS: Claims can be placed only if the critical illness has been diagnosed after 90 days of the policy commencement date or the date of reinstatement.
WHAT IS THE PREMIUM PAYMENT: According to company's premium calculator, the annual premium for a 35-year-old male looking for a sum insured of Rs 10,00,000, for a 10-year term works out to Rs 2,831. For a 40-year-old woman looking to buy a Rs 8,00,000 sum insured policy, for a 10 year tenure, the annual premium would be Rs 4,252.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS: Premiums paid towards this policy may be eligible for tax benefits as per Section 80D of Income Tax Act 1961.


Critical illness policies are aimed at easing the financial burden when a family member is diagnosed with a critical illness. Though they offer benefits such as proving a lump sum on diagnosis of illness, one should also check the possibility of acquiring any of the illnesses. One cannot make claims for regular hospitalisation or non-critical medical condition under these policies. Those people who are sole breadwinners of a family, have two or more dependents, and can afford to pay a high premium, can go for these.

How to Decide your asset allocation with Mutual Funds?

Invest In Tax Saving Mutual Funds Online Download Tax Saving Mutual Fund Application Forms Buy Gold Mutual Funds Call 0 94 8300 8300 (India) How to Decide your asset allocation ? The funds that base their equity allocation on market valuation have given stable returns in the past. Pick these if you are a buy-and-forget investor. Small investors are often victims of greed and fear. When markets are rising, greed makes the small investor increase his exposure to stocks. And when stocks crash to low levels, fear makes him redeem his investments. But there are a few funds that avoid this risk by continuously changing the asset mix of their portfolios. Their allocation to equity is not based on the fund manager's outlook for the market, but on its valuations. Our top pick is the Franklin Templeton Dynamic PE Ratio Fund, a fund of funds that divides its corpus between two schemes from the same fund house-the...

All about "Derivatives"

What are derivatives? Derivatives are financial instruments, which as the name suggests, derive their value from another asset — called the underlying. What are the typical underlying assets? Any asset, whose price is dynamic, probably has a derivative contract today. The most popular ones being stocks, indices, precious metals, commodities, agro products, currencies, etc. Why were they invented? In an increasingly dynamic world, prices of virtually all assets keep changing, thereby exposing participants to price risks. Hence, derivatives were invented to negate these price fluctuations. For example, a wheat farmer expects to sell his crop at the current price of Rs 10/kg and make profits of Rs 2/kg. But, by the time his crop is ready, the price of wheat may have gone down to Rs 5/kg, making him sell his crop at a loss of Rs 3/kg. In order to avoid this, he may enter into a forward contract, agreeing to sell wheat at Rs 10/ kg, right at the outset. So, even if the price of wheat falls ...

Benefits Of Repo Rate & CRR Rate Cut On Consumers

  How Reduction In Repo Rate & CRR Affects Customers Finally  RBI announced slashing of repo rate by 25 basis points (bps ) and cash reserve ratio (CRR) by 25 bps which industry experts believe will fuel the economic growth to some extent. Although experts were expecting higher rate cut this year. This lowering of the rate cuts has taken place for the first time in nine months. Now let's see how reducing the repo rate (defined in economic term as the rate at which RBI lends money to the banks) relates to the following individuals and sectors: Banking:   Lowering of repo rate directly reduces borrowing costs of a bank.

Zero Coupon Bonds or discount bond or deep discount bond

A ZERO-COUPON bond (also called a discount bond or deep discount bond ) is a bond bought at a price lower than its face value with the face value repaid at the time of maturity.   There is no coupon or interim payments, hence the term zero-coupon bond. Investors earn return from the compounded interest all paid at maturity plus the difference between the discounted price of the bond and its par (or redemption) value. In contrast, an investor who has a regular bond receives income from coupon payments, which are usually made semi-annually. The investor also receives the principal or face value of the investment when the bond matures. Zero-coupon bonds may be long or short-term investments.   Long term zero coupon maturity dates typically start at 10 years. The bonds can be held until maturity or sold on secondary bond markets.
