Apollo Munich Insure Health

Objective

This is a low cost and instant policy wherein, the time lag between submission of proposal form and policy activation is minimal. It aims at relieving proposer of any tedious procedures involved in buying insurance.

 

Suited for

This policy is suitable for young and single individuals as a starter policy only, if their budget does not allow to buy a more comprehensive one. Self, spouse, dependent children and dependent parents can be covered under this policy on an individual sum insured basis.

 

What does it do?

This is an instant policy wherein the Proposer can fill and submit the proposal form at any of Apollo Munich sales counters. Unlike other policies, there is no time lag between submission of form and policy activation. The policy gets authorized at the point of sale itself.
It covers medical expenses incurred as an inpatient in a hospital. Pre and post hospitalisation expenses are covered with a ceiling imposed on maximum claim amount. It also covers Ayurveda, Unani, Sidha and Homeopathy treatments. Hospitalisation expenses of organ donor and day care procedures which do not require a 24-hour stay in a hospital due to technological advancement are also covered. It must be noted however that co-payment clause applies to all the covered expenses, according to which a policyholder has to pay 15 per cent of each admissible claim and insurance company will pay the remaining.

 

Pros

It covers pre and post hospitalisation expenses as well.
In addition to allopathic treatment, it covers traditional forms of treatments such as Ayurveda, Unani, Sidha and Homeopathy, jointly known as 'Ayush'.
Policyholder enjoys a loyalty discount of 5 per cent at the time of renewal.
Family discount of 10 per cent is applicable if two or more members are insured simultaneously.
Sum Insured enhancement is permitted at subsequent renewal.
Premium paid under this policy qualifies for deduction under section 80D of Income Tax Act.

 

Cons

It does not provide for emergency ambulance.
There is a capping on room rent for each sum insured level.
Pre and post hospitalisation cover is capped too.
Cover for 'Ayush' treatment is capped at certain percentage of sum insured.
There is a co-payment clause where policyholder has to bear a certain percentage of every single claim under the policy.

 

Our View

A low cost policy offering narrow coverage. Most of the benefits are capped to certain percentage of sum insured. It may act as a starter policy for young individuals only if budget restrains to buy a more inclusive policy. Once policyholder feels the need of an enhanced cover, the option to shift to another more comprehensive policy may be exercised. Do not get swayed by low policy premiums as the policy offers lesser features as compared to other health policies. Above all, a co-payment clause of 15 per cent on each claim acts as an impingement.

Debt Mutual Fund Dividends are Taxable

DDT is deducted when a non-equity fund declares dividends. Equity and balanced fund dividends are tax-free The AMC is correct to deduct the dividend distribution tax (DDT) as it is mandated by tax laws. DDT in mutual funds is deducted every time a non-equity fund declares dividends. Equity fund and balanced fund dividends are tax-free . It is possible that you have invested in a non-equity fund for the first time or have received the dividend under a non-equity fund for the first time. That is why this is the first occasion when you have come across DDT.   The rate at which non-equity schemes deduct DDT has also gone up after the July 2014 budget. This is due to a change in calculation methodology. Earlier, if the fund has to declare a dividend of R 100, it used to make a provision for R 128.3, paying R 28.3 to the taxman and distributing the balance to the investor. This allowed the investor to bear less tax since the effective tax rate was 22.07 per ce...

Avoid NFOs

  Don't get taken in by the flurry of new fund offers. You will be better off sticking to the tried and tested schemes.   For the past one year, to cash in on the bull run in equities, mutual fund houses have gone on a new fund offer (NFO) overdrive. But experts are unanimous in their advice: avoid NFOs . While past performance is not an indicator of how a fund will fare in the future, it does tell the investor how skilful the fund manager is. This crucial information is missing in an NFO. Not only is there no track record to judge an NFO by, many NFOs are similar to funds that already exist. If the new fund is similar to existing funds, you are better off investing in the latter. Around 67% of the new launches in 2014 were closed-end products. Investing in the NFO of a closed-end fund is doubly risky. In case the fund's performance is lacklustre, a closed-end fund does not allow you to exit. Even though closed-end funds are listed on the stock...
