Chola MS Top Up Healthline

Objective

A top-up policy that becomes active only with medical expenses above a certain limit. It is meant to be bought as an additional policy to take care of hefty claims.

 

Suited for

This policy is more effective for those who already have a basic health insurance cover and wish to increase the protection further. Those who do not hold any health insurance policy may also go in for this policy if they can pay small medical bills that are not covered by the top-up policy. This policy is available for both individual and family on a floater basis.

 

What does it do?

It is a top up plan that gets activated only when the claim crosses the deductible limit. A deductible is that portion of claim which has to be borne either by an existing policy or by the policyholder himself. In this plan, deductible limit applies afresh each time insured person is hospitalized during the policy term. For instance, an insured accesses hospitalisation services twice during a policy term. For the first time the total medical expenses amounted to Rs 2 lakh and Rs 2.5 lakh during second hospitalisation. If the deductible limit on his policy was Rs 3 lakh, the policyholder will not receive insurance benefit of this policy as the admissible claim expenses were below the deductible limit each time. This policy offers a wide range of deductible starting from as low as Rs 30,000 up to Rs 5 lakh.
It covers hospitalisation expenses including doctor's fee, nursing, room charges up to the daily limit stated in the policy document, ICU charges, oxygen, OT charges, anesthesia and other expenses incurred as an inpatient. This plan can be bought as an individual or as a family floater policy.

 

Pros

Premiums paid under this plan qualify for deduction under Section 80D of Income Tax Act.
Policyholder can escape from hassle of paying premiums annually by selecting a higher policy term of 2 or 3 years.
It provides for lifelong renewals as there is no policy ceasing age.
There is no need to undertake pre-policy medical check up upto 55 years of entry age.

 

Cons

There is capping on room rent expenses.
Deductible applies afresh on each claim.

 

Our View

Add-on plans are not intended to duplicate the existing cover, these plans are rather meant to pay for higher claims which are beyond the reach of basic insurance plans. Instead of buying another insurance policy, a top up is recommended if your current insurance cover seems inadequate. The only constraint to this product is that threshold limit applies to every single treatment undertaken as an inpatient in a hospital. In contrast, there are certain policies in the market that cover each hospitalisation after the expenses of previous hospitalisation(s) put together exceed threshold. Such top-up policies have an edge over the policies where deductible applies on each claim.

Tata Mutual Fund

Being a part of the Tata group, the fund has the backing of a very trusted brand name with strong retail connect. While the current CEO has done an excellent job in leveraging the Tata brand name to AMC's advantage, it is ironic that this was just not capitalised on at the start. Incorporated in 1995, Tata Mutual Fund remained an 'also-ran' fund house for around eight years. Till March 2003, it had a little over Rs 1,000 crore in assets and 19 AMCs were ahead of it. But soon after that the equation changed. It was the fastest growing fund house in 2004 and 2005. During these two years, it aggressively launched six equity funds, two debt funds and one MIP. The fund house as of now stands at No. 8 in terms of asset size. This fund house has a lot to offer by way of choice. And, it also has a number of well performing schemes. Tata Pure Equity, Tata Equity PE and Tata Infrastructure are all good funds. It also has quite a few good debt funds. The funds of Tata AMC are known to...

UTI Mutual Fund

Even though only a few of UTI’s funds are great performers, this public sector fund house has many advantages that its rivals do not. It has a huge base of retail equity investors and a vast distribution network. As a business, it looks stronger than ever, especially in the aftermath of credit crunch. UTI is, by a large margin, the most profitable fund company in the country. This is not surprising, since managing equity funds is more profitable than debt. Its conservative approach and stable parentage is likely to make it look more attractive to investors in times to come. UTI’s big problem is the dragging performance that many of its equity funds suffer from. In recent times, the management has made a concerted effort to improve performance. However, these moves have coincided with a disastrous phase in the stock markets and that has made it impossible to judge whether the overhaul will eventually be a success. UTI’s top performers are a few index funds, some hybrid funds and its inf...

Salary planning Article

1. The salary (basic + DA) should be low. The rest should come by way of such allowances on which the employer pays FBT and you don't pay any tax thereon. 2. Interest paid on housing loan is deductible u/s 24 up to Rs 1.5 lakh (Rs 150,000) on self-occupied property and without any limit on a commercial or rented house. 3. The repayment of housing loan from specified sources is also deductible irrespective of whether the house is self-occupied or given on rent within the overall ceiling of Rs 1 lakh of Sec. 80C. 4. Where the accommodation provided to the employee is taken on lease by the employer, the perk value is the actual amount of lease rental or 20 per cent of the salary, whichever is lower. Understandably, if the house belongs to a family member who is at a low or nil tax zone the family benefits. Yes, the maximum benefit accrues when the rent is over 20 per cent of the salary. 5. A chauffeur driven motor car provided by the employer has no perk value. True, the company would...

8 Investing Strategy

The stock market ‘meltdown’ witnessed since the start of 2005 (notwithstanding the recent marginal recovery) has once again brought to the forefront an inherent weakness existent in our markets. This is the fact that FIIs, indisputably and almost entirely, dominate the Indian stock market sentiments and consequently the market movements. In this article, we make an attempt to list down a few points that would aid an investor in mitigating the risks and curtailing the losses during times of volatility as large investors (read FIIs) enter and exit stocks. Read on Manage greed/fear: This is an important point, which every investor must keep in mind owing to its great influencing ability in equity investment decisions. This point simply means that in a bull run - control the greed factor, which could entice you, the investor, to compromise with your investment principles. By this we mean that while an investor could get lured into investing in penny and small-cap stocks owing to their eye-...

Debt Funds - Check The Expiry Date

This time we give you an insight into something that most debt fund investors would be unaware of, the Average Portfolio Maturity. As we all know, debt funds invest in bonds and securities. These instruments mature over a certain period of time, which is called maturity. The maturity is the length of time till the principal amount is returned to the security-holder or bond-holder. A debt fund invests in a number of such instruments and each of these instruments would be having different maturity times. Hence, the fund calculates a weighted average maturity, which would give a fair idea of the fund's maturity period. For example, if a fund owns three bonds of 2-year (Rs 30,000), 3-year (Rs 10,000) and 5-year (Rs 20,000) maturities, its weighted average maturity would be 3.17 years. What is the big deal about average maturity then, you may ask. Well, knowing a fund's average maturity is important because it tells you how sensitive a fund is to the change in interest rates. It is ...
