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.

Birla SunLife Manufacturing Equity Fund

The Make in India program was launched by Prime Minister Naredra Modi in September 2014 as part of a wider set of nation-building initiatives. It was devised to transform India into a global design and manufacturing hub. The primary motive of the campaign is to encourage multinational as well domestic companies to manufacture their products in India. This would create more job opportunities, bring high-quality standards and attract capital along with technological investment to bring more foreign direct investment (FDI) in the country.   Why India as the next manufacturing destination?   The rising demand in India along with the multinational's desire to diversify their production to include low-cost plants in countries other than China, can help India's manufacturing sector to grow and create millions of jobs. In the words of our Honourable Prime Minister- Mr. Narendra Modi, India offers the 3 'Ds' for business to thrive— democracy,...

Mutual Fund Review: Reliance Regular Savings Equity

    Despite high churn, Reliance Regular Savings Equity has managed to fetch good returns   In its short history, this one has made its mark. Though its annual and trailing returns are amazing, the fund started off on a lousy note (last two quarters of 2005). It managed to impress in 2006 and was turning out to be pretty average in 2007, till Omprakash Kuckian took over in November 2007 and wasted no time in changing the complexion of the portfolio. Exposure to Construction shot up to 28 per cent with almost 21 per cent cornered by Pratibha Industries and Madhucon Projects . Exposure to Engineering was yanked up (18.50%) while Financial Services lost its prime slot (dropped to 6.69%) and Auto was dumped. That quarter (December 2007), he delivered 54.66 per cent (category average: 25.70%).   When the market collapsed in 2008, thankfully the fund did not plummet abysmally. But even its high cash allocations could not cushion the fall which hovered around the category average. ...

Total Returns Index brings out real Equity Funds Performers

From February, equity mutual funds have to change their benchmarks to account for dividend payments. Until now, funds used price-based benchmarks alone. TRI or total return indices assume that dividend payouts are reinvested back into the index. What this does is lift the overall index returns, because dividends get compounded. For example, the Sensex TRI index will consider dividend payouts of its constituent companies while the Nifty50 TRI index will consider dividends of its constituents. Using TRI indices as benchmarks comes on the argument that an equity funds earn dividends on the stocks in its portfolio, which they use to buy more stocks. Therefore, using an index that also considers dividend reinvestment would be a more appropriate benchmark. Shrinking outperformance With a stiffer benchmark, it is obvious that the margin by which an equity fund outperforms the benchmark would shrink. Rolling one-year returns from 2013 onwards, the average margin by which largecap funds out...
