L&T my: health Medisure Prime Insurance

 

Objective

A special health insurance policy that aims to provide a wide coverage for hospitalisation expenses, critical illness, maternity and other expenses. The policy also automatically restores the sum assured in case of accidental hospitalisation.

 

Suited for

This policy can be bought for an individual or family to cover spouse and up to two dependent children.

 

What does it do?

The policy offers a bouquet of benefits including hospitalisation benefit, critical illness cover for 10 major illnesses, maternity expenses, automatic restoration of sum insured in case of accidental hospitalisation and other incidental expenses. Maternity expenses will be covered only after four years from inception of the policy. There is a special provision in case of hospitalisation due to accident that can restore the sum insured once the opted cover is exhausted.
For policy premiums, persons paying premium for Zone I, can avail treatment all over India without any sub-limits. Similarly, a person paying premium in Zone II can avail treatment in Zone II and III. If a policyholder paying premiums according to Zone II avails treatment in Zone I, he would have to co-pay 10 per cent of the concerned claim.
A person paying premium in Zone III will be required to bear 10 per cent and 20 per cent if treatment is availed in Zone II and Zone I respectively.

 

Pros

The policy has no sub-limits. It allows lifetime renewal.
It also offers a convalescence benefit to cover expenses during recovery period, after discharge. It also provides for pre and post natal expenses.
Premium paid under this policy will be eligible for tax exemption under Section 80D of Income Tax Act.

 

Our View

This policy offers a broad range of benefits. Automatic restoration of sum insured for hospitalisation due to an accident is a valuable feature but cannot be seen as a substitute of Personal Accident policy as the former does not provide accidental death and disability benefits. Similarly critical illness benefit covers 10 major illnesses whereas, a standalone critical illness covers more illnesses

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.

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 ...
