Oriental Insurance Happy Family Floater Policy

Objective

This is an online policy that can cover entire family for the sum required by policyholder.

 

Suited for

This is a family floater policy that can cover self, spouse, children, parents and parents in laws under a single policy.

 

What does it do?

It is a floater policy where sum insured can be utilized by any member of the insured family, for illnesses or conditions covered under the policy. This policy becomes active when a member uses medical services. It is available in two variants- silver plan and gold plan. Both plans cover hospitalisation benefit and domiciliary treatment costs. Additionally, gold plan offers personal accident cover and life hardship survival benefit. Personal accident benefit covers accidental death and permanent total disability. Life hardship survival benefit covers three fatal diseases and pays a pre-specified sum insured if any insured member contracts a listed illness. Daily cash allowance and attendant's fees is useful and can be used to cover other subsidiary expenses.

 

Pros

This policy can be bought online from company's website.
It offers a wide range of sum insured to choose from.
Premium paid towards this policy will be exempt from tax under Section 80D of Income Tax Act.

 

Cons

Biggest disadvantage is that this policy can be renewed only upto 65 years of age.
There are sub-limits on the policy benefits.
Co-payment clause under silver plan is another limitation.

 

Our View

The sub-limits on the policy benefits, co-payment under Silver plan, narrow coverage under life hardship survival benefit and an incomplete personal accident cover are a few drawbacks that make this policy less preferable over its peers in the market. Life hardship survival benefit covers lesser number of critical illnesses which may not serve the real purpose of such a benefit. Always prefer a health insurance policy that offers lifelong renewals, no sub-limits and least number of exclusions.

Lump Sum or SIP?

Invest Mutual Fund Online     You have a lump sum in hand and you wish to invest in equity funds. However, you have heard a lot of talk about investing in equity funds through Systematic Investment Plans (SIPs) because they help average costs, ensure you do not ill-time the market, and help you invest in small sums, besides giving you many other advantages. So, should you invest the money you have in hand in one go, or let it remain in your bank account and then do an SIP? There is no harm in investing a lump sum amount. For all you know, compounding, over the long term, could work better with lump sum. However, make sure you fulfill all of these three criteria if you want to invest in one go. Else, SIP is the way to go. #1: You invest for the long term According to past data, ideally, if you have a time frame of 12 years or more, you can consider lump sum investing (provided you satisfy the other two conditions that follow). So, what is the sanctity behind 12 years? Is it because only...

Mutual Fund Review: Reliance Regular Savings Balanced

Reliance Regular Savings Balanced fund has shown great resilience during market crash After a shaky start, this fund has established itself as a strong contender in this space. In the past three years it has ridden the market well by not only delivering during the market run-ups but also displaying resilience during the crash. In 2008, it witnessed the second lowest fall among its category and last year it was amongst the top three performers with a return of 76 per cent (category average: 61%).   The poor underperformance in 2006 can well be credited to the low equity allocation of the fund, which stood at just over 10 per cent for only four months that year. Though the fund has the leeway to go up to 75 per cent in equity, it has never touched that limit. In fact, it has exceeded 70 per cent in just five months in its entire history. During the crash of 2008, the fund managers had no problem going right down to 54 per cent (equity exposure). Fund managers Omprakash Kukian and A...

Stock Market Concepts: Derivatives and taxation

DERIVATIVES refer to an instrument, which derives its value from the value of something else — that is, an underlying asset. In India, the derivatives space has traditionally been the playground for large institutional investors who use it for hedging or for speculative activities. However, with time, we have seen a steep augmentation in the per capita income of an average Indian. Consequently, the appetite for investment in alternative instruments has transcended into the need to explore untested territories, and one of the most lucrative of all the available options, is the derivatives. Taxation Of Derivatives: Let's have a sharp overview of how taxability impacts the dealings in futures and options: Futures: Since, there is no transfer or delivery of the underlying asset in case of futures, the income or loss from it cannot be taxed under the head "capital gains". Therefore, depending upon the fact whether the assessee is a trader or an investor, the head of income...
