Cancer Insurance in India

 

Health Insurance for Cancer in India

Being one of the deadliest disease, cost of cancer treatment in India whether it is breast, lung, liver cancer etc. is extremely high as it involves chemotherapy, radiation therapy and many other diagnostic tests along with hospitalization expenses. And for a middle class family this high cost drains out their life long savings and more over there is no guarantee for the patients survival. So that is why buying insurance for cancer has become quintessential. Moreover in India every year over 15 Lac cases of cancer are detected and nearly 8 lac people succumb to it. As this number is rising along with the treatment cost, people buying health insurance for cancer is on rise.
In India, insurance for cancer patients is available which covers you against this disease and that too at a very less premium and this has resulted in increased survival rate as patients could now afford treatment costs covered under an insurance policy. Most importantly people aged between 36-55 claims are the highest. As per the claims data, in the year 2011-12 over 45000 claims for cancer were made and overall settlement amount reached to a whopping 163 Crores. According to the experts cancer is the 4th highest among all health conditions for which claims are paid.

Mutual Fund Review: Religare Tax Plan

Tax Plan is one of the better performing schemes from Religare Asset Management. Existing investors can redeem their investment after three years. But given the scheme's performance, they can continue to stay invested   Given the mandated lock-in period of three years, tax saving schemes give the fund manager the leeway to invest in ideas that may take time to nurture. Religare Tax Plan's investment ideas revolve around 'High Growth', which the fund manager has aimed to achieve by digging out promising stories/businesses in the mid-cap segment.

Religare Tax Plan has outperformed BSE 100...

What is better ­ buying or selling a straddle? It depends.Implied volatili ty of options, or near-term expectations of price swings in an un derlier like Nifty , usually peaks before an event and falls when the outcome plays out ­ like Infy re sults in past years.

And this sales pitch often gets louder when the market conditions have been favourable. Some of the agents / distributors / relationship managers have another unique way of luring you.
