Super Top up Plan vs Critical Illness Plan

 
Buy Health Insurance Online



There is no 'one size fits all' approach. For some people, buying both may make sense


There is no 'one size fits all' answer to this. Different people may have different needs and for some, buying both may make sense. Here is a brief description of both:


Critical illness plans pay a lump sum to a policyholder on diagnosis of serious ailments listed in the policy document. Importantly, the sum assured is paid out irrespective of whether you are hospitalised or not. Unlike a regular health insurance plan, a critical illness plan terminates once the payout is made. A critical illness can often mean loss of income, total or partial disability and change in lifestyle. The financial burden could be far more than what an indemnity health plan, which pays hospital bills, would cover. If you have a family history of any chronic illness, then a critical illness cover may not be a bad idea. Read through the fine print of exclusions and what diseases are covered. Some companies cover upto 37 illnesses whereas some cover only 12. You can consider Apollo Munich Optima Vital and ICICI Prudential Crisis Cover. Apollo Munich covers 37 critical illnesses while ICICI Prudential covers 35. You must go through the policy details thoroughly.


Super top-up plans provide additional health insurance cover, over and above your existing health plan. These plans enhance your health coverage for lower premium than what a regular health plan would charge. Unlike critical illness plans, regular health plans work on indemnity principle where the plan compensates to the extent of actual expenses incurred subject to the ceiling of sum insured. A regular health plan covers your hospitalization expenses, pre and post hospitalization expenses and some pre specified day care procedures. It does not terminate after a claim is made. United India Super Top Up policy, Religare Enhance Super top up and Apollo Munich Optima Super are some of the good ones. Be sure to go through the policy document and policy brochure carefully. Also pay attention to the exclusions and waiting period.

Impact of Demonetisation

The government's move to demonetise `500 and `1,000 currency notes will immediately impact reserve money and money supply in the system along with the balance sheet of the Reserve Bank of India, the sole authority in the country for accepting currency notes and coins as legal tender. ET explains the interplay of currency, reserve money and money supply. 1. What is currency in circulation? It is the total value of currency (coins and paper currency) that has ever been issued by the central bank minus the amount that has been withdrawn by it. Currency in circulation comprises currency notes and coins with the public and cash in hand with banks. It is a major liability component of a central bank's balance sheet. 2. What is reserve money?

Should you Roll Over 1 year Fixed Maturity Plans?

The period between January and March typically sees an uptick in the launch of fixed maturity plans, or FMPs. Not this year. Instead, fund houses are busy rolling over or extending the tenure of their one- year FMPs launched last year to three years. Investors in one- year FMPs have a choice. Either redeem units or roll over to three years. If you exit now, your gains will be added to your income and taxed in line with your individual slab rate of 10, 20 or 30 per cent. If you stay invested for two more years, you pay 20 per cent tax with indexation benefit. Yields have softened in the past few months on expectations of a rate cut. If the central bank continues its soft monetary stance, yields are likely to fall further. In such a scenario, it makes sense for investors, particularly those in the 30 per cent tax bracket, to roll over their investments and lock in at a higher yield now. In a surprise move, the Reserve Bank of India cut repo rate by 25 basis
