The Bottom Line
1- Maximum Sum Insured is ONLY 5 lacs. Any critical disease like Heart Attack, Cancer and related treatment today needs minimum 5-10 lacs in good hospital and this will rise in future with inflation.
2- You have to buy policy for three years in one go, you cannot use the health insurance portability option, which will be coming from 1st October'2011. So you have to stay with the company even if you don't like the services or product.

Please don't buy this policy by ignoring your existing health insurance/mediclaim policy. Buy only as a add on to existing health insurance policy.

Understanding Your Cibil Credit Information Report

   WE ARE all familiar with the anxiety and uncertainty that we feel when applying for a loan. After all, it's the lender who decides whether we can own our dream home, our first car, or whether our children can pursue higher education. In a nutshell, a better life depends on the lender's decisions.    While other factors do play a part in the lender's decision, the Cibil Credit Information Report ( CIR ) plays a crucial role in a lender's decision to approve a loan application.    Previously, lenders would treat all loan seekers equally. Each applicant, if approved by the lender's internal credit policy, would be charged at the same interest rate for a particular loan size and purpose. The lenders would charge a higher interest rate to all the borrowers, in order to compensate for the possible default of a small portion of the loan disbursed. In other words, it's like a professor (the lender) punishing an entire class (borrowers) for the mischief played b...

SBI Small Cap Fund

SBI Small Cap Fund scheme seeks to provide investors with opportunities for long-term growth in capital along with the liquidity of an open-ended scheme by investing predominantly in a well diversified basket of equity stocks of small cap companies. SBI Small Cap Fund has widened its margin of outperformance relative to its category and benchmark in the last one year, earning itself a five-star rating. The fund shows a hefty 18 percentage-point outperformance relative to its peers in the last one year, 5 percentage points over three years and 4 percentage points over five years.
