PNB Met Suraksha Plus

Objective

This is an offline insurance policy that pays sum assured to the family members in case of unfortunate demise of the insured member.

What does it do?

A term plan that pays Sum Assured in case of inopportune death of the life insured. There is no maturity or surrender value. USP of the plan lies in where the company proposes to reduce the premiums of existing policies in case the product undergoes re- pricing and premiums of the plan decrease at anytime in future however, it will not increase the premiums in case of an upward price change during re-pricing.

Pros

Premium rates will reduce for existing policyholders in case the rates are revised downward, and remain unchanged in case of a hike.
High sum assured policies can avail lower premium rates.
The policy offers coverage for longer tenure of 35 years.
One can add riders for wider coverage. A lapsed policy can be reinstated within 3 years. Premiums paid toward the policy qualify for tax benefits.

Cons

Riders can be attached only at the time of purchase.

Suited for

Those who prefer agent's assistance in buying a policy can take this policy.

Our View

Term plans are the best kind of life insurance available. If you cannot buy a policy without agent's assistance, you may take this policy. However, if you are comfortable with online purchases, look for online policies as they have lower premium rates. You can avail riders for a marginal increase in premium and enhance the scope of coverage.

Group Health Insurance

Buy Group Health Insurance Online   For Human Resources, the biggest challenge today is to decide whether medical benefits should be offered to employees or not, what type of plans should be offered, what will be the cost and how will the cost be split between employees and employer. Well, most of these are subjective and would depend on a lot of factors including company size, average employee salary, etc. However, this article will give you a fair idea on how you should go about deciding these factors: 1. Why offer group health insurance benefit to employees : Studies have proved that retention rates among employers offering GHI are much higher than the ones who are not offering. Moreover, the cost of providing this benefit as a percentage of salary is very low as compared to the perceived value. As an example, say if average salary of an employee in your organization is 4 LPA. If you decide to offer a health insurance benefit to him for a Sum insured of ...

Commercial Paper (CP)

Invest Mutual Funds Online Download Mutual Fund Application Forms Commercial Paper (CP): These are issued by corporate entities in denominations of Rs.2.5mn and usually have a maturity of 90 days. CPs can also be issued for maturity periods of 180 and one year but the most active market is for 90 day CPs.   Two key regulations govern the issuance of CPs-firstly, CPs have to be compulsorily rated by a recognized credit rating agency and only those companies can issue CPs which have a short term rating of at least P1. Secondly, funds raised through CPs do not represent fresh borrowings for the corporate issuer but merely substitute a part of the banking limits available to it. Hence, a company issues CPs almost always to save on interest costs ie it will issue CPs only when the environment is such that CP issuance will be at rates lower than the rate at which it borrows money from its banking consortium. ----------------------...
