Call 0 94 8300 8300 (India)

 

Objective

This is a top-up plan that pays when medical expenses exceed the deductible amount. Deductible is the limit up to which the insured has to pay before the insurance company takes over.

 

Suited for

This policy is suitable for those already covered under a basic health insurance policy looking to increase the sum insured. A top-up plan can lower the impact of rising medical costs. Those who don't want to mark claims for small medical bills can also go for this policy.

 

What does it do?

This health insurance plan covers inpatient treatment if one is hospitalised for more than 24 hours. It covers medical expenses, room rent, boarding, surgeon fee, anesthetist fee and specialist fee up to the sum insured. It also indemnifies hospitalisation expenses incurred for donor in case of an organ transplant. Treatments that do not require 24-hour hospitalisation are covered under day care procedures.
Ambulance charges are payable up to Rs 2,500 per hospitalisation.

 

Pros

Premiums paid under this plan qualify for deduction under Section 80D of Income Tax Act. No pre policy medical check up is required up to 45 years of age.

 

Our View

This policy is suitable if there are chances of taking an expensive medical treatment. Otherwise, it is advised to go for the Super Top-up policy, another plan offered by United India where the deductible limit is calculated by summing up annual medical expenses. Though Super Top-up policies are slightly expensive, they offer better risk coverage.

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. Within the space, consumer staples has been the centre of attention for the last couple of years and can be seen as one of the key reasons for the scheme's outperformance as compared to the broader market. It has, however, tweaked its focus and reduced exposure in midcaps as they were commanding a high premium. The strategy seems to have worked as it returned a 22% gain last year. Religare Tax Plan has outperformed BSE 100...

Nifty F&O

  1. What is a straddle? A strategy using Nifty options usually before a major event or when one is uncertain of market direction. Comprises purchase of a Nifty call and put option of the same strike price. Usually strikes are purchased closer to the level of the underlying index. 2. 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. However, once the event plays out, a sharp rise or fall in Nifty could result in price of the straddle rising ­ benefiting buy ers. But, normally , those who sell or write options charge hefty premiums from buyers in the hope that fall in volatility would ensure the options end out-of-the-money, hurting buyers. 3.
