Why Does One Need Health Insurance And What Would Happen If One Does Not Take It Up?

Mr Suraj is 32 years of age and his wife is 30 years. Both of them exercise regularly and are in the peak of health. The premiums for a family floater for Mr Suraj his spouse and a single child are in the range of INR 8000-9000 for a coverage of INR 4-5 Lakhs..Mr Suraj believes he does not need a health insurance policy as it is a waste of money .Over the next 5 years Mr Suraj would incur costs of INR 50000 for a health policy which he believes he could have invested in the stock markets for high returns .So What Advice Would One Give Him?

Mr Suraj has discounted acts of God such as an accident or even a disease like Jaundice which in a metro like Mumbai can cost in excess of INR 30000 .A major accident could set Mr Suraj back by INR 2 Lakhs. His investment deals and expected profits in the share market would disappear in seconds. Anyone can suffer from a disease and exercise alone cannot guarantee ones health. It would be a major relief financially and mentally for Mr Suraj if he takes up a family floater plan for his family as not only can he financially cover himself , it can also be a major stress buster for Mr Suraj’s family.

What Is The Use In Locking The Stable After The Horse Has Bolted?

Many times one must have heard from one’s friends how they state they can purchase that health policy after they fall ill. What Reply Would You Give Your Friends? This is a classic case of locking the stable after the horse has bolted .A preexisting disease is basically a health condition suffered by an individual before taking up a health policy. This information may be deliberately suppressed by an individual or a policy may be taken after the disease is detected. Diseases such as diabetes and hypertension are covered after two to four years of continuous claim free renewals. No claim must be made by the claimant with some other insurance company for the same disease or complications arising out of this disease during this period. Co payment might also be necessary or an additional premium might have to be paid to cover these diseases .One must surely have heard this regret among the top 10 regrets of all time. What If I Had Purchased That Health Policy When I Was Younger And In Good health?

Insufficient Sum Assured

Would one start building a house with insufficient construction material. It would look like an ancient ruin wouldn’t it? In a similar way one must surely insure oneself for a reasonable amount considering his health condition. This amount should be sufficient to cover hospitalization charges, Doctors charges as well as treatment charges. Surely one has to factor all this in that health policy.

In Youth We Learn, In Old Age We Understand

In a recent survey conducted in India data showed the youth and households in urban areas hardly cared to purchase a health policy. This was widely noticed among the youth in the Southern part of our country. Even in youth and households earning above a Crore no heed was paid to that health policy. Across India only 25% of the households have health insurance and in the lower income category of urban India it is an abysmal 2%.The Western parts of India have the highest health cover with over half the households with income of 1 Crore taking up a health policy.

Change Your Thoughts And You Change Your World

IndianMoney.com believes that each and every individual of our nation especially the youth should take up a health insurance policy. None of us has seen the future and being forewarned it is necessary for one to be forearmed. It is necessary for one to understand never to sit on important things but to do the needful at the earliest.IndianMoney.com also believes that one should pick up that health policy in one’s youthful days and maintain claim free years in order to procure loyalty benefits and discounts. This also eliminates problems faced due to pre-existing diseases. Do Not Sleep On Such An Important Job. Get That Health Policy Today. One can reap its benefits in ones old age.

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...

Mutual Funds: Past Performance is not just everything

Many a times your agent / distributor / relationship manager tries to push you some mutual fund schemes by enticing you with a typical sales pitch…"Sir, this scheme has generated 20% returns in the past one year." 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. They say, "Sir / madam this scheme has been awarded the best scheme award in the past by a leading business channel"... And hearing all these sales talks you investors very often get attracted and sign a cheque in favour of the respective scheme.   But please ask yourself do you hear these sales talks when the capital markets turn turbulent? Why is it so that your agent / distributor / relationship manager avoids talking to you during turbulent times of the capital markets and doesn't boast about returns generated by the respective funds or awards being conferred on t...

Stocks with a high dividend yield

Buy Gold Mutual Funds Invest Mutual Funds Online Download Tax Saving Mutual Fund Application Forms Call 0 94 8300 8300 (India) Stocks with a high-dividend yield can provide investors additional cash flow. More importantly, it is tax-free   With April 2011 just over, the 'earnings season' is well and truly here. This is the time most companies pay out a portion of their profits as dividends to shareholders. Since dividends are tax-free, they are an attractive income source with a select class of investors, who depend on these for additional cash flow. SIGNIFICANCE A company doing well and generating profits will usually be in a position to declare dividends regularly. Hence, a key parameter one should look at whilst investing in a stock is whether the company has a good dividend record. Typically, dividend yield stocks are large-caps and generally not capital-intensive. This is suggestive of the fact that the downside risk on...

Systematic withdrawal plan

  Start Systematic withdrawal plan Online Although an SWP gives you regular income and saves on taxes in the long term, you cannot open an SWP on a scheme where you have an ongoing SIP   iStockPhoto If you are planning to take a sabbatical from work or are retiring soon, you may be looking at different investment options that give a regular income. Usually, a lump sum is invested to get regular fixed amounts later. Popular products include post office monthly income scheme, Senior Citizens' Savings Scheme and monthly income plans (MIPs). A lesser known option is the systematic withdrawal plan (SWP) in mutual funds. Recently, some funds have even removed the exit load on SWPs if you were to withdraw up to 15-20% in the first year, to encourage people who want to start investing in this instrument. Here is a look at what an SWP is. WHAT IS SWP? Many of us would be familiar with a systematic investment plan (SIP ), where a corpus ...
