What Medical Policy Covers ?

This question might tickle your brain and it is valid also. You should know why to buy a certain product. What is its importance? Hence, below are some of the benefits of buying health coverage plans-

  • Co-Payment- Some plans may not provide you complete remuneration for treatment but offers to pay some of the treatment's fee (depending on terms & condition) and thus, lessen your burden.
  • Ambulance fee Why to even pay for an ambulance also when you have policy that covers it on your behalf?
  • Health Check-up- Some of the best mediclaim policy also offers for health check-up (Depending on insurer health claim history and terms in policy)
  • Tax Benefit The most important benefit of medical coverage is it is good investment. Now, you must be wondering how? Well, as per section 80D of Income Tax Act, paying mediclaim premiums can help in tax deduction. A person if buy mediclaim for himself, partner (spouse), his children and parents (below 60) can save upto Rs. 15,000 yearly and in case parents are 60+ then Rs.20,000 tax can be deducted (Depending on income). So, it is no rocket science that health plan is the best investment deal. (Not applicable to corporate world)
  • Free Treatment– Several health plans offer free treatment to insurers so they don't have to stress over finance and can contentedly treat themselves and their family.

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
