Overview -
Insurance in India can be broadly categorized into two types: life and general. Life insurance can be further classified into term life insurance, whole life insurance, money back plan, endowment policy and pension plan. Health, home, accident, motor and travel insurances fall under the general insurance category. State-owned companies like Life Insurance Corporation of India, as well as private insurance providers, like ICICI Prudential and Bajaj Allianz, provide life and general insurances in India.
Term Life Insurance Policy -
As its name implies, term life insurance policy is for a specified period. It lets you select the length of time for which you want coverage, up to a period of 35 years. It has one of the lowest premiums among insurance plans and also carries an added advantage of fixed payments that do not increase during your term. In case of the policy holder's untimely demise, the benefit amount specified in the insurance agreement goes to the nominees.
Whole Life Insurance Policy -
Whole life insurance policies do not have any fixed term or end date and is only payable to the designated beneficiary after the death of the policy holder. The policy owner does not get any monetary benefits out of this policy. Because this type of insurance involves fixed known annual premiums, it's a good option if you want to ensure guaranteed financial benefits for surviving family members.
Money Back Plan -
With a money back plan, you receive periodic payments, which are a percentage of the entire amount insured, during the lifetime of your policy. It's a plan that offers insurance coverage along with savings. A unique feature of the money back plan is that in the event of the policy holder's death during the policy term, the beneficiary will get the full sum assured without having any of the survival benefit amounts, which have already been paid, deducted.
Pension Plan -
Pension plans are different from other types of life insurance because they do not provide any life insurance cover, but ensure a guaranteed income, either for life or for a certain period. You make the investment for a pension plan either with a single lump sum payment or through installments paid over a certain number of years. In return, you get a specific sum every year, every half-year or every month, either for life or for a fixed number of years.
Endowment Policy -
An endowment policy can be taken out for a specified period. At the end of the stipulated period, the assured amount is paid back to the policy holder, along with the bonus accumulated during the term of the policy. Designed primarily to provide a living benefit, along with life insurance protection, the endowment policy makes a good investment if you want coverage, as well as some extra money.
Health Insurance -
Under the general insurance category, health insurance is one of the most popular choices. In India, Mediclaim covers hospitalization, expenses incurred during medical tests and for medicines. You can also get coverage for medical expenses by opting for the 'Critical Illness (CI)' rider available with life insurance policies. This means that in case of a 'critical illness' as defined by the insurance company during the policy tenure, you will be paid the amount as proposed in the policy.
Types of Motor Insurance:
The word Motor broadly covers a lot of classes of vehicles plying on the roads. These may be two-wheelers like scooters and motorbikes, three-wheelers or four wheelers like private cars, jeeps, buses, trucks, commercial taxis and other vehicles.
Car Insurance -
This is the fastest growing segment in the insurance sector as car insurance is mandatory while buying a new car. Major car manufacturers are tying up with leading insurance companies to provide quick insurance to its customers. Car insurance covers loss or damage by accident, fire, lightning, riots, earth quake, hurricane, terrorist attacks, explosion, theft, third party’s claims and damages (like liability for third party injury or death, third party property and liability to paid driver). On payment of appropriate additional premium it covers loss or damage to electrical or electronic accessories and other significant items.
Two Wheelers Insurance
Two wheeler insurance is another type of popular auto insurance in India. It is governed by the Indian Motor Tariff. This insurance provides protection against natural and man made calamities like: fire, rockslide, landslide, storm, hurricane, flood, earthquake, burglary, theft, riots or any damage caused to the vehicle in transit by road, air, inland waterway or rail. Two wheeler insurance provides mandatory personal accident cover of Rs. 1 lakh to the insurer. This accident cover can also be opted for passengers. It also protects against legal liabilities arising due to third party’s injury/death or damage caused to its property.
Commercial Vehicle Insurance -
This type of insurance covers all those vehicles which are not used for personal purpose. Trucks, buses, heavy commercial vehicles, light commercial vehicles, multi utility vehicles, agricultural vehicles, ambulances etc are covered under this insurance. The premium is calculated on the basis of the make and model of the commercial vehicle, place of registration, year of manufacture, current showroom price and whether the insurer is individual or corporate. Insurance Companies in collaboration with the automobile manufacturing companies chalk out different kind of easy and less complicated plans for safe and easy insurance policy. HSBC India, New India Assurance, United India Insurance, Bajaj Allianz, ICICI Lombard etc are some of the prominent companies in India which provide commercial vehicle insurance.
