Insurance

What is insurance, and how do you choose the right policy?

A plain-language overview of life, health and general insurance — and the factors worth weighing before you buy.

Why insurance planning matters

Insurance exists to transfer financial risk — the cost of an illness, an accident, or the loss of a family's primary income — away from your household and onto an insurer, in exchange for a regular premium. The right combination of policies depends on your age, dependents, existing savings and risk tolerance.

Broadly, life insurance (such as LIC plans) protects your family's income if something happens to you; health insurance covers medical costs; and general insurance protects specific assets like your vehicle, home or travel plans.

What to check before choosing a policy

Premium

What you pay, how often, and whether it fits comfortably into your budget over the long term.

Coverage

What is actually protected — and just as importantly, what is excluded.

Policy Terms

Tenure, lock-in periods, waiting periods and conditions attached to your cover.

Renewal

How and when to renew, and what happens if a payment is missed.

Claim Assistance

The documentation and process involved when you actually need to make a claim.
