Now Insurance cover for your loans

We have all personally seen and even sometimes been privy to plenty of stories where people have taken more debt than they can handle. Debt management if not taken seriously can ruin lives. Many families and marriages have been the victims of debt spiraling out of control.

Well, there is a solution, and it is called “Loan Insurance”. Loan protection insurance or loan payment protection Insurance, as it is called by some, pays your loan instalments if you become unemployed or suffer disabling injury or become bedridden. Furthermore, in the unfortunate event of your death, this insurance will settle up your outstanding loan balance, thus sparing your family the financial trauma of paying off the loans.

This form of Insurance can be used on home loans, car loans and in some cases personal loans as well. Just like other insurances, you have to pay a premium for it but there are a few banks, which offer it free with their loans. The premium for loan Insurance depends on various factors such as:
     Age
     Loan Amount
     Medical Records
     Repayment plan
It can prove to be a very handy financial tool during the financial ups and downs in one’s life. It can take care of the installments as well as the outstanding loan amount.

For more detailed information regarding which banks offer such Insurance and those banks which offer it for free, call us on our toll free number.

NPS a threat to existing pension schemes

New Pensions Scheme or (NPS) has been launched by Pension Fund and Regulatory Development Authority (PFRDA).

This new scheme has given one of the highest returns if compared to the various mutual funds in the market. So far the average return by the NPS has been between 12-14%.

Insurance is not a bad idea when it comes to investment options for retirement. Research a bit and you might find a profitable deal.

It is being expected that NPS might manage to eat into the market share of Insurance products and mutual funds as post retirement investment options.

The NPS where the Central Government employee has to make a contribution was started in January 2004. Once the NPS was deemed successful it was extended to all Indian citizens in the age bracket between 18-55 years in May 2009.”

27 states have accepted and implemented the scheme. West Bengal, Tripura and Kerala (states governed by the left) have refrained from accepting NPS. Guess they will stick to Insurance.

A total of 20 lakh members which includes 12 lakh Central Govt, 6 lakh State Govt employees with 6 lakh corporate accounts, so far NPS has been moderately successful.

The things holding back the massive acceptance of this scheme are a few as well. Very low commission, and poor distribution most private organizations and many Government organizations have not accepted this scheme.

Third party motor insurance premium to increase by 70%

From 25th April you will have to pay an increased premium amount on your Motor Insurance policy.

To get the best <Motor Insurance policy>http://www.insuringindia.com/general-insurance/motor/online-motor-insurance-home.aspx in the market, you can try us out.

Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority (IRDA) has taken this decision. IRDA had through their exposure draft in Jan 2011 announced their suggestion of increasing the premiums on Motor Insurance by 80%. Private car and two wheeler insurance premiums will be increased by 10%. So if all these variables are calculated the actual increase in premiums is 68%.

The IRDA revises their rates every 4-5 years. And the IRDA realizes it that it puts a lot of strain on the industry. From now on they will be reviewed on an annual basis.

Insurers have been forced to create an excess provision of Rs. 3, 500 crores. But in return they have not been allowed to issue fresh policies which have been changed according to this provision or make any changes in the policies that have already been sold.

General Insurance to become costlier: IRDA warns

Motor Insurance , Health Insurance , Property Insurance and others which come under General Insurance are about to get costlier. The cost of insurance cover for policyholders will rise. This is because the companies are now expected to keep more funds aside for claims.

The IRDA had made some interesting remarks considering the future of the Insurance industry. The next three years will be very critical for companies providing Insurance. Major changes are expected in distribution, marketing, set-up, terms of regulatory development, and channels of distribution.

The regulators have made some suggestions to the Insurance providers to help them improve their profits.

The regulators do not have a lot of faith in the agency development system currently in place. The system which is being used has some major deficiencies. It will gradually be replaced by a better system.

There are a lot of promises being made by IRDA this year. And a lot of warnings being given out as well. Let’s see what happens next.

No we are not talking about life insurance coverage on death due to fasting. The protests in and around Jantar Mantar has affected the sales of shops in nearby markets. Anna Hazare and thousands of his followers and admirers have crowded the streets in and around Jantar Mantar rallying support to get a strict legislation turned into a bill. The bill will help curbing corruption in the system. Business Insurance has now become an essential financial instrument for most shopkeepers in India.

Now General Insurance companies have got an idea for a new form of cover through insurance. A “denial of access” would be a new form of insurance cover. In this the insured would be compensated due to drop is sales when the customer is unable to reach the business establishment. This new cover will be very popular according to the insurers. The policy has a lot of potential. Just take a small of example such as Delhi. There is constant maintenance and construction work going on in Connaught Place. Also roads are regularly dug up in major market resulting in loss of customers and sales.

The same can be said with Mumbai which has problems every year when the monsoons arrive. Every part  of the country could benefit from this new scheme. Many trading associations and business groups have already shown interest in such forms of Insurance.

Less than 15% of India has health Insurance

A white paper compiled by PWC has come up with certain recommendations after their roundtable meeting. Industry leaders from the Insurance and healthcare market among many Government officials were part of the meeting.

One of the points which everyone agreed upon was the desperate need for a regulator in the Healthcare market. Now the Insured demands quality medical treatment and more streamlined processes. There are a lot more expectations from an Insurance provider in the market now.
However we will fulfill all your expectations when it comes to health Insurance.Give us a call and we can help with whom and how much should you get insured.

There is a need in the market for more specialized product in the market custom made for different demographics and sections of society. People falling in different income slabs have mutually exclusive needs and they need to be met.

Also another concept came into being at this event. A Credit Information Bureau (India) Limited needs to be set up. The primary role of this organization would be collection and dissemination of credit history information for banks and financial institutions.

Less than 15% of Indian’s have some form of health insurance. This figure includes citizens covered under Government supported schemes. There is a huge market in India with a potential worth billions. And once this market is tapped, proper medical treatment won’t be out of reach for a majority in India.

Dont be Uninsured. Health Insurance is cheap option for getting the best medical treatment for yourself and your loved ones. Get yourself and you family insured. Give us a chance to brighten your future.

All deposits in Indian banks are pre-insured

Every time you panic and run to get your deposits out of the bank, think again. All Indian banks which are under the supervision of the RBI cannot go under. In the event of an amalgamation, liquidation and reconstruction, all small depositors are safe. They are entitled to a repayment of all their deposits to the tune of Rs.1, 00,000.

And this is a compulsory for all banks working in India.  All commercial banks, regional rural banks and even co-operative banks in certain states are also included.

Deposit Insurance is provided by only one organization in the country. Deposit Insurance and Credit Guarantee Corporation (DICGC) will make sure that at least Rs.1,00,000 can be withdrawn by the depositor per account.

What we would suggest would be spread your deposits in various banks. Thus the limit for withdrawal increases.

Also getting a proper Insurance policy to create a back up in case of emergencies.

Indian banks have some inherent qualities when it comes to their assets. All banks are required to have a Cash Reserve Ratio of 4.75%. Also under the Statutory Liquidity Requirements (SLR) the banks have to deposit 25% of their deposits in Central Government Paper. Thus almost 30% of a bank’s deposits are very liquid.
