Insurance Education

Protection comes before investment.

Insurance is not about returns. It is a promise that your family's future will not depend on chance.

The right order

Build your financial house from the foundation up.

Skipping protection is like building a house without a foundation. One unexpected event can undo years of saving.

  1. 1

    Emergency fund

    6 months of expenses in a liquid, safe place.

  2. 2

    Term life insurance

    Protect your family's income if you are not there.

  3. 3

    Health insurance

    Protect your savings from medical costs.

  4. 4

    Goal-based investing

    Now build wealth with SIPs and mutual funds.

Types of cover

The protection every Indian family should consider.

Term Life Insurance

Pure protection. A large sum assured for a small premium, paid to your family if something happens to you during the policy term.

Cover of 10–15× annual income is a common starting point.

Health Insurance

Covers hospitalisation and medical expenses. A family floater plus a super top-up offers wide protection at reasonable cost.

Buy early — before health conditions develop.

Critical Illness Cover

Pays a lump sum on diagnosis of specified serious illnesses, helping replace income during recovery.

Complements, not replaces, health insurance.

Personal Accident Cover

Financial support in case of accidental death or disability — vital for those who travel or commute daily.

Often very affordable for the protection it gives.

Avoid these

Six common insurance mistakes.

Buying insurance only to save tax

Tax benefits are a bonus; protection should drive the decision.

Being under-insured

A ₹10 lakh cover cannot replace 20 years of income.

Hiding medical history

Non-disclosure is a leading cause of claim rejection.

Mixing insurance with investment

Combined products often deliver too little of both.

Relying only on employer cover

It usually ends when you change or leave your job.

Not informing the family

Nominees must know the policies exist and where documents are.

Insurance is the subject matter of solicitation. Please read the policy wording and sales brochure carefully before concluding a sale. Premium examples are indicative only.
