Health insurance offers financial support for expenses that could be related to hospitalization costs, cost of medicines or doctor consultation fees among others. Considering the rising medical inflation, health insurance could be considered a necessity.

The core objective of Life insurance is to provide financial support to the family of the policyholder in case of his/her demise. Along with the death cover, some life insurance policies also come with a saving and investment component. Thus, life insurance is the key to financial security for policyholders and their families in times of uncertainty.

As per the Motor Vehicles Act, it is mandatory for all motor vehicles to have ‘third-party liability’ motor insurance cover in India. Third-party Cover Third-party motor insurance covers damages & losses caused to a third-party i.e. person, vehicle or property. Comprehensive Cover Comprehensive car insurance covers both third-party liabilities and damages to your own car. For eg., Aman met with an accident while driving his car. During the accidents he hits a shop, causing damage to the shop and his own vehicle. If he had a Third Party cover for his car, only the damages caused to the shop will be covered by the insurance company. They will not pay anything for the expenses incurred to repair Aman’s own vehicle. If he had a Comprehensive car insurance, the insurance company would pay for the damages caused to the shop and to Aman’s own vehicle
