Medical Insurance is compulsory for you



Medical Insurance is compulsory for you and your family. There are several deceases now a days, for their proper treatments, you need a good cash. We are providing you the required cash for your treatment. Some of the medical issues are discussed below. By reading this, you can find out the importance and value of medical and Health insurance.

Get Yourself Some Calcium – Calcium not only ensures bone strength but helps the heart, blood, muscles and nerves. When the body does not get enough calcium, it often resorts to the bones, stripping them of calcium and making them weaker. A diet that focuses on more calcium intake – possibly through everyday foods like milk, yogurt, cheese, dark green vegetables, grains, beans, and some fish can go a long way towards ensuring bone strength and minimizing osteoporosis.

Meet Vitamin-D Requirements - Like calcium, vitamin D levels are often insufficient, despite playing a major role in the prevention of osteoporosis. Instead of being excreted, calcium is absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract and transferred from the kidneys to the bones (resorption) in large part due to vitamin D.

Make Other Changes to Your Diet - Avoid diets that are high in protein and/or sodium, both of which can increase the loss of calcium. Rather, start incorporating more leafy green vegetables, fruits, beans, peas, fish and other miscellaneous foods into your three daily meals.

Furthermore, limit how much cola/soda you drink, as studies have linked an increased likelihood of osteoporosis to drinking too much of these products. Substitute milk, juice or water as often as possible.

Imporant About Travel Insurance Claims

Travel Insurance is as important as any other travel accessory you would need while planning a trip overseas. Travel related risks can be many and the cost for securing yourself against these risks is relatively small. For instance, if in the unfortunate event of hospitalization in a foreign country, the expenses can be huge. But if you have a travel insurance plan, the policy will take care of the financial burden of the illness.

In addition to medical expenses, evacuation and repatriation, you can also make a claim on your travel insurance in case of loss of checked-in baggage, delay in baggage, personal accident, loss of passport, trip delay or hijack. In fact, Bajaj Allianz also offers a cover for golf tournaments in foreign countries.

The most important aspect of claim settlement in travel insurance is coordinating with the hospitals and local service providers in the foreign country. This is where a large network of international assistance companies or partners come in useful. Bajaj Allianz has a network of assistance companies in over 30 countries that enable medical assistance, claims process, repatriation and evacuation service and other services. In countries where a partner is not present, Bajaj Allianz directly coordinates with hospitals and other service providers to resolve a claimant’s query, request (for evacuation or repatriation) and claim.

Insurance Profit - Simple Rules II




In this article we continue of giving you the hands-down approach on planning your savings smartly. This is a blog in a continuation last blog Insurance Profit - Simple Profit
Pay off your debt and credit card bills on time :

A typical free credit period in India is 45-51 days. If you pay off the dues within this period, the interest is saved. If you are unable to pay off the entire amount within the due date, a common practice is rolling over the dues after paying the minimum amount. This is expensive as you would have to pay an interest of about 3 % per month (yes, 36% interest p.a.!) on your dues, and the bad news is that the new purchases made will not get any interest-free period until the dues are completely settled. Many people are still not aware of this.


Hence, it is always advisable to pay your card’s bills well within the prescribed time, thus avoiding unnecessary charges such as overdraw charges, late payment, interest cost, etc. All this adds up and you could save Rs.5000 to Rs.50000 every year.

Best ULIP Plans - Insurance Plans



Unit Linked Insurance Plans, or ULIP Plans as they are better known, have emerged as a preferred choice of insurance-cum-savings vehicle for many Indians in the last decade. Many investors have invested in ULIPs to meet their various financial goals, be it child education planning, house purchase planning, or retirement planning. Yet, many people have not understood the concept of ULIPs and hence ended up buying wrong product.
So what are ULIPs?
When we talk about insurance as an investment option, ULIPs are the products that suit the profile. ULIP is an insurance policy which provides dual advantage of insurance as well as investment. Here the premium which you pay is divided into parts – one part (small portion) is used to provide insurance and the other part (the larger one) is used to buy units for investment. This enables the buyer to secure some protection for his family in the event of his untimely death and at the same time provides him an opportunity to earn a return on his premium paid. The value of investments alters with the performance of the underlying fund chosen by the investor. Hence, the investment risk is borne by the investor.

If our savings are meant for very long term goals like Child insurance



Set savings goals and invest with discipline for that goal: Attaching a goal to a savings and investment plan will always motivate you to stick to the plan. The goal can be short-term like: travelling or buying a car. Alternatively, the goal can be long-term like: retirement. For each goal, figure out how long you have to save for it and set your monthly savings target towards that amount. There is a facility in mutual funds called SIP (Systematic Investment Planning) which sets up automatic transfers from your savings account to the designated investment. As is rightly said – if you don’t see it, you won’t spend it!
Investments should beat inflation: If our savings are meant for very long term goals like Child Insurancehttp://www.bajajallianz.com/Corp/life-insurance/child-gain.jsp, children’s weddings, retirement, etc., then it would make more sense to ensure that the returns from our investments should beat inflation. If they fail to do so, then the whole purpose is defeated. We may consider bank FDs safe but if they don’t help reach the target amount, then what is the purpose of having it in the first place? This is where equity investments like direct equity, equity MFs or equity ULIPs can give better inflation-adjusted returns in the long term, than the popular fixed income instruments.
Conclusion: Finally, I would like to conclude by a quote from by Ron Lewis: “It’s never too early to encourage long term savings.” I would advice every investor to start saving and investing at least 10% of their monthly income towards their goal. The earlier you start saving, the more time your money has to benefit from ‘the power of compounding.’
