FAQ
How is health insurance different from term life insurance?
Health insurance covers hospital bills, medical treatments, and surgeries while you are alive. Term life insurance provides a pure, tax-free cash payout to your family if you pass away during the policy term.
What is a Claim Settlement Ratio (CSR) and why does it matter?
CSR is the percentage of total claims an insurer approves and pays out of all claims received in a year. A higher CSR (e.g., above 97%) generally indicates a more reliable claim settlement record.
What are room rent sub-limits in health insurance?
Some policies cap room charges to 1% of the sum insured per day. Exceeding this limit triggers proportionate deductions, forcing you to pay a large share of the entire hospital bill out of pocket.
What is a Zero Depreciation cover in car insurance?
Standard car insurance deducts value for wear and tear (depreciation) on parts like plastic and rubber during a claim. A Zero Depreciation add-on ensures the insurer pays 100% of the replacement parts cost.
