Besides,the major surgeries,health insurance policies these days,also cover some day-care treatments and regular chemotherapy sessions are one of them. Chemotherapy is covered under the mediclaim policy of National Insurance,but limited to a maximum of 50 per cent of the sum insured. Group insurance policies offered by employers are customised. Hence,you must read the policywording for scope and limitation of the cover.

I bought a Jeevan Saral plan in 2009 with an annual premium of Rs 25,000 and a Rs 5 lakh cover. I am planning to surrender the policy after its lock in period ends in 2012. What will be the surrender value of my policy and is there any tax liability on the same? I am,instead,planning to take a term plan.

If you surrender your Jeevan Saral policy immediately after lock in,the policy would acquire the Guaranteed Surrender value,equal to 30 per cent of the total amount of premiums paid,excluding premium for the first year. However,you will get 80 per cent of Maturity Sum Assured,if the policy is surrendered before 4th policy year is completed. Also,surrender is subject to the condition that all premiums have been duly paid. Further,Surrender Value received by you will be exempt from any tax under Sec 1010D of IT Act. There are many options available in term plans. You can consider a cost effective online term plan as the premium is very less compared to traditional term plans.
