Question by Dinesh on Dec 22, 2022Hindi

Money

What is difference between sum assured of a certain amount without top-up and same amount with a top-up? Kindly explain pros and cons.

Ans: Hi Dinesh, to answer your query, top-up plan is an additional sum assured over the base policy.

For example, if you have a base policy with sum assured of 5 lakh and a top-up policy over it with a sum assured of 10 lakh and you raise a claim for 7 lakh, the 2 lakh difference will be covered by the top-up plan. However, if you don't have a top-up plan you will have to pay it from your pocket.

Top-up plan can be subscribed to when you feel the sum assured value of your base policy will not provide enough coverage. There are no cons of buying a top-up policy; it is advisable that with age one increases their coverage amount to be on a safer side.

5. How important is it to buy a top-up policy?

Ans: Top-up policies play the role of an emergency backup policy, when their main health insurance policy cover reaches the threshold of the sum insured. It offers a higher coverage at relatively lesser premium as compared to a base policy with a higher sum insured.

Ever increasing medical inflation and ongoing deadly infection makes it essential to not only have health insurance but also insurance cover with an adequate sum insured.

The need of a specified sum insured can be optimised by breaking it into two policies. One basic and another top up totalling up to sum insured required by you. This option is recommended rather than having a single policy with higher sum insured.

Money

Hi Sanjib. Why is a term insurance considered better than insurance that comes with annuities and bonus?

Ans: Hi Prasanna, life insurance protects your family in case of an unfortunate demise of the policy holder. In case of a premature death, while in case of annuity plans, it protects your income if you live longer than the expected term.

Hi, I am 36 yrs old and have been working in a PSU bank as a senior manager. But i feel i will not have much more growth here. I cant decide whther its better to resign and do a MBA abroad or do a MBA for working professionals and then seek another job. Could you suggest any courses which could help to get a better job with experience in retail banking sector.

Ans: Can try both and see where you get a better college. Actually there would be more scope doing MBA abroad for a student like you who is in Mid Career. In India most of the executive MBA courses are for students with 5 to 10 years of work experience. But do check the placements in the college before you decide.

Ans: Not much idea about Flame but it will surely not be among the top college.
