But some people worry they will have to spend too much on taxes after retirement. Here are a few reasons to help you understand why your <a href="http://www.hdfclife.com/insurance-knowledge-centre/retirement-planning/tax-benefits-of-various-pension-plans">taxes in retirement </a> may be less than you think:</p>\n\n<ol style="list-style-type:lower-alpha;">\n\t<li>Not all your retirement income is taxable- When you're working, the bulk of your income is from your job and is fully taxable (after deductions and exemptions) at ordinary income tax rates. When you're retired, this is only true for pension income, withdrawals from taxable retirement accounts, and any rental, business, and wage income you have.</li>\n\t<li>Your income will probably be lower- You ideally need 80% of your pre-retirement income after retirement. But you may even need lower. Maybe you don’t have any loan to pay. Or all your children are financially independent. You expenses on eating out and shopping are lesser and you don’t spend too much on commuting. All these factors also determine that you need lesser amount for maintaining your lifestyle post retirement.</li>\n\t<li>Your Effective rate is what matters in retirement- When you're contributing to a retirement account, you probably want to look at your marginal tax rate. That's the tax rate you pay on an additional dollar of income. The reason is because the next dollar that you contribute to your retirement account would normally be taxed at the marginal tax rate. You need to use a lower marginal rate while calculating how much taxes you will pay after retirement.</li>\n\t<li>Higher taxes are highly unlikely- Tax rates may be higher when you retire. It is likely that any higher rates would only be on the upper brackets, which may either only apply to a portion of your income or not apply to you at all. The government also doesn’t want to increase the taxes of senior citizens so it is unlikely that the taxes will be higher.</li>\n</ol>\n\n<p>HDFC Life has a lot of smart <a href="https://www.hdfclife.com/retirement-and-pension-plans">retirement plans</a> to help you plan your future as per your requirement.

The key advantages of QROPS lie in tax efficiency *, mobility it offers you to take your funds where you go and gaining from an upside by investing in countries like India which offer a higher yield.</p>\n\n<p><!--<ul class="adjust-size hidden-phone"><li>Text Size</li><li><a class="font10" onclick="changemysize(10);" href="javascript:void(0);">A</a></li><li><a class="font12 active" onclick="changemysize(12);" href="javascript:void(0);">A</a></li><li><a class="font14" onclick="changemysize(14);" href="javascript:void(0);">A</a></li></ul>--></p>\n</div>\n\n<div class="float-left" id="mymain">\n<div class="inner-plans-wrp generic ">\n<h3>Why QROPS?</h3>\n\n<p>Lets imagine a scenario where you do not have an option of transferring your accumulated funds to a QROPS? The options left to you are:</p>\n\n<ol class="ol-list" style="margin-bottom:10px;">\n\t<li>\n\t<p>Withdraw accumulated fund when you move out and end up paying a tax surcharge in the UK as which at times are as high as 55% on the entire corpus</p>\n\t</li>\n\t<li>\n\t<p>Wait till you attain pensionable age, and utilize your funds either through annuity or in the form of income draw down as per limit defined by HMRC</p>\n\t</li>\n\t<li>\n\t<p>Once you attain pensionable age you also have an option to withdraw 25% of your corpus as tax free amount</p>\n\t</li>\n</ol>\n\n<p>However, if we look at options offered by QROPS, it definitely comes across as a good option which is allowed by Her Majesty Revenue & Customs</p>\n\n<ol class="ol-list" style="margin-bottom:10px;">\n\t<li>\n\t<p>Not withdrawing your funds in the UK and and transferring the same through QROPS, provides you with a tax efficient method to transfer your funds</p>\n\t</li>\n\t<li>\n\t<p>You tend to gain from higher annuity rates and more options vis-a-vis what you would get in the UK</p>\n\t</li>\n\t<li>\n\t<p>You also have an option of utilizing your funds to further enhance your corpus and hence gain from the higher cost of capital vis-a-vis what you get in the UK</p>\n\t</li>\n\t<li>\n\t<p>With a large no of products, QROPS also offers you a wide range of products to choose from, and to choose products that best serve your requirements</p>\n\t</li>\n</ol>\n\n<p>Broadly, for any individual, the QROPS comes across as an excellent option to not tax efficiently manage the funds but also in terms of deciding where exactly the fund should be utilized</p>\n\n<h3>QROPS in India</h3>\n\n<p>QROPS in India remains largely an untapped market and less known of an option. This is primarily on the ground of lack of awareness about QROPS and its process, availability of suitable and qualified product for such transfers, and seamless process flow right from the time the customer thinks of QROPS to the time funds are transferred. Tackling the issues of awareness, product and seamless processing, this is a huge opportunity for QROPS market in India, given the number of NRIs who either have already come back to India or are planning to come back and have a pension corpus lying in the UK.</p>\n\n<h3><a href="/retirement-and-pension-plans/qrops-overseas-pension-scheme" target="_blank">QROPS in HDFC Life</a></h3>\n\n<p>At HDFC Life we launched QROPS transfers in the 2013-14, and the response we received has been very encouraging.

Spiraling cost of basic amenities is a constant threat to retirement savings. Better known as inflation, it is the single largest menace that gnaws away any form of savings.</p>\n\n<p>Because inflation is like a silent operator working in the background, most individuals never notice its eroding effects on their finances, until it’s too late.</p>\n\n<p>Inflation has a dual impact on the investor’s hard-earned savings. It not only erodes the current purchasing power of money it also magnifies the monetary requirements for the future.</p>\n\n<p>Therefore the all-important question for the investor is – will his savings withstand the eroding effect of inflation?</p>\n\n<p>Take an investor setting aside Rs 10,000 every month in a <a href="/savings-investment-plans" target="_blank" title="savings plan">savings plan</a> that fetches 10% return. Over 30 years, his corpus will grow to Rs 2,26,04,879, which in his view is a reasonable sum to meet his financial needs at that time.</p>\n\n<p>This is of course the amount he will save, untouched by inflation.</p>\n\n<p>Once you consider inflation – say 5%, then over a 30-Yr period, the sum will halved to Rs 1,13,02,440.</p>\n\n<p>The 10% rate of return on the investment appears reasonable at first, until you factor in 5% inflation. This is the real rate of return – which is what matters at the end of the day.</p>\n\n<p>One way to counter the eroding effects of inflation is by investing a significant portion of savings in equities – like a unit-linked plan (<a href="/insurance-knowledge-centre/about-life-insurance/what-is-ulip-plans/" target="_blank" title="Definition and Meaning of ULIP">ULIP</a>), particularly at a younger age when the investor has the appetite for risk.</p>\n\n<p>The point to remember at all times is to earn a return good enough to go one up on inflation.</p>\n</div>\n\n<div class="float-left" id="mymain">\n<div class="inner-plans-wrp generic ">\n<h3><strong>Similar Articles</strong></h3>\n\n<ul>\n\t<li><a href="/financial-tools-calculators/retirement-planning-calculator" target="_blank" title="Retirement Planner Calculator">Retirement Planner Calculator</a></li>\n\t<li><a href="/retirement-and-pension-plans/why-retirement-plan" target="_blank" title="Why do I need a Retirement Plan?">Why do I need a Retirement Plan?</a></li>\n\t<li><a href="/retirement-and-pension-plans" target="_blank" title="List of Retirement & Pension Plans">List of Retirement & Pension Plans</a></li>\n\t<li><a href="/insurance-knowledge-centre/about-life-insurance/how-to-secure-family-future" target="_blank" title="Securing Family Future with Life Insurance">How to Secure Family Future</a></li>\n\t<li><a href="/insurance-knowledge-centre/about-life-insurance/how-to-choose-right-plan" target="_blank" title="Choosing the Best Life Insurance Policy">How to Choose the Best Life Insurance Policy</a></li>\n\t<li><a href="/insurance-knowledge-centre/investment-for-future-planning/" target="_blank" title="Investment for Future Planning">Investment for Future Planning</a></li>\n\t<li><a href="/insurance-knowledge-centre/investment-for-future-planning/income-protection/" target="_blank" title="How to Safeguard Money">Tips to Save Money</a></li>\n\t<li><a href="/insurance-knowledge-centre/investment-for-future-planning/my-money-works-for-me/" target="_blank" title="How to make Money Work for you">How to make Money Work for you</a></li>\n\t<li><a href="/insurance-knowledge-centre/investment-for-future-planning/portfolio-risk/" target="_blank" title="Managing Investment Portfolio">How to Manage Investment Portfolio</a></li>\n\t<li><a href="http://blog.hdfclife.com/early-financial-planning-532250" target="_blank" title="Early Financial Planning">Benefits of Early Financial Planning for Parents</a></li>\n\t<li><a href="http://blog.hdfclife.com/5-steps-to-successful-financial-planning-for-urban-women-532180" target="_blank" title="Financial Planning for Women">Successful Financial Planning for Women</a></li>\n\t<li><a href="/savings-investment-plans/super-savings-plan" target="_blank" title="Best Savings Plan">HDFC Life Super Savings Plan -

They were investment-oriented as opposed to insurance-oriented and hence did not provide a life cover.</p>\n\n<p>This changed with effect from September 1, 2010 when pension plans were mandated by the IRDA (Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India) to provide life / health cover and a minimum guarantee of 4.5%. <a href="https://www.hdfclife.com/ulip-plans" target="_blank">Unit linked insurance plans</a> have a minimum lock-in of five years and it’s no different with unit-linked pension plans.</p>\n\n<h2><strong>How unit-linked pension plans work? </strong></h2>\n\n<p>Pension <a href="https://www.hdfclife.com/ulip-plans" target="_blank">ULIPs</a> are different from traditional pension plans in terms of investments. While ULIPs invest in equity markets among other investments, traditional pension plans invest mainly in bond and government securities (gsecs or gilts) markets.</p>\n\n<p>Expectedly returns of traditional pension plans are stable and therefore more suitable for risk adverse investors. Unit-linked <a href="/retirement-and-pension-plans/click-2-retire" target="_blank" title="Online Unit Linked Pension Plan by HDFC Life">pension scheme</a> is ideal for risk-taking investors given the volatility of equities. Having said that, since equities outperform other asset classes like bonds over the long-term, the investor stands a better chance of accumulating a larger corpus over the long-term by investing in a pension ULIP.</p>\n\n<p>In terms of tax benefits however, there is no difference between the two plans. Premiums paid towards the plans are eligible for tax exemption under the broader Section 80C upto a maximum of Rs 1,50,000 annually.</p>\n\n<p style="text-align:center;"><a class="btn btn-primary btn-fulid" href="https://onlineinsurance.hdfclife.com/buy-online-retirement-and-pension-plans/personal-pension-plus?source=W_TEBT_BodyBO_KC_PRR" style="text-align: center; width: 50%; font-size: 20px; text-transform: none;" target="_blank">Calculate Premium >></a></p>\n</div>\n</div>\n</div>\n\n<h3><strong>Similar Articles</strong></h3>\n\n<ul>\n\t<li><a href="/insurance-knowledge-centre/investment-for-future-planning/safe-investment-options-in-india-for-2015" target="_blank" title="5 Safe Investment Options In India">Safe Investment Options in India</a></li>\n\t<li><a href="/insurance-knowledge-centre/investment-for-future-planning/safe-investment-options-in-india-for-2015" target="_blank" title="Online ULIP Plan in India">HDFC Life Click2Invest - ULIP Plan in India</a></li>\n\t<li><a href="/insurance-knowledge-centre/investment-for-future-planning/national-pension-scheme" target="_blank" title="National Pension Scheme in India">What is National Pension Scheme (NPS)?</a></li>\n\t<li><a href="/insurance-knowledge-centre/tax-saving-insurance/latest-income-tax-slab-and-deductions-fy-2017-18" target="_blank" title="Income Tax Slab For FY 2017-18">Income Tax 2017-18</a></li>\n</ul>\n\n<h3><strong>Popular Insurance Definitions:</strong></h3>\n\n<ul>\n\t<li><a href="/insurance-knowledge-centre/insurance-definitions/what-is-cancer-insurance/" target="_blank" title="Definition Of Cancer Insurance">What is Cancer Insurance?</a></li>\n\t<li><a href="/insurance-knowledge-centre/about-life-insurance/what-is-health-insurance" target="_blank" title="Meaning Of Health Insurance">What is Health Insurance?</a></li>\n\t<li><a href="/insurance-knowledge-centre/insurance-definitions/what-is-insurance-premium/" target="_blank" title="Meaning Of Insurance Premium">What Is Insurance Premium?</a></li>\n</ul>\n\n<p> </p>\n</article>\n</div>\n</div>'}], 'label': 'RETIREMENT - New'}, 'fields': {'textfield': ['heading-text', 'bottom-button-text', 'bottom-button-link']}}, {'slug': 'knowledge-center-landing-articles-homepage', 'label': 'INVESTMENT - New', 'id': '9nyI25rTFvvJfJJ', 'template_url': 'brandsite-home-theme-two/widgets/kc_landing_articles.tpl.html', 'type': 'article_list', 'data': {'bottom-button-text': 'View More', 'bottom-button-link': None, 'heading-text': 'Investment', 'icon_url': None, 'alt': None, 'content': [{'publish_at': '2018-04-04T19:33:00Z', 'url': '/insurance-knowledge-centre/investment-for-future-planning/power-of-compounding', 'slug': 'power-of-compounding', 'image': {'banner': 'oxmyuiqOpsWCwk8'}, 'tag_list': [{'text': 'Investment', 'link': '/insurance-knowledge-centre/investment-for-future-planning'}, {'text': 'Child', 'link': '/insurance-knowledge-centre/child-future-planning'}, {'text': 'Insurance Basics', 'link': '/insurance-knowledge-centre/about-life-insurance'}, {'text': 'Tax', 'link': '/insurance-knowledge-centre/tax-saving-insurance'}, {'text': 'Retirement', 'link': '/insurance-knowledge-centre/retirement-planning'}, {'text': 'Health', 'link': '/insurance-knowledge-centre/secure-your-health'}], 'tags': ['Investment', 'Child', 'Insurance Basics', 'Tax', 'Retirement', 'Health'], 'blog_author': None, 'tile_image': 'https://brandsite-static.hdfclife.com/media/image/RS-SI5_hiq8Kmr_tile.jpg', 'categories': ['insurance-knowledge-centre', 'investment-for-future-planning'], 'thumbnail_image': 'https://brandsite-static.hdfclife.com/media/image/RS-SI5_hiq8Kmr_thumb.jpg', 'title': 'Power Of Compounding And Early Investing', 'excerpt': 'Compounding is a great way to build wealth by earning a return on return.

It allowed us to watch all our favourite cricketers together on the same team, and we watched in awe and men from different countries worked together to get their team to the victory podium. But, IPL's biggest gift has been Chris Gayle. Over the last few years, Gayle has become one of India's favourite batsmen, despite the fact that he hails from Jamaica and plays for the West Indies.</p>\n\n<p>Gayle has been the Royal Challengers biggest ticket to fame and success over the last 10 years of the IPL, but can he alone take the team to victory? Unfortunately, he can't. Cricket is a team sport, and there have been times when Gayle has not been able to consistently perform and the other team members have had to perform their magic. No doubt, Gayle's personal career may have taken a backseat, but as a team player, it's always important to put the team first. In any team sport, be it cricket, football, basketball or hockey, everybody has to work together for success. If a single player intends on playing a one-man game, more often than not, it will lead to failure.</p>\n\n<p>Why is this important? Well, life can sometimes be like a game of cricket. There may be times when you think you can hit a boundary, but it may be safer, and better in the long run to swing your bat and hope for just one or two runs. There are times when you may want to do everything for those you love, but it won't always be possible. Being in a family is like being in a team, and everybody has to work together for a <a href="https://onlineinsurance.hdfclife.com/ocp?revampflag=Y&prodcd=C2P3DPER&source=M_knowledgecentre_C2P3D_AGamePlan_May2017&agentcode=00399206&journey=SH" target="_blank">secure financial future</a>.</p>\n\n<p>When you're young, and you just start working, you should talk to your parents about your financial responsibilities at home. Contribute some amount to household expenses, and think about getting yourself insured with various insurance plans. In the case of a medical emergency, you won't have to rely on your parents or their finances to pay off hospital bills. You and your parents work together as a team, so it's important to consider their finances and needs as well before making any important decisions.</p>\n\n<p>If you're thinking about settling down and getting married, it's imperative that you have a discussion about finances with your future spouse. When you get married, you need to decide who will take care of what expenses, and if you both intend on continuing work once you plan to start a family. You and your spouse will have to pool your finances together to meet all your<a href="https://onlineinsurance.hdfclife.com/ocp?revampflag=Y&prodcd=C2P3DPER&source=M_knowledgecentre_C2P3D_AGamePlan_May2017&agentcode=00399206&journey=SH" target="_blank"> financial goals</a><!-- https://www.hdfclife.com/savings-investment-plans/click-2-invest-ulip-plan?source=M_knowledgecentre_C2I_AGamePlan_May2017\n\n\n -->. At times like this, you can think about getting a <a href="https://www.hdfclife.com/term-insurance-plans/click-2-protect-life" target="_blank">life insurance plan</a> for yourself and your spouse, to secure your family's financial future. Once you decide to have children, you can even consider building up a corpus for your child to use when he or she grows up.</p>\n\n<p>When taking on life, it's important to remember that apart from your family, your best team mate is probably a good <a href="/insurance-plans?source=M_knowledgecentre_C2P3D_AGamePlan_May2017&utm_medium=content" target="_blank" title="Life Insurance">insurance policies</a> insurance policies for life, health and investment.

I have been living the retired life with my wife Anita for around 5 years now. Our beautiful daughter Zara always took care of us, but today, we are completely lost. You see, Zara was taken away from us when she was just 40 years old. To us, she was always our little baby girl. Ever since I retired, I got a pension, it wasn't anything great, but it was enough for us to manage our daily necessities. But Zara, who had never seen a hard day in her life didn't like this. She would give us some money every month, and insist we go out on holidays and enjoy our time together. She lived just down the road from us, and we saw her every day. She was a successful chef in a well-known restaurant, but then everything changed a couple of years ago.</p>\n\n<p>Zara had been feeling slightly ill for a while, so after much pestering from her mother, she finally decided to go and visit the doctor. It was bad news. There was a tumour, and she would need a surgery to get it removed. Apart from the surgery, there was also some chemotherapy that she had to undergo. The <a href="/term-insurance-plans/click-2-protect-plus-3d?source=M_knowledgecentre_C2P3D_lovedones_May2017&utm_medium=content" target="_blank">treatments</a> were expensive, but Zara had more than enough savings to pay for it all. After almost a year, she was finally declared cancer free; and slowly but surely, she went back to work and resumed her life. A few months later, the cancer came back. Zara fought hard, but eventually, she succumbed to it all. Anita and I were forced to say goodbye to her last month, and we're still struggling to cope with the loss.</p>\n\n<p>We miss her. We miss the way her eyes would twinkle every time she laughed, and more than anything, we miss hearing her call us mom and dad. Before Zara left us, she made us promise her one thing – that we'd always continue to enjoy life and take holidays whenever we could. You see Zara, was a smart girl, and she had purchased a <a href="http://www.hdfclife.com/term-insurance-plans/" target="_blank">term plan</a> a long time ago. She would pay the premiums every year, and after she passed away, Anita and I received the money from the plan. She had set it up so that we received some of the money every year. Anita and I don't intend to break our promise. We're going to use the money Zara left us to visit all the places she wanted us to go to.</p>\n\n<p>We're lucky to have had a daughter like Zara, one who always thought about the future. Not just her own future, but our future too. You may be Zara's age, or you may be older than her, or perhaps a few years younger. As a father, I ask you to do one thing – always take care of your family first. Zara did, and even though the money doesn't make up for all the things we miss about her, it does leave us with a sense of pride, and <a href="/term-insurance-plans/click-2-protect-plus-3d?source=M_knowledgecentre_C2P3D_AGamePlan_May2017&utm_medium=content" target="_blank">peace of mind</a>, knowing that we won't have to worry about money in the future. Life is unpredictable. Anita and I have had to face this fact last month. It's difficult to have to say goodbye to a child, but we're proud of Zara. We're thankful that she took measures to ensure we'd always be financially secure, and we're going to use the money she left us wisely.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Similar Articles:</strong></p>\n\n<ul>\n\t<li><a href="/insurance-knowledge-centre/tax-saving-insurance/tax-planning-tips-for-salaried-employees/" target="_blank" title="Tax Saving Tips">Tax Planning For Salaried Employees</a></li>\n\t<li><a href="/insurance-knowledge-centre/investment-for-future-planning/best-long-term-investment-options-in-2015" target="_blank" title="Long Term Investments">Long Term Investment Options</a></li>\n\t<li><a href="/insurance-knowledge-centre/tax-saving-insurance/Tax-Structure-in-India" target="_blank" title="Indian Tax System">Tax Structure In India</a></li>\n</ul>'}, {'publish_at': '2016-11-04T10:20:00Z', 'url': '/insurance-knowledge-centre/about-life-insurance/insurance-myths', 'slug': 'insurance-myths', 'image': {'banner': 'NHs1ROzIjpqDIYK'}, 'tag_list': [{'text': 'Insurance Basics', 'link': '/insurance-knowledge-centre/about-life-insurance'}, {'text': 'Tax', 'link': '/insurance-knowledge-centre/tax-saving-insurance'}, {'text': 'Health', 'link': '/insurance-knowledge-centre/secure-your-health'}, {'text': 'Retirement', 'link': '/insurance-knowledge-centre/retirement-planning'}, {'text': 'Child', 'link': '/insurance-knowledge-centre/child-future-planning'}, {'text': 'Investment', 'link': '/insurance-knowledge-centre/investment-for-future-planning'}], 'tags': ['Insurance Basics', 'Tax', 'Health', 'Retirement', 'Child', 'Investment'], 'blog_author': None, 'tile_image': 'https://brandsite-static.hdfclife.com/media/image/KC_Article_Resized_Image_tile.jpg', 'categories': ['insurance-knowledge-centre', 'about-life-insurance'], 'thumbnail_image': 'https://brandsite-static.hdfclife.com/media/image/KC_Article_Resized_Image_thumb.jpg', 'title': 'Life Insurance Myths', 'excerpt': 'There are a lot of misconceptions associated with Insurance.

One of the main objectives of taking insurance is to provide financial cushion to your family in case you are not around but it\'s not the only objective.

It can have a debilitating effect on the individual’s lifestyle and can incur considerable treatment cost, apart from loss of income from inability to work.</p>\n\n<h3>Who can benefit from the critical illness policy/rider?</h3>\n\n<p>The critical illness policy/ rider can be particularly beneficial for individuals who wish to take no chances with certain health conditions, especially if they have a medical history.

If the individual is diagnosed with one of the critical illnesses specified in the critical illness rider, he will receive a lump sum payment within a specified number of days. The amount equals the sum assured for the critical illness insurance rider and is different from the basic sum assured/life cover disbursed on death or maturity. The critical illness insurance amount is disbursed whether or not the insured undergoes any treatment. Some insurers as defined by the policy terms and conditions, disburse the amount towards the critical illness rider over and above the sum assured. Other companies deduct the disbursal proceeds from the sum assured, which stands revised post-disbursal.\u200b</p>\n\n<h3><strong>More articles on Health Insurance:</strong></h3>\n\n<ul>\n\t<li><a href="https://onlineinsurance.hdfclife.com/buy-online-health-insurance-plans/health-assure-plan?source=W-TEBT_KC_BodyLinks_HRI" target="_blank" title="Buy Health Insurance Plan Online">Buy Health Insurance Plan Online</a></li>\n\t<li><a href="/insurance-knowledge-centre/secure-your-health/right-health-insurance-plan" target="_blank" title="How to choose the right health insurance plan?">How to choose the right health insurance plan?</a></li>\n\t<li><a href="/health-insurance/introduction" target="_blank" title="Benefits of health insurance">Benefits of health insurance</a></li>\n\t<li><a href="/insurance-knowledge-centre/secure-your-health" target="_blank" title="Health Insurance Guide">Health Insurance Guide</a></li>\n\t<li><a href="/insurance-knowledge-centre/investment-for-future-planning/critical-illness-insurance-comparison" target="_blank" title="Compare Critical Illness Insurance Plans">Critical Illness Insurance Comparison</a></li>\n\t<li><a href="/insurance-knowledge-centre/secure-your-health/expensive-medical-emergencies" target="_blank" title="Tackling Expensive Medical Emergencies with Health Insurance">How to Tackle Expensive Medical Emergencies with Health Insurance</a></li>\n\t<li><a href="/insurance-knowledge-centre/secure-your-health/difference-health-mediclaim-plan" target="_blank" title="Difference between Health Insurance and Mediclaim">Difference between Health Insurance and Mediclaim</a></li>\n\t<li><a href="/health-insurance/need-for-health-plan" target="_blank" title="Importance of Health Insurance">Need for Health Insurance Plans</a></li>\n</ul>\n\n<p> </p>\n\n<p style="text-align: center;"> </p>\n</div>\n</div>'}, {'publish_at': '2016-11-07T12:32:00Z', 'url': '/insurance-knowledge-centre/secure-your-health/difference-health-mediclaim-plan', 'slug': 'difference-health-mediclaim-plan', 'image': {'banner': 'fEGlZ0PHXKjnzcR'}, 'tag_list': [{'text': 'Health', 'link': '/insurance-knowledge-centre/secure-your-health'}, {'text': 'Retirement', 'link': '/insurance-knowledge-centre/retirement-planning'}, {'text': 'Investment', 'link': '/insurance-knowledge-centre/investment-for-future-planning'}, {'text': 'Child', 'link': '/insurance-knowledge-centre/child-future-planning'}, {'text': 'Insurance Basics', 'link': '/insurance-knowledge-centre/about-life-insurance'}, {'text': 'Tax', 'link': '/insurance-knowledge-centre/tax-saving-insurance'}], 'tags': ['Health', 'Retirement', 'Investment', 'Child', 'Insurance Basics', 'Tax'], 'blog_author': None, 'tile_image': 'https://brandsite-static.hdfclife.com/media/image/RS-HP2_bD7tWl9_tile.jpg', 'categories': ['insurance-knowledge-centre', 'secure-your-health'], 'thumbnail_image': 'https://brandsite-static.hdfclife.com/media/image/RS-HP2_bD7tWl9_thumb.jpg', 'title': 'How is a health insurance plan different from mediclaim policy?', 'excerpt': 'Many people opting for health cover are unaware about the difference between a mediclaim policy and health insurance.

This is not only inaccurate but might just prove a very costly oversight. Hence it is of utmost importance that we clearly understand the key features that differentiate mediclaim vs health insurance plans so as to opt for the best <a href="https://www.hdfclife.com/health-insurance-plans/easy-health" target="_blank">mediclaim policy</a> in India for your family.</p>\n\n<p>To be sure, mediclaim although a form of <a href="/health-insurance-plans" target="_blank" title="Health Insurance Policies and Plan in India by HDFC Life">health insurance</a> is far from adequate to cover the many illnesses and health conditions that have become so common given the stress and mishaps in everyday life.</p>\n\n<ul>\n\t<li><strong>Mediclaim</strong>\n\n\t<p>First let’s understand what mediclaim brings to the table.</p>\n\n\t<p>The key feature of mediclaim is cover for hospitalization and treatment towards accident and pre-specified illnesses for a specific sum assured limit.

To complicate matters, costs towards medical treatment, particularly for serious conditions are no longer affordable for a majority of individuals.</p>\n<p>Let’s take cardiovascular ailments which are particularly common in India. Treating a heart ailment, especially, if it involves surgery, can be expensive. That is, if you are looking for high quality surgery since this is one area where cutting corners can prove very costly in the long run.</p>\n<p>The actual cost of the surgery is dictated by a variety of factors like severity of the heart condition, type of surgery, related risk factors, type of medical facility, surgeon’s experience and expertise. Today, cost of a heart surgery in India could vary in the range of Rs 1.5 lakhs to Rs 3 lakhs. Five years later it could be a lot more expensive.</p>\n<p>The illustration below highlights how cost of heart surgery can be expected to rise over the years.</p>\n</div>\n<div class="float-left" id="mymain">\n<div class="inner-plans-wrp generic ">\n<table border="1" class="tbl-eligibility">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Cost of heart surgery today(in Rs)</td>\n<td>\xa02,00,000</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Annual rise in medical cost(in %)</td>\n<td>\xa010</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Future value of heart surgery after 5 years(in Rs)</td>\n<td>\xa03,22,102</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Future value of heart surgery after 10 years(in Rs)</td>\n<td>5,18,748</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Future value of heart surgery after 15 years(in Rs)</td>\n<td>8,35,450</td>\n</tr>\n</tbody>\n</table>\n<p>(Cost of heart surgery and rise in costs are estimates and do not represent actual values.)</p>\n<p>As is evident from the illustration, after 5 years a Rs 2 lakh heart surgery will cost over Rs 3.22 lakhs. After 10 years it will be Rs 5.19 and Rs 8.35 lakhs after 15 years. If an individual hasn’t saved that kind of money, he would have no option other than to dip into his savings and investments or worse borrow money.</p>\n<p>One way to provide for medical emergencies is by taking a <a href="/health-insurance-plans" target="_blank" title="health plan">health plan</a> from an insurance company. Health plans offer a lot of flexibility both in terms of coverage and disbursal. For instance, certain health plans cover as many as 30 critical illnesses and over 80 surgical procedures. Payment towards illness/surgery is disbursed regardless of actual medical expenses. The policy continues even after the benefit payment on selected illnesses.</p>\n<p>With <a href="/health-insurance-plans" target="_blank" title="Health Insurance Plans In India By HDFC Health">health insurance plans</a>, individuals are assured of a more secure future both health-wise and money-wise. This makes health plans critical for individuals, especially if they are responsible for the financial well-being of the family.</p>\n<h3><strong>More articles on Health Insurance:</strong></h3>\n<ul>\n<li><a href="https://onlineinsurance.hdfclife.com/buy-online-health-insurance-plans/health-assure-plan?source=W-TEBT_KC_BodyLinks_HRI" target="_blank" title="Buy Health Insurance Plan Online">Buy Health Insurance Plan Online</a></li>\n<li><a href="/health-insurance/need-for-health-plan" target="_blank" title="Why do I need health plan?">Why do I need health plan?</a></li>\n<li><a href="/health-insurance-plans/easy-health" target="_blank" title="Critical Illness Insurance">Critical Illness Insurnace Plan</a></li>\n<li><a href="/insurance-knowledge-centre/secure-your-health/right-health-insurance-plan/" target="_blank" title="How to Choose the Best Health Insurance Plan">How to Choose the Best Health Insurance Plan</a></li>\n<li><a href="http://website.hdfclife.tech/insurance-knowledge-centre/investment-for-future-planning/critical-illness-insurance-comparison" target="_blank" title="Critical Illness Insurance Comparison">Compare Critical Illness Insurance Plans</a></li>\n<li><a href="/insurance-knowledge-centre/secure-your-health/" target="_blank" title="Health Insurance Guide">Health Insurance Guide</a></li>\n<li><a href="/insurance-knowledge-centre/secure-your-health/difference-health-mediclaim-plan/" target="_blank" title="Difference between Health Insurance and Mediclaim">Difference between Health Insurance and Mediclaim</a></li>\n<li><a href="/health-insurance/introduction" target="_blank" title="Advantages of Health Plans">Benefits of Health Insurance Plans</a></li>\n</ul>\n<h3><strong>Health Insurance Products by HDFC Life offered on HDFC Health:</strong></h3>\n<ul>\n<li><a href="/health-insurance-plans/cancer-care-insurance" target="_blank" title="Cancer Insurance Plan In India">HDFC Life Cancer Care Plan - Cancer Insurance Policy</a></li>\n</ul>\n<p style="text-align: center;">\xa0</p>\n</div>\n</div>\n</div>\n<p class="Separator">\xa0</p>\n</article>\n</div>\n</div>'}, {'publish_at': '2016-11-07T12:34:00Z', 'url': '/insurance-knowledge-centre/secure-your-health/right-health-insurance-plan', 'slug': 'right-health-insurance-plan', 'image': {'banner': 'fOSNZRkioXxlOUH'}, 'tag_list': [{'text': 'Health', 'link': '/insurance-knowledge-centre/secure-your-health'}, {'text': 'Retirement', 'link': '/insurance-knowledge-centre/retirement-planning'}, {'text': 'Investment', 'link': '/insurance-knowledge-centre/investment-for-future-planning'}, {'text': 'Child', 'link': '/insurance-knowledge-centre/child-future-planning'}, {'text': 'Insurance Basics', 'link': '/insurance-knowledge-centre/about-life-insurance'}, {'text': 'Tax', 'link': '/insurance-knowledge-centre/tax-saving-insurance'}], 'tags': ['Health', 'Retirement', 'Investment', 'Child', 'Insurance Basics', 'Tax'], 'blog_author': None, 'tile_image': 'https://brandsite-static.hdfclife.com/media/image/RS-HP1_tAIZ1Mj_tile.jpg', 'categories': ['insurance-knowledge-centre', 'secure-your-health'], 'thumbnail_image': 'https://brandsite-static.hdfclife.com/media/image/RS-HP1_tAIZ1Mj_thumb.jpg', 'title': 'How to Choose the Best Health Insurance Plans & Policies in India?', 'excerpt': 'Choosing the best health insurance plan which best fits your requirements is an important decision not just for you but also for your family.

The old tax regime and the new one. The new income tax regime gives the individual the freedom to continue with the old tax regime if he/she so wishes. The old or existing tax regime will still have its relevant tax deductions and exemptions. The new tax structure has only one deduction which is the one under Section 80CCD(2). This means the employer’s contribution to the employee’s National Pension Scheme is deducted from the annual salary. Under both old and new regimes, you can deduct Rs 2,50,000 from your gross salary to arrive at your net taxable income since the exemption is applicable to both regimes."\n }\n } , {\n "@type": "Question",\n "name": "⭐ How are the new IT slabs calculated?",\n "acceptedAnswer": {\n "@type": "Answer",\n "text": "Here’s how to calculate the tax payable by you for both the existing and new regimes. Remember some things remain basic or common irrespective of which regime you choose. For instance income from salary is the sum of your basic salary, housing rent allowance and any other allowances included.\n\nUnder the old tax regime, a standard deduction of Rs 50,000 is allowed. Neither the standard deduction nor any exemptions can be availed of in the new tax regime.\n\nLet’s understand the impact of both regimes on your tax liability. Say you have total income of Rs 16,70,000 combined from salary and other sources. If you make investments under Sections 80C, 80TTA and 80D, you qualify for a deduction of about Rs 1,70,000 from your taxable income. Thus your taxable income is now Rs 15 lakh. This however does not mean that you have to pay 30% tax on Rs 15,00,000. Since tax rules change regularly in India, it is best to consult your CA or your tax advisor for any clarifications."\n }\n }]\n}\n</script>', 'label': 'head tag script'}, 'validations': {}}, {'type': 'textfield', 'data': {'slug': 'article-button-text', 'value': 'Income Tax calculator', 'label': 'article button text'}, 'validations': {}}, {'type': 'textfield', 'data': {'slug': 'article-button-link', 'value': 'https://www.hdfclife.com/financial-tools-calculators/income-tax-calculator', 'label': 'article button link'}, 'validations': {}}], 'view_count': 471778, 'banner_image': {'url': 'https://brandsite-static.hdfclife.com/media/image/Income_Tax_Slab_2019-20.jpg', 'thumbnail_image': 'https://brandsite-static.hdfclife.com/media/image/Income_Tax_Slab_2019-20_thumb.jpg', 'id': '9AZiSAYrcDqWsgb', 'tile_image': 'https://brandsite-static.hdfclife.com/media/image/Income_Tax_Slab_2019-20_tile.jpg', 'alt': {'en': ''}, 'banner_image': 'https://brandsite-static.hdfclife.com/media/image/Income_Tax_Slab_2019-20.jpg'}, 'content': '<p>According to the current income tax slabs 2020-2021, the taxation of income of resident individuals below 60 years is as given:</p>\n\n<table border="1" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">\n\t<tbody>\n\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t<th style="width: 250px;">Taxable income</th>\n\t\t\t<th>Tax Rate<br />\n\t\t\t(Existing Scheme)</th>\n\t\t\t<th>Tax Rate<br />\n\t\t\t(New Scheme)</th>\n\t\t</tr>\n\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t<td>Up to Rs. 2,50,000</td>\n\t\t\t<td>Nil</td>\n\t\t\t<td>Nil</td>\n\t\t</tr>\n\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t<td>Rs. 2,50,001 to Rs. 5,00,000</td>\n\t\t\t<td>5%</td>\n\t\t\t<td>5%</td>\n\t\t</tr>\n\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t<td>Rs. 5,00,001 to Rs. 7,50,000</td>\n\t\t\t<td>20%</td>\n\t\t\t<td>10%</td>\n\t\t</tr>\n\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t<td>Rs. 7,50,001 to Rs. 10,00,000</td>\n\t\t\t<td>20%</td>\n\t\t\t<td>15%</td>\n\t\t</tr>\n\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t<td>Rs. 10,00,001 to Rs. 12,50,000</td>\n\t\t\t<td>30%</td>\n\t\t\t<td>20%</td>\n\t\t</tr>\n\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t<td>Rs. 12,50,001 to Rs. 15,00,000</td>\n\t\t\t<td>30%</td>\n\t\t\t<td>25%</td>\n\t\t</tr>\n\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t<td>Above Rs. 15,00,000</td>\n\t\t\t<td>30%</td>\n\t\t\t<td>30%</td>\n\t\t</tr>\n\t</tbody>\n</table>\n\n<p> </p>\n\n<p style="text-align: center;"><a class="nav-btn red-btn" href="https://www.hdfclife.com/insurance-knowledge-centre/tax-saving-insurance/income-tax-slab-2020-21" rel="noopener" style="position: relative; color: #fff; background: #d51d25; border-radius: 2px; vertical-align: middle; font: 14px \'Source Sans Pro\'; font-weight: 600; padding: 10px 20px; margin-right: 8px; margin-left: 0;" target="_blank">Latest Income Tax Slab 2020-21</a></p>\n\n<h2><strong>What is an income tax slab?</strong></h2>\n\n<p>Under the Income Tax Act, 1961 – the percentage of income that is payable as tax to the Government is based on the amount of income that a person has earned during a year.</p>\n\n<p>Keeping in mind, the fact that the outgoing of tax is tougher for people earning lower income –in India the rate of tax gets higher for people earning higher amounts in a financial year.

These transactions include paying power bills amounting to Rs 1 lakh and foreign travel worth Rs 2 lakh.</p>\n\n<p align="justify">You can download the ITR 1 from the Income Tax department’s website. You can file the ITR either by uploading an XML file or via online submission. ITR 1 is to be filed by those whose income is Rs 50 lakh and more, coming from such sources as salary/pension, and house property. The last date of filing ITR-1 for FY 2019-20 is 30 November, 2020.</p>\n\n<h3><strong>⭐ What is the standard deduction for AY 2020-21?</strong></h3>\n\n<p align="justify">With an additional Rs 10,000, the standard deduction allowed for Financial Year 2019-20 was taken up to Rs 50,000 following the provisions of the Interim Budget 2019. This brought much relief to the salaried and middle class, thereby also softening the impact of inflation. The standard deduction in the previous assessment years was Rs 40,000. With this, the taxable income of a person earning an annual salary of Rs 8 lakh is reduced from Rs 7,60,000 to Rs 7,50,000.</p>\n\n<h3><strong>⭐ What is the meaning of section 87 A under the IT Act?</strong></h3>\n\n<p align="justify">Section 87A is a legal provision which allows for tax rebate under the Income Tax Act of 1961. The section which was inserted through the Finance Act of 2013 provides tax relief for individuals earning below a specified limit. Section 87 A provides that anyone who is residing in India and whose income does not exceed Rs 3,50,000 is eligible to claim a rebate. This rebate is applicable only to individuals and not companies, etc and is calculated before adding the health and educational cess of 4 %.</p>\n\n<h3><strong>⭐ How should I calculate Income Tax for F.Y 2019-20?</strong></h3>\n\n<p align="justify">Financial Year 2020-21 allows an individual tax payer to pay his taxes by opting for either of two tax regimes. The old tax regime and the new one. The new income tax regime gives the individual the freedom to continue with the old tax regime if he/she so wishes. The old or existing tax regime will still have its relevant tax deductions and exemptions. The new tax structure has only one deduction which is the one under Section 80CCD(2). This means the employer’s contribution to the employee’s National Pension Scheme is deducted from the annual salary. Under both old and new regimes, you can deduct Rs 2,50,000 from your gross salary to arrive at your net taxable income since the exemption is applicable to both regimes.</p>\n\n<h3><strong>⭐ How are the new IT slabs calculated?</strong></h3>\n\n<p align="justify">Here’s how to calculate the tax payable by you for both the existing and new regimes. Remember some things remain basic or common irrespective of which regime you choose. For instance income from salary is the sum of your basic salary, housing rent allowance and any other allowances included.</p>\n\n<p align="justify">Under the old tax regime, a standard deduction of Rs 50,000 is allowed. Neither the standard deduction nor any exemptions can be availed of in the new tax regime.</p>\n\n<p align="justify">Let’s understand the impact of both regimes on your tax liability. Say you have total income of Rs 16,70,000 combined from salary and other sources. If you make investments under Sections 80C, 80TTA and 80D, you qualify for a deduction of about Rs 1,70,000 from your taxable income. Thus your taxable income is now Rs 15 lakh. This however does not mean that you have to pay 30% tax on Rs 15,00,000. Since tax rules change regularly in India, it is best to consult your CA or your tax advisor for any clarifications.</p>\n\n<p><strong>ARN: ED/10/19/16278</strong></p>'}, {'publish_at': '2016-11-07T04:55:03Z', 'url': '/insurance-knowledge-centre/about-life-insurance/type-of-life-insurance', 'slug': 'type-of-life-insurance', 'image': {'banner': 'KeylUdbBQkcMFl0'}, 'tag_list': [{'text': 'Insurance Basics', 'link': '/insurance-knowledge-centre/about-life-insurance'}, {'text': 'Tax', 'link': '/insurance-knowledge-centre/tax-saving-insurance'}, {'text': 'Health', 'link': '/insurance-knowledge-centre/secure-your-health'}, {'text': 'Retirement', 'link': '/insurance-knowledge-centre/retirement-planning'}, {'text': 'Child', 'link': '/insurance-knowledge-centre/child-future-planning'}, {'text': 'Investment', 'link': '/insurance-knowledge-centre/investment-for-future-planning'}], 'tags': ['Insurance Basics', 'Tax', 'Health', 'Retirement', 'Child', 'Investment'], 'blog_author': None, 'tile_image': 'https://brandsite-static.hdfclife.com/media/image/term_insurance_commparision_874-X-364_tile.jpg', 'categories': ['insurance-knowledge-centre', 'about-life-insurance'], 'thumbnail_image': 'https://brandsite-static.hdfclife.com/media/image/term_insurance_commparision_874-X-364_thumb.jpg', 'title': 'Life Insurance Policy - Types and Features', 'excerpt': 'Learn about different types and features of life insurance policy and plans.

They are the most affordable form of life insurance as premiums are cheaper compared to other <a href="https://www.hdfclife.com/insurance-plans" target="_blank">life insurance plans.</a></p>\n\n<p>Online term insurance plans provide pure risk cover, which explains the lower premiums. A fixed sum of money - the sum assured – is paid to the beneficiaries if the policyholder expires over the policy term. If the policyholder survives, there is no pay out.</p>\n\n<h2>Endowment plans</h2>\n\n<p>Endowment plans differ from term plans in one critical aspect i.e. maturity benefit. Unlike term plans which pay out the sum assured, along with profits, only in case of an eventuality over the policy term, endowment plans pay out the sum assured under both scenarios – death and survival. However, endowment plans charge higher fees / expenses – reflected in premiums – for paying out sum assured, along with profits, in either scenario – death or maturity. The profits are an outcome of premiums being invested in asset markets – equities and debt.</p>\n\n<h2><a href="https://www.hdfclife.com/savings-investment-plans/click-2-invest-ulip-plan" target="_blank">Unit linked insurance plans (ULIP)</a></h2>\n\n<p>ULIPs are a variant of the traditional endowment plan.They pay out the sum assured (or the investment portfolio if its higher) on death/maturity.</p>\n\n<p>ULIPs differ from traditional endowment plans in certain areas. As the name suggests, performance of <a href="https://www.hdfclife.com/ulip-plans" target="_blank">ULIP</a> is linked to markets. Individuals can choose the allocation for investments in stock/debt markets. The value of the investment portfolio is captured by the <strong>NAV</strong> (net asset value). To that end, there are many similarities between ULIPs and mutual funds. ULIPs differ in one area, they are a combination of investment and insurance, while mutual funds are a pure investment avenue</p>\n\n<h2>Whole life policy</h2>\n\n<p>A <a href="/savings-investment-plans/sampoorn-samridhi-plus-whole-life-insurance-plan" target="_blank" title="Whole Life Insurance Policy">whole life insurance</a> policy covers a policyholder over his life. The main feature of a whole life policy is that the validity of the policy is not defined so the individual enjoys the life cover throughout his life. The policyholder pays regular premiums until his death, upon which the corpus is paid out to the family. The policy expiresonly in case of an eventuality as there is no pre-defined policy tenure.</p>\n\n<h2>Money back policy</h2>\n\n<p>A <a href="/insurance-knowledge-centre/about-life-insurance/type-of-insurance/www.hdfclife.com/savings-investment-plans/super-income-plan" target="_blank" title="Money Back Plan">money back policy</a> is a variant of the endowment plan. It gives periodic payments over the policy term. To that end, a portion of the sum assured is paid out at regular intervals. If the policy holder survives the term, he gets the balance sum assured. In case of death over the policy term, the beneficiary gets the full sum assured.</p>\n\n<h3><strong>Similar Articles</strong></h3>\n\n<p>1.) <a href="/insurance-knowledge-centre/about-life-insurance/need-for-insurance/" target="_blank" title="Need & Importance of Life Insurance">Need of Life Insurance</a></p>\n\n<p>2.) <a href="http://blog.hdfclife.com/understanding-different-categories-of-life-insurance-policy-532280" target="_blank" title="3 Categories of Life Insurance Plans">Categories Of Life Insurance Policies</a></p>\n\n<p>3.) <a href="/insurance-knowledge-centre/about-life-insurance/how-to-buy-term-insurance-online/" target="_blank" title="Online Term Plan Buying Guide">How To Buy Term Insurance Plans Online</a></p>\n\n<p>4.) <a href="https://www.hdfclife.com/term-insurance-plans/click-2-protect-life" target="_blank" title="HDFC Life Click2Protect Plus - Online Term Life Insurance Plan">HDFC Life Click 2 Protect Life</a></p>\n\n<p>5.) <a href="/insurance-knowledge-centre/tax-saving-insurance/tax-planning-tips-for-salaried-employees/" target="_blank" title="Tax Saving Tips for Salaried Employees">Tax Planning for Salaried Employees</a></p>\n\n<p>6.) <a href="/insurance-knowledge-centre/investment-for-future-planning/best-long-term-investment-options-in-2015" target="_blank" title="Long Term Investment Options for 2015">Long Term Investment Options</a></p>\n\n<p>7.) <a href="/insurance-knowledge-centre/investment-for-future-planning/best-short-term-investment-options-in-2015" target="_blank" title="Short Term Investment">Short Term Investment Options</a></p>\n</div>\n</div>\n\n<h3><strong>Related Articles</strong></h3>\n\n<ul>\n\t<li><a href="https://www.hdfclife.com/insurance-knowledge-centre/about-life-insurance/what-is-life-insurance" target="_blank">What Is Life insurance?</a></li>\n\t<li><a href="https://www.hdfclife.com/insurance-knowledge-centre/about-life-insurance/how-to-choose-right-plan" target="_blank">Tips to Choose the Best Insurance Policy</a></li>\n\t<li><a href="https://www.hdfclife.com/insurance-knowledge-centre/about-life-insurance/why-life-insurance-is-important" target="_blank">Life Insurance is Important: Life Insurance Success Stories</a></li>\n</ul>\n\n<p class="Separator"> </p>\n</article>\n</div>\n</div>\n\n<center><a class="btn btn-primary btn-fulid accDCont" href="https://onlineinsurance.hdfclife.com/portal.do?_portalid=ops_c2pp3d_v2&_pageid=ops_c2pp3d_v2_quotePage&ocpseqno=1&prodcd=C2P3DP&categcd=PROT&name=HDFC%20Life%20Click%202%20Protect%203D%20Plus&link=&source=KC_LITF_C2P3D_CalcP&agentcode=00399206&tabName=c2pp-3d_calculate_premium_v2\n" style="text-align: center;width: 55%;min-width:320px;font-size: 20px;text-transform: none;background-color: #d51d25;border-color: #d51d25;" target="_blank">Secure yourself now! </a></center>'}, {'publish_at': '2016-11-04T12:16:05Z', 'url': '/insurance-knowledge-centre/about-life-insurance/benefits-and-need-for-insurance', 'slug': 'benefits-and-need-for-insurance', 'image': {'banner': 'NHs1ROzIjpqDIYK'}, 'tag_list': [{'text': 'Insurance Basics', 'link': '/insurance-knowledge-centre/about-life-insurance'}, {'text': 'Tax', 'link': '/insurance-knowledge-centre/tax-saving-insurance'}, {'text': 'Health', 'link': '/insurance-knowledge-centre/secure-your-health'}, {'text': 'Retirement', 'link': '/insurance-knowledge-centre/retirement-planning'}, {'text': 'Child', 'link': '/insurance-knowledge-centre/child-future-planning'}, {'text': 'Investment', 'link': '/insurance-knowledge-centre/investment-for-future-planning'}], 'tags': ['Insurance Basics', 'Tax', 'Health', 'Retirement', 'Child', 'Investment'], 'blog_author': None, 'tile_image': 'https://brandsite-static.hdfclife.com/media/image/KC_Article_Resized_Image_tile.jpg', 'categories': ['insurance-knowledge-centre', 'about-life-insurance'], 'thumbnail_image': 'https://brandsite-static.hdfclife.com/media/image/KC_Article_Resized_Image_thumb.jpg', 'title': 'Advantages of Insurance - Types and Benefits', 'excerpt': 'A wide range of vehicles are available to fund future financial goals.

Insurance scores over other investment vehicles in a number of aspects</p>\n\n<h2 class="img-wrp" style="text-align: left;"><strong>Life Insurance for Future Goal Planning</strong></h2>\n\n<ul>\n\t<li>\n\t<h3><strong>Certainty</strong></h3>\n\n\t<p>Once a goal has been identified and a value for it has been crystallized, a <a href="https://www.hdfclife.com/insurance-knowledge-centre/about-life-insurance/what-is-life-insurance/" target="_blank">life insurance policy</a> is an excellent vehicle to fund the goal. This is because one can be rest assured that even in the unfortunate event of death or even critical illness, the sum assured will fund a future goal of the policyholder.</p>\n\t</li>\n\t<li>\n\t<h3><strong>Tax efficient</strong></h3>\n\n\t<p>Maturity benefits of most insurance policies are tax free under Section 10 (10D) and the premium paid is eligible for deduction under Section 80C of the Income Tax Act, 1961.</p>\n\t</li>\n\t<li>\n\t<h3><strong>Flexibility</strong></h3>\n\n\t<p>Insurance products, especially Unit Linked Plans, provide flexibility in terms of asset allocation to suit specific risk appetites, policy durations, premium payment terms and fund switching options.</p>\n\t</li>\n\t<li>\n\t<h3><strong>Wider options</strong></h3>\n\n\t<p>Depending on the time horizon of the goal, the return required and the investor's risk appetite, a broad spectrum of asset allocations between equity and debt is possible in a Unit Linked Plan. An investor may tailor his policy to suit his requirement.</p>\n\t</li>\n\t<li>\n\t<h3><strong>Liquidity</strong></h3>\n\n\t<p>Most Insurance products offer good liquidity after the lock-in period to take care of any emergency requirement of funds. But they do have inherent deterrents in the form of charges to discourage unnecessary encashment.</p>\n\t</li>\n\t<li>\n\t<h3><strong>Earmarking</strong></h3>\n\n\t<p>Very often an insurance policy is taken for a specific goal. This therefore can become a deterrent against utilizing these funds for any other purpose and also encourages continued contributions.</p>\n\t</li>\n</ul>\n\n<h2><strong>Insurance for Financial Security</strong></h2>\n\n<p>Insurance helps you to provide for contingent liabilities like hospitalization, critical illness, debt redemption, etc. in a cost efficient manner.</p>\n\n<ul class="markers mrgn-left0 pad-bottom10 mrgn-top10 list-check">\n\t<li>\n\t<h3><strong>Term insurance</strong></h3>\n\n\t<p><a href="/term-insurance-plans" target="_blank">Term insurance</a> is the simplest form of life cover, which pays the sum assured on death. This is useful to simply provide for a family's survival in the unfortunate event of demise of the bread winner. This can also be used to cover repayment of any debt of a policy holder by simply assigning the policy to the creditor. Upon maturity or claim on the policy, the proceeds are paid to the creditor. Loan Cover policies are a variant where the sum assured keeps reducing in line with the loan balance.</p>\n\t</li>\n\t<li>\n\t<h3><strong><a href="/health-insurance-plans" target="_blank">Health insurance</a></strong></h3>\n\n\t<p>These policies provide cover against major health care expenses like hospitalization, surgery, critical illness, etc. The benefits could be in the form of fixed pay-outs on hospitalization or a lump sum on diagnosis against some specified critical illnesses.</p>\n\t</li>\n\t<li>\n\t<h3><strong>Accident benefit</strong></h3>\n\n\t<p>This is usually an add-on cover over a basic policy and pays an additional sum assured to the beneficiary in case of death due to accident. Since accidental death is sudden and unforeseen, the family could be faced with issues like relocation, debt servicing and other requirement for funds.</p>\n\t</li>\n</ul>\n\n<h2><strong>Retirement Planning</strong></h2>\n\n<p>Indian life expectancy has improved dramatically over the years due to availability of advanced medical facilities. However, a longer working life may not really be possible due to occurrences of life-style induced illness and high burn-out rate. The evolving demographic balance with plenty of young talent becoming continuously available may also be a deterring factor to a longer working life unless one is self-employed.</p>\n\n<p>Consequently, our retirement life span could well be as long as our active working life span. This means that we have to build a solid corpus during our active life to maintain our life style for the long post retirement life if we are to enjoy the true meaning of the word "retirement". <a href="/retirement-and-pension-plans" target="_blank">Pension Plans</a> help us build up our savings during our earning years and provide us a lump sum on retirement. This lump sum can then provide us a retirement income by investing in an annuity.</p>\n\n<h2><strong>Provide Post Retirement Income</strong></h2>\n\n<p>The worst situation that a retiree can face is to run out of funds late into retirement. Such a situation may force him to seek help from friends / relatives or liquidate his fixed assets which essentially are a compromise of self-respect. This is where insurance offers the best solution in the form of an annuity. Annuities bought from the retirement corpus can either be used to provide regular post retirement income for a fixed term or for the entire life.</p>\n\n<p>A <a href="/retirement-and-pension-plans/click-2-retire" target="_blank" title="Pension Scheme">pension scheme</a> may be broadly divided into two phases, namely accumulation (pre-retirement) and distribution or consumption (post-retirement). In the above graph*, we assume a 30-year old who plans to retire at the age of 60 years and expects to live till the age of 80 years. His accumulation phase is between the age of 30 and 60 years when he builds his retirement corpus and distribution phase is between the age of 60 and 80 years when he drfaws down this corpus for his living. <a href="/retirement-and-pension-plans" target="_blank">Pension Plans</a> ensure that the distribution phase of your life is as comfortable as your earning years.</p>\n\n<p>* This is only to explain the point and the figures are not based on any calculation.</p>\n\n<h2><strong>Insurance as Inflation Shield</strong></h2>\n\n<p>Inflation lowers the purchasing power of money and makes a dramatic cumulative impact over the long term. It reduces our real income year after year as our cost of living keeps increasing. So, it must be taken into account while framing financial goals.</p>\n\n<p>The following illustration depicts the impact of inflation on income and prices.</p>\n\n<p>Insurance products such as <a href="/insurance-knowledge-centre/about-life-insurance/what-is-ulip-plans/" target="_blank" title="Unit Linked Insurance Plans">Unit Linked Plans</a> help us combat the impact of inflation on our financial goals by providing the option to invest in equity, which is known to deliver one of the best returns from all asset classes, over the long term. Ignoring inflation would result in our savings falling short of the estimated value of future goals, especially over the long term.</p>\n\n<h3><strong>Similar Articles</strong></h3>\n\n<ul>\n\t<li><a href="/insurance-plans" target="_blank" title="Insurance Plans">Life Insurance Plans</a></li>\n\t<li><a href="/insurance-knowledge-centre/about-life-insurance/type-of-insurance" target="_blank" title="Types of Insurance">Types of Insurance</a></li>\n\t<li><a href="https://onlineinsurance.hdfclife.com/buy-online-term-insurance-plans/click-2-protect-plus?source=W_KC_BodyLinks_T2P" target="_blank" title="HDFC Life Click2Protect Term Plan Calculator">HDFC Life Click2Protect Term Plan Calculator</a></li>\n\t<li><a href="/insurance-knowledge-centre/investment-for-future-planning/right-insurance-plan" target="_blank" title="How do I choose and decide on the right plan?">How do I choose and decide on the right plan?</a></li>\n\t<li><a href="/insurance-knowledge-centre/compare-life-insurance-plans/health-insurance-comparison/" target="_blank" title="Compare Health Plans and Policies">Health Insurance Comparison</a></li>\n\t<li><a href="http://blog.hdfclife.com/advantages-of-online-life-insurance-532220" target="_blank" title="Insurance, Just a Click Away!">Insurance, Just a Click Away!</a></li>\n</ul>\n\n<h3><strong>Related Articles</strong></h3>\n\n<ul>\n\t<li><a href="https://www.hdfclife.com/insurance-knowledge-centre/about-life-insurance/how-to-choose-right-plan" target="_blank">Tips to Choose the Best Insurance Policy</a></li>\n\t<li><a href="https://www.hdfclife.com/insurance-knowledge-centre/about-life-insurance/life-insurance-necessary-for-long-term-financial-security" target="_blank">Click 2 Protect Health, Benefits</a></li>\n\t<li><a href="https://www.hdfclife.com/insurance-knowledge-centre/about-life-insurance/advantages-of-buying-life-insurance-early" target="_blank">Advantages of Buying Insurance Early</a></li>\n\t<li><a href="https://www.hdfclife.com/insurance-knowledge-centre/about-life-insurance/10-reasons-why-you-need-to-invest-in-life-insurance" target="_blank">10 Reasons Why You Need to Invest in Life Insurance</a></li>\n</ul>\n\n<p style="text-align: center;"><a class="nav-btn red-btn" href="https://www.hdfclife.com/online-life-insurance-plans" rel="noopener" style="position: relative; color: #fff; background: #d51d25; border-radius: 2px; vertical-align: middle; font: 14px \'Source Sans Pro\'; font-weight: 600; padding: 10px 20px; margin-right: 8px; margin-left: 0;" target="_blank">Buy Life Insurance Plans</a></p>'}], 'label': 'CHILD - New'}, 'fields': {'textfield': ['heading-text', 'bottom-button-text', 'bottom-button-link']}}, {'slug': 'knowledge-center-landing-articles-homepage', 'label': 'TAX - New', 'id': 'NPdaPYFU4jMybhx', 'template_url': 'brandsite-home-theme-two/widgets/kc_landing_articles.tpl.html', 'type': 'article_list', 'data': {'bottom-button-text': 'View More', 'bottom-button-link': None, 'heading-text': 'Tax', 'icon_url': None, 'alt': None, 'content': [{'publish_at': '2016-11-07T06:39:02Z', 'url': '/insurance-knowledge-centre/tax-saving-insurance/how-to-file-income-tax-returns-online', 'slug': 'how-to-file-income-tax-returns-online', 'image': {'banner': 'jLnk9IjNhXb2Mjw'}, 'tag_list': [{'text': 'Tax', 'link': '/insurance-knowledge-centre/tax-saving-insurance'}, {'text': 'Insurance Basics', 'link': '/insurance-knowledge-centre/about-life-insurance'}, {'text': 'Health', 'link': '/insurance-knowledge-centre/secure-your-health'}, {'text': 'Retirement', 'link': '/insurance-knowledge-centre/retirement-planning'}, {'text': 'Child', 'link': '/insurance-knowledge-centre/child-future-planning'}, {'text': 'Investment', 'link': '/insurance-knowledge-centre/investment-for-future-planning'}], 'tags': ['Tax', 'Insurance Basics', 'Health', 'Retirement', 'Child', 'Investment'], 'blog_author': None, 'tile_image': 'https://brandsite-static.hdfclife.com/media/image/RS-T2_ctrRhMZ_tile.jpg', 'categories': ['insurance-knowledge-centre', 'tax-saving-insurance'], 'thumbnail_image': 'https://brandsite-static.hdfclife.com/media/image/RS-T2_ctrRhMZ_thumb.jpg', 'title': 'How to File Income Tax Return (ITR) Online', 'excerpt': 'Filing income tax returns is no longer the hassle it used to be.

Because saving is a habit. And then, trying to get rich quick. It's pretty easy to get well-to-do slowly. But it's not easy to get rich quick.” </i></p>\n\n<div class="inner-plans-wrp generic ">\n<p><!--</blockquote>--></p>\n</div>\n</div>\n\n<div class="float-left" id="mymain">\n<div class="inner-plans-wrp generic ">\n<p>When it comes to saving there cannot be a bigger mistake than postponing investing. Individuals often underestimate the importance of time in amassing wealth. They assume wrongly that they can always make up for lost time in the future.</p>\n\n<p>So if you are looking for financial planning tips, look no further than these three ideas.</p>\n\n<ul class="pad-left10 pad-bottom10 ol-list" style="text-align: justify;">\n\t<li>\n\t<h2>Get a Head Start in Saving</h2>\n\n\t<p>To understand how important a head start can be - take two friends – Raj and Rahul - in their first jobs. They earn approximately the same salary –Rs 25,000 a month.</p>\n\n\t<p>Raj, the carefree type, cannot be bothered about saving money. Needless to say – he spends about everything he earns.</p>\n\t</li>\n</ul>\n</div>\n</div>\n</div>\n\n<div class="float-left" id="mymain">\n<div class="inner-plans-wrp generic ">\n<ul class="pad-left10 pad-bottom10 ol-list" style="text-align: justify;">\n\t<li>\n\t<p>Rahul is the more conservative one, always saving for the rainy day. As part of his <a href="https://www.hdfclife.com/savings-plans">savings plan</a> for the future, he sets aside 20% of his salary (or Rs 5,000) towards an investment plan. This he proposes to sustain over 30 years.</p>\n\n\t<p>Looking at Rahul’s investments blossoming over the years Raj – the happy go lucky one – realizes rather belatedly that pursuing a high consumption lifestyle was a mistake. He should have begun investing like Rahul. He decides to begin saving towards an investment plan with a commitment of Rs 5,000 per month. Worth noting is that Raj begins investing 10 years later than Rahul, so his is a 20-year investment time frame.</p>\n\t<b>Early bird gets the worm </b>\n\n\t<p><small>(Rate of return on the investment plan is assumed to be 12% CAGR) </small><br />\n\tClearly, Raj’s 10-year delay proves very expensive –to be precise it costs him over Rs 1.25 crores.</p>\n\t</li>\n\t<li>\n\t<h2>Early Life Insurance</h2>\n\n\t<p>Taking <a href="https://www.hdfclife.com/insurance-knowledge-centre/about-life-insurance/type-of-insurance" target="_blank">life insurance</a> at the earliest is another financial planning tip for the family breadwinner. Anyone with a family needs to make sure his loved ones are secure – at least in a financial sense – when he is gone. The best way to achieve this is through a protection plan, also known as a <a href="/term-insurance-plans" target="_blank" title="Term Insurance Plan by HDFC Life">term plan</a>. The earlier one opts for life insurance, lower the premium. As you age, insurance premiums get expensive and if you are beset with health problems, you could end up paying even higher premiums.</p>\n\t</li>\n\t<li>\n\t<h2>Early Health Cover</h2>\n\n\t<p>Equally prudent is to opt for a <a href="/health-insurance-plans" target="_blank" title="Health Insurance Plans by HDFC Life">health plan</a> or mediclaim at the earliest. As you grow older medical policies get expensive and if there is a medical condition, you may struggle to get a policy, at competitive premiums, if at all.</p>\n\t</li>\n</ul>\n\n<h3><strong>Conclusion</strong></h3>\n\n<p>As you can see, when it comes to saving and investing, you must start as early as possible. Delaying your plan even by a year could end up costing you a large chunk later on. Along with your investments, you also need to safeguard your finances and your family’s future. Today, every balanced investment portfolio also contains life and health insurance policies. While life insurance plans can help you grow your money, health policies will take care of your finances in a medical emergency. By saving and investing right from the time you start earning, you can build a financially secure future for yourself and your loved ones.</p>\n</div>\n</div>\n</div>\n\n<h3><strong>Related Articles</strong></h3>\n\n<ul>\n\t<li><a href="https://www.hdfclife.com/insurance-knowledge-centre/investment-for-future-planning/financial-planning-basics" target="_blank">Basics of Financial Planning – A Complete Guide</a></li>\n\t<li><a href="https://www.hdfclife.com/insurance-knowledge-centre/investment-for-future-planning/financial-panning-in-india" target="_blank">Thumb rules for personal financial planning in India</a></li>\n\t<li><a href="https://www.hdfclife.com/insurance-knowledge-centre/investment-for-future-planning/4-financial-planning-tips-to-make-your-dreams-a-reality" target="_blank">4 Financial Planning Tips to make your dreams a reality</a></li>\n\t<li><a href="https://www.hdfclife.com/insurance-knowledge-centre/investment-for-future-planning/financial-planning-and-its-importance" target="_blank">Financial Planning and its Importance</a></li>\n\t<li><a href="https://www.hdfclife.com/insurance-knowledge-centre/investment-for-future-planning/financial-planning" target="_blank">Why do I need Savings & Investment Plans?</a></li>\n\t<li><a href="https://www.hdfclife.com/insurance-knowledge-centre/investment-for-future-planning/important-life-milestones-that-need-you-to-start-saving-for" target="_blank">Important life milestones that need you to start saving for</a></li>\n\t<li><a href="https://www.hdfclife.com/insurance-knowledge-centre/investment-for-future-planning/what-should-be-your-financial-goals-in-your-30s" target="_blank">What should be your financial goals in your 30s? </a></li>\n</ul>\n\n<p> </p>\n</article>\n</div>\n</div>'}, {'publish_at': '2016-11-08T06:02:00Z', 'url': '/insurance-knowledge-centre/tax-saving-insurance/tax-planning-tips-salaried-employees', 'slug': 'tax-planning-tips-salaried-employees', 'image': {'banner': 'W5QsyTcttQjzpfW'}, 'tag_list': [{'text': 'Tax', 'link': '/insurance-knowledge-centre/tax-saving-insurance'}, {'text': 'Insurance Basics', 'link': '/insurance-knowledge-centre/about-life-insurance'}, {'text': 'Health', 'link': '/insurance-knowledge-centre/secure-your-health'}, {'text': 'Retirement', 'link': '/insurance-knowledge-centre/retirement-planning'}, {'text': 'Child', 'link': '/insurance-knowledge-centre/child-future-planning'}, {'text': 'Investment', 'link': '/insurance-knowledge-centre/investment-for-future-planning'}], 'tags': ['Tax', 'Insurance Basics', 'Health', 'Retirement', 'Child', 'Investment'], 'blog_author': None, 'tile_image': 'https://brandsite-static.hdfclife.com/media/image/RS-T1_3KFYAKd_tile.jpg', 'categories': ['insurance-knowledge-centre', 'tax-saving-insurance'], 'thumbnail_image': 'https://brandsite-static.hdfclife.com/media/image/RS-T1_3KFYAKd_thumb.jpg', 'title': 'Tax Planning Tips for Salaried Employees', 'excerpt': 'Tax planning for the salaried employees is a matter of planning and discipline.

So the biggest tax planning tip for salaried employee is to take a good look at Section 80C to maximize take-home salary, legally ‘reduce’ income tax rate and lower tax payout.</p>\n\n\t<p>Section 80C comes with a broad range of options to help individuals lower tax liability.</p>\n\n\t<p>Section 80C offers as much as Rs 150,000 in terms of tax benefit, which tells you how important it is for taxpaying individuals.</p>\n\t</li>\n\t<li>\n\t<h2>Tip 2 – Start with Rs 150,000</h2>\n\n\t<p>Make Rs 150,000 your starting point and work backwards by considering the most suitable options like <a href="https://www.hdfclife.com/insurance-plans" target="_blank" title="Life Insurance India">life insurance</a>, PPF (public provident fund), tax-paying mutual funds, NSC (National Savings Certificate) and so on.</p>\n\n\t<p>The <a href="/savings-investment-plans" target="_blank" title="Investment Plans in India by HDFC Life">investment plans</a> and allocations depend primarily on your financial goals, risk profile and income levels. Your financial planner should be helpful over here. He can guide you on how to make the most of these options.</p>\n\t</li>\n\t<li>\n\t<h2>Tip 3 – Begin with the most important options</h2>\n\n\t<p>While reviewing Section 80C benefits, go for options that you would take anyway, even if there was no tax benefit. Typically this would include life insurance, employee provident fund (EPF) – should your employer qualify for the same, tuition fees and so on. Deduct all these from the Rs 150,000 starting point.</p>\n\t</li>\n\t<li>\n\t<h2>Tip 4 – Move to the second rung options</h2>\n\n\t<p>Once you have got the most important options out of the way, it’s time to take a close look at the second rung. This would typically include tax-saving mutual funds and ULIPs (unit-linked insurance plans) if you are the risk-taking type or PPF and NSC if you prefer low risk options.</p>\n\n\t<p>If you want to invest in a pension plan, then the good news is that premium payment on <a href="/retirement-and-pension-plans" target="_blank" title="Retirement and Pension Plans by HDFC Life">pension plans</a>,under Section 80CCC – a sub-section of Section 80C – also qualify for tax benefits.</p>\n\n\t<p>By the same token, contribution to New Pension Scheme (NPS) – under Section 80CCD – a sub-section of Section 80C, also qualify for tax benefits.</p>\n\t</li>\n\t<li>\n\t<h2>Tip 5 – Have you taken a home loan?</h2>\n\n\t<p>If you have availed a home loan, you can claim tax benefits under Section 80C by furnishing proof of principal re-payment on the home loan.</p>\n\n\t<p>You can also claim tax benefits under Section 24 towards interest payment on the home loan.</p>\n\t</li>\n\t<li>\n\t<h2>Tip 6 – Don’t forget the other sections</h2>\n\n\t<p>While Section 80C seems to hog most of the footage, so to say, when it comes to tax-planning there are other sections that can save a bundle on taxes.</p>\n\n\t<p>While listing the sections may not prove very meaningful, we have listed down the documents individuals need to submit to avail of tax benefits under the sections:</p>\n\n\t<ol>\n\t\t<li>Rent receipts to claim HRA tax benefit</li>\n\t\t<li>Medical bills to claim tax-free medical allowance</li>\n\t\t<li>Proof of travel to claim leave travel allowance (LTA) tax benefit – usually twice in a block of four years</li>\n\t\t<li>Proof of conveyance, if required by company guidelines, to claim conveyance allowance</li>\n\t\t<li>Premium receipt of health insurance/<a href="/insurance-knowledge-centre/secure-your-health/difference-health-mediclaim-plan/" target="_blank" title="Difference Between Health Insurance and Mediclaim Policy">mediclaim</a>, including premium paid on parents’ health insurance – Section 80D</li>\n\t\t<li>Statement of education loan with details of the interest component - Section 80E</li>\n\t\t<li>Proof of donation to a recognized charity under Section 80G</li>\n\t</ol>\n\t</li>\n</ul>\n\n<h3><strong>Similar Articles</strong></h3>\n\n<ul>\n\t<li><a

But some people worry they will have to spend too much on taxes after retirement. Here are a few reasons to help you understand why your <a href="http://www.hdfclife.com/insurance-knowledge-centre/retirement-planning/tax-benefits-of-various-pension-plans">taxes in retirement </a> may be less than you think:</p>\n\n<ol style="list-style-type:lower-alpha;">\n\t<li>Not all your retirement income is taxable- When you're working, the bulk of your income is from your job and is fully taxable (after deductions and exemptions) at ordinary income tax rates. When you're retired, this is only true for pension income, withdrawals from taxable retirement accounts, and any rental, business, and wage income you have.</li>\n\t<li>Your income will probably be lower- You ideally need 80% of your pre-retirement income after retirement. But you may even need lower. Maybe you don’t have any loan to pay. Or all your children are financially independent. You expenses on eating out and shopping are lesser and you don’t spend too much on commuting. All these factors also determine that you need lesser amount for maintaining your lifestyle post retirement.</li>\n\t<li>Your Effective rate is what matters in retirement- When you're contributing to a retirement account, you probably want to look at your marginal tax rate. That's the tax rate you pay on an additional dollar of income. The reason is because the next dollar that you contribute to your retirement account would normally be taxed at the marginal tax rate. You need to use a lower marginal rate while calculating how much taxes you will pay after retirement.</li>\n\t<li>Higher taxes are highly unlikely- Tax rates may be higher when you retire. It is likely that any higher rates would only be on the upper brackets, which may either only apply to a portion of your income or not apply to you at all. The government also doesn’t want to increase the taxes of senior citizens so it is unlikely that the taxes will be higher.</li>\n</ol>\n\n<p>HDFC Life has a lot of smart <a href="https://www.hdfclife.com/retirement-and-pension-plans">retirement plans</a> to help you plan your future as per your requirement.

In layman's term QROPS is an option provided by HMRC (Her Majesty Revenue & Customes - the UK based regulator), to facilitate funds transfers for expats when they are moving out of UK, either back to India or anywhere else across the world. It stands for Qualifying Recognised Overseas <a href="https://www.hdfclife.com/retirement-and-pension-plans/pension-guaranteed-plan" target="_blank">Pension Scheme</a>. The key advantages of QROPS lie in tax efficiency *, mobility it offers you to take your funds where you go and gaining from an upside by investing in countries like India which offer a higher yield.</p>\n\n<p><!--<ul class="adjust-size hidden-phone"><li>Text Size</li><li><a class="font10" onclick="changemysize(10);" href="javascript:void(0);">A</a></li><li><a class="font12 active" onclick="changemysize(12);" href="javascript:void(0);">A</a></li><li><a class="font14" onclick="changemysize(14);" href="javascript:void(0);">A</a></li></ul>--></p>\n</div>\n\n<div class="float-left" id="mymain">\n<div class="inner-plans-wrp generic ">\n<h3>Why QROPS?</h3>\n\n<p>Lets imagine a scenario where you do not have an option of transferring your accumulated funds to a QROPS? The options left to you are:</p>\n\n<ol class="ol-list" style="margin-bottom:10px;">\n\t<li>\n\t<p>Withdraw accumulated fund when you move out and end up paying a tax surcharge in the UK as which at times are as high as 55% on the entire corpus</p>\n\t</li>\n\t<li>\n\t<p>Wait till you attain pensionable age, and utilize your funds either through annuity or in the form of income draw down as per limit defined by HMRC</p>\n\t</li>\n\t<li>\n\t<p>Once you attain pensionable age you also have an option to withdraw 25% of your corpus as tax free amount</p>\n\t</li>\n</ol>\n\n<p>However, if we look at options offered by QROPS, it definitely comes across as a good option which is allowed by Her Majesty Revenue & Customs</p>\n\n<ol class="ol-list" style="margin-bottom:10px;">\n\t<li>\n\t<p>Not withdrawing your funds in the UK and and transferring the same through QROPS, provides you with a tax efficient method to transfer your funds</p>\n\t</li>\n\t<li>\n\t<p>You tend to gain from higher annuity rates and more options vis-a-vis what you would get in the UK</p>\n\t</li>\n\t<li>\n\t<p>You also have an option of utilizing your funds to further enhance your corpus and hence gain from the higher cost of capital vis-a-vis what you get in the UK</p>\n\t</li>\n\t<li>\n\t<p>With a large no of products, QROPS also offers you a wide range of products to choose from, and to choose products that best serve your requirements</p>\n\t</li>\n</ol>\n\n<p>Broadly, for any individual, the QROPS comes across as an excellent option to not tax efficiently manage the funds but also in terms of deciding where exactly the fund should be utilized</p>\n\n<h3>QROPS in India</h3>\n\n<p>QROPS in India remains largely an untapped market and less known of an option. This is primarily on the ground of lack of awareness about QROPS and its process, availability of suitable and qualified product for such transfers, and seamless process flow right from the time the customer thinks of QROPS to the time funds are transferred. Tackling the issues of awareness, product and seamless processing, this is a huge opportunity for QROPS market in India, given the number of NRIs who either have already come back to India or are planning to come back and have a pension corpus lying in the UK.</p>\n\n<h3><a href="/retirement-and-pension-plans/qrops-overseas-pension-scheme" target="_blank">QROPS in HDFC Life</a></h3>\n\n<p>At HDFC Life we launched QROPS transfers in the 2013-14, and the response we received has been very encouraging.

Spiraling cost of basic amenities is a constant threat to retirement savings. Better known as inflation, it is the single largest menace that gnaws away any form of savings.</p>\n\n<p>Because inflation is like a silent operator working in the background, most individuals never notice its eroding effects on their finances, until it’s too late.</p>\n\n<p>Inflation has a dual impact on the investor’s hard-earned savings. It not only erodes the current purchasing power of money it also magnifies the monetary requirements for the future.</p>\n\n<p>Therefore the all-important question for the investor is – will his savings withstand the eroding effect of inflation?</p>\n\n<p>Take an investor setting aside Rs 10,000 every month in a <a href="/savings-investment-plans" target="_blank" title="savings plan">savings plan</a> that fetches 10% return. Over 30 years, his corpus will grow to Rs 2,26,04,879, which in his view is a reasonable sum to meet his financial needs at that time.</p>\n\n<p>This is of course the amount he will save, untouched by inflation.</p>\n\n<p>Once you consider inflation – say 5%, then over a 30-Yr period, the sum will halved to Rs 1,13,02,440.</p>\n\n<p>The 10% rate of return on the investment appears reasonable at first, until you factor in 5% inflation. This is the real rate of return – which is what matters at the end of the day.</p>\n\n<p>One way to counter the eroding effects of inflation is by investing a significant portion of savings in equities – like a unit-linked plan (<a href="/insurance-knowledge-centre/about-life-insurance/what-is-ulip-plans/" target="_blank" title="Definition and Meaning of ULIP">ULIP</a>), particularly at a younger age when the investor has the appetite for risk.</p>\n\n<p>The point to remember at all times is to earn a return good enough to go one up on inflation.</p>\n</div>\n\n<div class="float-left" id="mymain">\n<div class="inner-plans-wrp generic ">\n<h3><strong>Similar Articles</strong></h3>\n\n<ul>\n\t<li><a href="/financial-tools-calculators/retirement-planning-calculator" target="_blank" title="Retirement Planner Calculator">Retirement Planner Calculator</a></li>\n\t<li><a href="/retirement-and-pension-plans/why-retirement-plan" target="_blank" title="Why do I need a Retirement Plan?">Why do I need a Retirement Plan?</a></li>\n\t<li><a href="/retirement-and-pension-plans" target="_blank" title="List of Retirement & Pension Plans">List of Retirement & Pension Plans</a></li>\n\t<li><a href="/insurance-knowledge-centre/about-life-insurance/how-to-secure-family-future" target="_blank" title="Securing Family Future with Life Insurance">How to Secure Family Future</a></li>\n\t<li><a href="/insurance-knowledge-centre/about-life-insurance/how-to-choose-right-plan" target="_blank" title="Choosing the Best Life Insurance Policy">How to Choose the Best Life Insurance Policy</a></li>\n\t<li><a href="/insurance-knowledge-centre/investment-for-future-planning/" target="_blank" title="Investment for Future Planning">Investment for Future Planning</a></li>\n\t<li><a href="/insurance-knowledge-centre/investment-for-future-planning/income-protection/" target="_blank" title="How to Safeguard Money">Tips to Save Money</a></li>\n\t<li><a href="/insurance-knowledge-centre/investment-for-future-planning/my-money-works-for-me/" target="_blank" title="How to make Money Work for you">How to make Money Work for you</a></li>\n\t<li><a href="/insurance-knowledge-centre/investment-for-future-planning/portfolio-risk/" target="_blank" title="Managing Investment Portfolio">How to Manage Investment Portfolio</a></li>\n\t<li><a href="http://blog.hdfclife.com/early-financial-planning-532250" target="_blank" title="Early Financial Planning">Benefits of Early Financial Planning for Parents</a></li>\n\t<li><a href="http://blog.hdfclife.com/5-steps-to-successful-financial-planning-for-urban-women-532180" target="_blank" title="Financial Planning for Women">Successful Financial Planning for Women</a></li>\n\t<li><a href="/savings-investment-plans/super-savings-plan" target="_blank" title="Best Savings Plan">HDFC Life Super Savings Plan -

They are suitable for individuals looking for a long-term retirement plan that doubles up as an investment.</p>\n</div>\n</div>\n</div>\n\n<div class="inner-plans-wrp generic ">\n<p>Pension plans typically did not offer a sum assured in the past. They were investment-oriented as opposed to insurance-oriented and hence did not provide a life cover.</p>\n\n<p>This changed with effect from September 1, 2010 when pension plans were mandated by the IRDA (Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India) to provide life / health cover and a minimum guarantee of 4.5%. <a href="https://www.hdfclife.com/ulip-plans" target="_blank">Unit linked insurance plans</a> have a minimum lock-in of five years and it’s no different with unit-linked pension plans.</p>\n\n<h2><strong>How unit-linked pension plans work? </strong></h2>\n\n<p>Pension <a href="https://www.hdfclife.com/ulip-plans" target="_blank">ULIPs</a> are different from traditional pension plans in terms of investments. While ULIPs invest in equity markets among other investments, traditional pension plans invest mainly in bond and government securities (gsecs or gilts) markets.</p>\n\n<p>Expectedly returns of traditional pension plans are stable and therefore more suitable for risk adverse investors. Unit-linked <a href="/retirement-and-pension-plans/click-2-retire" target="_blank" title="Online Unit Linked Pension Plan by HDFC Life">pension scheme</a> is ideal for risk-taking investors given the volatility of equities. Having said that, since equities outperform other asset classes like bonds over the long-term, the investor stands a better chance of accumulating a larger corpus over the long-term by investing in a pension ULIP.</p>\n\n<p>In terms of tax benefits however, there is no difference between the two plans. Premiums paid towards the plans are eligible for tax exemption under the broader Section 80C upto a maximum of Rs 1,50,000 annually.</p>\n\n<p style="text-align:center;"><a class="btn btn-primary btn-fulid" href="https://onlineinsurance.hdfclife.com/buy-online-retirement-and-pension-plans/personal-pension-plus?source=W_TEBT_BodyBO_KC_PRR" style="text-align: center; width: 50%; font-size: 20px; text-transform: none;" target="_blank">Calculate Premium >></a></p>\n</div>\n</div>\n</div>\n\n<h3><strong>Similar Articles</strong></h3>\n\n<ul>\n\t<li><a href="/insurance-knowledge-centre/investment-for-future-planning/safe-investment-options-in-india-for-2015" target="_blank" title="5 Safe Investment Options In India">Safe Investment Options in India</a></li>\n\t<li><a href="/insurance-knowledge-centre/investment-for-future-planning/safe-investment-options-in-india-for-2015" target="_blank" title="Online ULIP Plan in India">HDFC Life Click2Invest - ULIP Plan in India</a></li>\n\t<li><a href="/insurance-knowledge-centre/investment-for-future-planning/national-pension-scheme" target="_blank" title="National Pension Scheme in India">What is National Pension Scheme (NPS)?</a></li>\n\t<li><a href="/insurance-knowledge-centre/tax-saving-insurance/latest-income-tax-slab-and-deductions-fy-2017-18" target="_blank" title="Income Tax Slab For FY 2017-18">Income Tax 2017-18</a></li>\n</ul>\n\n<h3><strong>Popular Insurance Definitions:</strong></h3>\n\n<ul>\n\t<li><a href="/insurance-knowledge-centre/insurance-definitions/what-is-cancer-insurance/" target="_blank" title="Definition Of Cancer Insurance">What is Cancer Insurance?</a></li>\n\t<li><a href="/insurance-knowledge-centre/about-life-insurance/what-is-health-insurance" target="_blank" title="Meaning Of Health Insurance">What is Health Insurance?</a></li>\n\t<li><a href="/insurance-knowledge-centre/insurance-definitions/what-is-insurance-premium/" target="_blank" title="Meaning Of Insurance Premium">What Is Insurance Premium?</a></li>\n</ul>\n\n<p> </p>\n</article>\n</div>\n</div>'}], 'label': 'RETIREMENT - New'}, 'fields': {'textfield': ['heading-text', 'bottom-button-text', 'bottom-button-link']}}, {'slug': 'knowledge-center-landing-articles-homepage', 'label': 'INVESTMENT - New', 'id': '9nyI25rTFvvJfJJ', 'template_url': 'brandsite-home-theme-two/widgets/kc_landing_articles.tpl.html', 'type': 'article_list', 'data': {'bottom-button-text': 'View More', 'bottom-button-link': None, 'heading-text': 'Investment', 'icon_url': None, 'alt': None, 'content': [{'publish_at': '2018-04-04T19:33:00Z', 'url': '/insurance-knowledge-centre/investment-for-future-planning/power-of-compounding', 'slug': 'power-of-compounding', 'image': {'banner': 'oxmyuiqOpsWCwk8'}, 'tag_list': [{'text': 'Investment', 'link': '/insurance-knowledge-centre/investment-for-future-planning'}, {'text': 'Child', 'link': '/insurance-knowledge-centre/child-future-planning'}, {'text': 'Insurance Basics', 'link': '/insurance-knowledge-centre/about-life-insurance'}, {'text': 'Tax', 'link': '/insurance-knowledge-centre/tax-saving-insurance'}, {'text': 'Retirement', 'link': '/insurance-knowledge-centre/retirement-planning'}, {'text': 'Health', 'link': '/insurance-knowledge-centre/secure-your-health'}], 'tags': ['Investment', 'Child', 'Insurance Basics', 'Tax', 'Retirement', 'Health'], 'blog_author': None, 'tile_image': 'https://brandsite-static.hdfclife.com/media/image/RS-SI5_hiq8Kmr_tile.jpg', 'categories': ['insurance-knowledge-centre', 'investment-for-future-planning'], 'thumbnail_image': 'https://brandsite-static.hdfclife.com/media/image/RS-SI5_hiq8Kmr_thumb.jpg', 'title': 'Power Of Compounding And Early Investing', 'excerpt': 'Compounding is a great way to build wealth by earning a return on return.

It allowed us to watch all our favourite cricketers together on the same team, and we watched in awe and men from different countries worked together to get their team to the victory podium. But, IPL's biggest gift has been Chris Gayle. Over the last few years, Gayle has become one of India's favourite batsmen, despite the fact that he hails from Jamaica and plays for the West Indies.</p>\n\n<p>Gayle has been the Royal Challengers biggest ticket to fame and success over the last 10 years of the IPL, but can he alone take the team to victory? Unfortunately, he can't. Cricket is a team sport, and there have been times when Gayle has not been able to consistently perform and the other team members have had to perform their magic. No doubt, Gayle's personal career may have taken a backseat, but as a team player, it's always important to put the team first. In any team sport, be it cricket, football, basketball or hockey, everybody has to work together for success. If a single player intends on playing a one-man game, more often than not, it will lead to failure.</p>\n\n<p>Why is this important? Well, life can sometimes be like a game of cricket. There may be times when you think you can hit a boundary, but it may be safer, and better in the long run to swing your bat and hope for just one or two runs. There are times when you may want to do everything for those you love, but it won't always be possible. Being in a family is like being in a team, and everybody has to work together for a <a href="https://onlineinsurance.hdfclife.com/ocp?revampflag=Y&prodcd=C2P3DPER&source=M_knowledgecentre_C2P3D_AGamePlan_May2017&agentcode=00399206&journey=SH" target="_blank">secure financial future</a>.</p>\n\n<p>When you're young, and you just start working, you should talk to your parents about your financial responsibilities at home. Contribute some amount to household expenses, and think about getting yourself insured with various insurance plans. In the case of a medical emergency, you won't have to rely on your parents or their finances to pay off hospital bills. You and your parents work together as a team, so it's important to consider their finances and needs as well before making any important decisions.</p>\n\n<p>If you're thinking about settling down and getting married, it's imperative that you have a discussion about finances with your future spouse. When you get married, you need to decide who will take care of what expenses, and if you both intend on continuing work once you plan to start a family. You and your spouse will have to pool your finances together to meet all your<a href="https://onlineinsurance.hdfclife.com/ocp?revampflag=Y&prodcd=C2P3DPER&source=M_knowledgecentre_C2P3D_AGamePlan_May2017&agentcode=00399206&journey=SH" target="_blank"> financial goals</a><!-- https://www.hdfclife.com/savings-investment-plans/click-2-invest-ulip-plan?source=M_knowledgecentre_C2I_AGamePlan_May2017\n\n\n -->. At times like this, you can think about getting a <a href="https://www.hdfclife.com/term-insurance-plans/click-2-protect-life" target="_blank">life insurance plan</a> for yourself and your spouse, to secure your family's financial future.

I have been living the retired life with my wife Anita for around 5 years now. Our beautiful daughter Zara always took care of us, but today, we are completely lost. You see, Zara was taken away from us when she was just 40 years old. To us, she was always our little baby girl. Ever since I retired, I got a pension, it wasn't anything great, but it was enough for us to manage our daily necessities. But Zara, who had never seen a hard day in her life didn't like this. She would give us some money every month, and insist we go out on holidays and enjoy our time together. She lived just down the road from us, and we saw her every day. She was a successful chef in a well-known restaurant, but then everything changed a couple of years ago.</p>\n\n<p>Zara had been feeling slightly ill for a while, so after much pestering from her mother, she finally decided to go and visit the doctor. It was bad news. There was a tumour, and she would need a surgery to get it removed. Apart from the surgery, there was also some chemotherapy that she had to undergo. The <a href="/term-insurance-plans/click-2-protect-plus-3d?source=M_knowledgecentre_C2P3D_lovedones_May2017&utm_medium=content" target="_blank">treatments</a> were expensive, but Zara had more than enough savings to pay for it all. After almost a year, she was finally declared cancer free; and slowly but surely, she went back to work and resumed her life. A few months later, the cancer came back. Zara fought hard, but eventually, she succumbed to it all. Anita and I were forced to say goodbye to her last month, and we're still struggling to cope with the loss.</p>\n\n<p>We miss her. We miss the way her eyes would twinkle every time she laughed, and more than anything, we miss hearing her call us mom and dad. Before Zara left us, she made us promise her one thing – that we'd always continue to enjoy life and take holidays whenever we could. You see Zara, was a smart girl, and she had purchased a <a href="http://www.hdfclife.com/term-insurance-plans/" target="_blank">term plan</a> a long time ago. She would pay the premiums every year, and after she passed away, Anita and I received the money from the plan. She had set it up so that we received some of the money every year. Anita and I don't intend to break our promise. We're going to use the money Zara left us to visit all the places she wanted us to go to.</p>\n\n<p>We're lucky to have had a daughter like Zara, one who always thought about the future. Not just her own future, but our future too. You may be Zara's age, or you may be older than her, or perhaps a few years younger. As a father, I ask you to do one thing – always take care of your family first. Zara did, and even though the money doesn't make up for all the things we miss about her, it does leave us with a sense of pride, and <a href="/term-insurance-plans/click-2-protect-plus-3d?source=M_knowledgecentre_C2P3D_AGamePlan_May2017&utm_medium=content" target="_blank">peace of mind</a>, knowing that we won't have to worry about money in the future. Life is unpredictable. Anita and I have had to face this fact last month. It's difficult to have to say goodbye to a child, but we're proud of Zara. We're thankful that she took measures to ensure we'd always be financially secure, and we're going to use the money she left us wisely.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Similar Articles:</strong></p>\n\n<ul>\n\t<li><a href="/insurance-knowledge-centre/tax-saving-insurance/tax-planning-tips-for-salaried-employees/" target="_blank" title="Tax Saving Tips">Tax Planning For Salaried Employees</a></li>\n\t<li><a href="/insurance-knowledge-centre/investment-for-future-planning/best-long-term-investment-options-in-2015" target="_blank" title="Long Term Investments">Long Term Investment Options</a></li>\n\t<li><a href="/insurance-knowledge-centre/tax-saving-insurance/Tax-Structure-in-India" target="_blank" title="Indian Tax System">Tax Structure In India</a></li>\n</ul>'}, {'publish_at': '2016-11-04T10:20:00Z', 'url': '/insurance-knowledge-centre/about-life-insurance/insurance-myths', 'slug': 'insurance-myths', 'image': {'banner': 'NHs1ROzIjpqDIYK'}, 'tag_list': [{'text': 'Insurance Basics', 'link': '/insurance-knowledge-centre/about-life-insurance'}, {'text': 'Tax', 'link': '/insurance-knowledge-centre/tax-saving-insurance'}, {'text': 'Health', 'link': '/insurance-knowledge-centre/secure-your-health'}, {'text': 'Retirement', 'link': '/insurance-knowledge-centre/retirement-planning'}, {'text': 'Child', 'link': '/insurance-knowledge-centre/child-future-planning'}, {'text': 'Investment', 'link': '/insurance-knowledge-centre/investment-for-future-planning'}], 'tags': ['Insurance Basics', 'Tax', 'Health', 'Retirement', 'Child', 'Investment'], 'blog_author': None, 'tile_image': 'https://brandsite-static.hdfclife.com/media/image/KC_Article_Resized_Image_tile.jpg', 'categories': ['insurance-knowledge-centre', 'about-life-insurance'], 'thumbnail_image': 'https://brandsite-static.hdfclife.com/media/image/KC_Article_Resized_Image_thumb.jpg', 'title': 'Life Insurance Myths', 'excerpt': 'There are a lot of misconceptions associated with Insurance.

The main objective of insurance is to provide protection to you and your family and to build an assured corpus for your future needs.</p>\n</li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Insurance will benefit only after my death</strong></p>\n<p>Insurance policies provide protection to you and your family. One of the main objectives of taking insurance is to provide financial cushion to your family in case you are not around but it\'s not the only objective. Insurance helps you to build a corpus for yourself; provides you with comfortable retired life and even takes care of your lengthy medical bills.</p>\n</li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>My group insurance is adequate</strong></p>\n<p>Your\xa0<a href="/group-insurance-plans" target="_blank">group insurance</a>\xa0might be adequate but what if you change the job?

Your work profile changes the insurance needs but certainly does not eliminate them.</p>\n</li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>I\'m single and don\'t have any dependents, therefore I don\'t need any coverage</strong></p>\n<p>You might not need a <a href="/" target="_blank" title="Life Insurance Company in India">life insurance</a> policy where your nominee is taken care of but you certainly need a policy to take care of your health and retirement worries..</p>\n</li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Life insurance is far more important than health coverage</strong></p>\n<p>As the health costs are increasing by the day, taking a\xa0<a href="/health-insurance-plans" target="_blank">health insurance</a>\xa0plan has become as important as a life coverage plan.

It can have a debilitating effect on the individual’s lifestyle and can incur considerable treatment cost, apart from loss of income from inability to work.</p>\n\n<h3>Who can benefit from the critical illness policy/rider?</h3>\n\n<p>The critical illness policy/ rider can be particularly beneficial for individuals who wish to take no chances with certain health conditions, especially if they have a medical history.

If the individual is diagnosed with one of the critical illnesses specified in the critical illness rider, he will receive a lump sum payment within a specified number of days. The amount equals the sum assured for the critical illness insurance rider and is different from the basic sum assured/life cover disbursed on death or maturity. The critical illness insurance amount is disbursed whether or not the insured undergoes any treatment. Some insurers as defined by the policy terms and conditions, disburse the amount towards the critical illness rider over and above the sum assured. Other companies deduct the disbursal proceeds from the sum assured, which stands revised post-disbursal.\u200b</p>\n\n<h3><strong>More articles on Health Insurance:</strong></h3>\n\n<ul>\n\t<li><a href="https://onlineinsurance.hdfclife.com/buy-online-health-insurance-plans/health-assure-plan?source=W-TEBT_KC_BodyLinks_HRI" target="_blank" title="Buy Health Insurance Plan Online">Buy Health Insurance Plan Online</a></li>\n\t<li><a href="/insurance-knowledge-centre/secure-your-health/right-health-insurance-plan" target="_blank" title="How to choose the right health insurance plan?">How to choose the right health insurance plan?</a></li>\n\t<li><a href="/health-insurance/introduction" target="_blank" title="Benefits of health insurance">Benefits of health insurance</a></li>\n\t<li><a href="/insurance-knowledge-centre/secure-your-health" target="_blank" title="Health Insurance Guide">Health Insurance Guide</a></li>\n\t<li><a href="/insurance-knowledge-centre/investment-for-future-planning/critical-illness-insurance-comparison" target="_blank" title="Compare Critical Illness Insurance Plans">Critical Illness Insurance Comparison</a></li>\n\t<li><a href="/insurance-knowledge-centre/secure-your-health/expensive-medical-emergencies" target="_blank" title="Tackling Expensive Medical Emergencies with Health Insurance">How to Tackle Expensive Medical Emergencies with Health Insurance</a></li>\n\t<li><a href="/insurance-knowledge-centre/secure-your-health/difference-health-mediclaim-plan" target="_blank" title="Difference between Health Insurance and Mediclaim">Difference between Health Insurance and Mediclaim</a></li>\n\t<li><a href="/health-insurance/need-for-health-plan" target="_blank" title="Importance of Health Insurance">Need for Health Insurance Plans</a></li>\n</ul>\n\n<p> </p>\n\n<p style="text-align: center;"> </p>\n</div>\n</div>'}, {'publish_at': '2016-11-07T12:32:00Z', 'url': '/insurance-knowledge-centre/secure-your-health/difference-health-mediclaim-plan', 'slug': 'difference-health-mediclaim-plan', 'image': {'banner': 'fEGlZ0PHXKjnzcR'}, 'tag_list': [{'text': 'Health', 'link': '/insurance-knowledge-centre/secure-your-health'}, {'text': 'Retirement', 'link': '/insurance-knowledge-centre/retirement-planning'}, {'text': 'Investment', 'link': '/insurance-knowledge-centre/investment-for-future-planning'}, {'text': 'Child', 'link': '/insurance-knowledge-centre/child-future-planning'}, {'text': 'Insurance Basics', 'link': '/insurance-knowledge-centre/about-life-insurance'}, {'text': 'Tax', 'link': '/insurance-knowledge-centre/tax-saving-insurance'}], 'tags': ['Health', 'Retirement', 'Investment', 'Child', 'Insurance Basics', 'Tax'], 'blog_author': None, 'tile_image': 'https://brandsite-static.hdfclife.com/media/image/RS-HP2_bD7tWl9_tile.jpg', 'categories': ['insurance-knowledge-centre', 'secure-your-health'], 'thumbnail_image': 'https://brandsite-static.hdfclife.com/media/image/RS-HP2_bD7tWl9_thumb.jpg', 'title': 'How is a health insurance plan different from mediclaim policy?', 'excerpt': 'Many people opting for health cover are unaware about the difference between a mediclaim policy and health insurance.

The mediclaim premium is based on the sum assured.</p>\n\n\t<p>The amount paid towards mediclaim premium for self/spouse/children provides tax exemption under section 80D for a maximum of Rs 15,000 with another Rs 15,000 benefit on premium of mediclaim policy for parents (Rs 20,000 if parents are senior citizens). Although, not advisable, mediclaim must not be taken for the tax benefit, else it degenerates into a <a href="/insurance-knowledge-centre/tax-saving-insurance/tax-saving-investments-in-2015/" target="_blank" title="Top Tax Saving Investments in India for 2015">tax saving investment</a>, rather than a lifeline for yourself and your family.</p>\n\t</li>\n\t<li><strong>Health Insurance</strong><br />\n\tSome features of health insurance plans include:\n\t<ul>\n\t\t<li>Comprehensive <a href="/health-insurance-plans/easy-health" target="_blank" title="Critical Illness Plan">critical illness cover</a> – as many as 30 illnesses in certain plans</li>\n\t\t<li>Discount on premium if sum assured exceeds a particular limit like Rs 10 lakhs for instance</li>\n\t\t<li>Flexibility to reduce premium after a specified period</li>\n\t\t<li>Flexibility to reduce sum assured after a specified period</li>\n\t\t<li>Flexibility to reduce policy term after a specified period</li>\n\t\t<li>Health insurance premium provide tax exemption under section <a href="/insurance-knowledge-centre/tax-saving-insurance/Deduction-under-section-80D/" target="_blank">80D of Income Tax Act 1961</a>, this being one of the few meeting points between health insurance and mediclaim</li>\n\t</ul>\n\t</li>\n</ul>\n\n<p>Evidently health insurance plans are far superior to mediclaim in terms of breadth of diseases and illnesses covered, quantum of sum assured and flexibility.

To complicate matters, costs towards medical treatment, particularly for serious conditions are no longer affordable for a majority of individuals.</p>\n<p>Let’s take cardiovascular ailments which are particularly common in India. Treating a heart ailment, especially, if it involves surgery, can be expensive. That is, if you are looking for high quality surgery since this is one area where cutting corners can prove very costly in the long run.</p>\n<p>The actual cost of the surgery is dictated by a variety of factors like severity of the heart condition, type of surgery, related risk factors, type of medical facility, surgeon’s experience and expertise. Today, cost of a heart surgery in India could vary in the range of Rs 1.5 lakhs to Rs 3 lakhs. Five years later it could be a lot more expensive.</p>\n<p>The illustration below highlights how cost of heart surgery can be expected to rise over the years.</p>\n</div>\n<div class="float-left" id="mymain">\n<div class="inner-plans-wrp generic ">\n<table border="1" class="tbl-eligibility">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Cost of heart surgery today(in Rs)</td>\n<td>\xa02,00,000</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Annual rise in medical cost(in %)</td>\n<td>\xa010</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Future value of heart surgery after 5 years(in Rs)</td>\n<td>\xa03,22,102</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Future value of heart surgery after 10 years(in Rs)</td>\n<td>5,18,748</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Future value of heart surgery after 15 years(in Rs)</td>\n<td>8,35,450</td>\n</tr>\n</tbody>\n</table>\n<p>(Cost of heart surgery and rise in costs are estimates and do not represent actual values.)</p>\n<p>As is evident from the illustration, after 5 years a Rs 2 lakh heart surgery will cost over Rs 3.22 lakhs. After 10 years it will be Rs 5.19 and Rs 8.35 lakhs after 15 years. If an individual hasn’t saved that kind of money, he would have no option other than to dip into his savings and investments or worse borrow money.</p>\n<p>One way to provide for medical emergencies is by taking a <a href="/health-insurance-plans" target="_blank" title="health plan">health plan</a> from an insurance company. Health plans offer a lot of flexibility both in terms of coverage and disbursal. For instance, certain health plans cover as many as 30 critical illnesses and over 80 surgical procedures.

This means the employer’s contribution to the employee’s National Pension Scheme is deducted from the annual salary.

Remember some things remain basic or common irrespective of which regime you choose. For instance income from salary is the sum of your basic salary, housing rent allowance and any other allowances included.\n\nUnder the old tax regime, a standard deduction of Rs 50,000 is allowed. Neither the standard deduction nor any exemptions can be availed of in the new tax regime.\n\nLet’s understand the impact of both regimes on your tax liability. Say you have total income of Rs 16,70,000 combined from salary and other sources. If you make investments under Sections 80C, 80TTA and 80D, you qualify for a deduction of about Rs 1,70,000 from your taxable income. Thus your taxable income is now Rs 15 lakh. This however does not mean that you have to pay 30% tax on Rs 15,00,000. Since tax rules change regularly in India, it is best to consult your CA or your tax advisor for any clarifications."\n }\n }]\n}\n</script>', 'label': 'head tag script'}, 'validations': {}}, {'type': 'textfield', 'data': {'slug': 'article-button-text', 'value': 'Income Tax calculator', 'label': 'article button text'}, 'validations': {}}, {'type': 'textfield', 'data': {'slug': 'article-button-link', 'value': 'https://www.hdfclife.com/financial-tools-calculators/income-tax-calculator', 'label': 'article button link'}, 'validations': {}}], 'view_count': 471778, 'banner_image': {'url': 'https://brandsite-static.hdfclife.com/media/image/Income_Tax_Slab_2019-20.jpg', 'thumbnail_image': 'https://brandsite-static.hdfclife.com/media/image/Income_Tax_Slab_2019-20_thumb.jpg', 'id': '9AZiSAYrcDqWsgb', 'tile_image': 'https://brandsite-static.hdfclife.com/media/image/Income_Tax_Slab_2019-20_tile.jpg', 'alt': {'en': ''}, 'banner_image': 'https://brandsite-static.hdfclife.com/media/image/Income_Tax_Slab_2019-20.jpg'}, 'content': '<p>According to the current income tax slabs 2020-2021, the taxation of income of resident individuals below 60 years is as given:</p>\n\n<table border="1" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">\n\t<tbody>\n\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t<th style="width: 250px;">Taxable income</th>\n\t\t\t<th>Tax Rate<br />\n\t\t\t(Existing Scheme)</th>\n\t\t\t<th>Tax Rate<br />\n\t\t\t(New Scheme)</th>\n\t\t</tr>\n\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t<td>Up to Rs. 2,50,000</td>\n\t\t\t<td>Nil</td>\n\t\t\t<td>Nil</td>\n\t\t</tr>\n\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t<td>Rs. 2,50,001 to Rs. 5,00,000</td>\n\t\t\t<td>5%</td>\n\t\t\t<td>5%</td>\n\t\t</tr>\n\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t<td>Rs. 5,00,001 to Rs. 7,50,000</td>\n\t\t\t<td>20%</td>\n\t\t\t<td>10%</td>\n\t\t</tr>\n\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t<td>Rs. 7,50,001 to Rs. 10,00,000</td>\n\t\t\t<td>20%</td>\n\t\t\t<td>15%</td>\n\t\t</tr>\n\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t<td>Rs. 10,00,001 to Rs. 12,50,000</td>\n\t\t\t<td>30%</td>\n\t\t\t<td>20%</td>\n\t\t</tr>\n\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t<td>Rs. 12,50,001 to Rs. 15,00,000</td>\n\t\t\t<td>30%</td>\n\t\t\t<td>25%</td>\n\t\t</tr>\n\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t<td>Above Rs. 15,00,000</td>\n\t\t\t<td>30%</td>\n\t\t\t<td>30%</td>\n\t\t</tr>\n\t</tbody>\n</table>\n\n<p> </p>\n\n<p style="text-align: center;"><a class="nav-btn red-btn" href="https://www.hdfclife.com/insurance-knowledge-centre/tax-saving-insurance/income-tax-slab-2020-21" rel="noopener" style="position: relative; color: #fff; background: #d51d25; border-radius: 2px; vertical-align: middle; font: 14px \'Source Sans Pro\'; font-weight: 600; padding: 10px 20px; margin-right: 8px; margin-left: 0;" target="_blank">Latest Income Tax Slab 2020-21</a></p>\n\n<h2><strong>What is an income tax slab?</strong></h2>\n\n<p>Under the Income Tax Act, 1961 – the percentage of income that is payable as tax to the Government is based on the amount of income that a person has earned during a year.</p>\n\n<p>Keeping in mind, the fact that the outgoing of tax is tougher for people earning lower income –in India the rate of tax gets higher for people earning higher amounts in a financial year.

NPS contributions qualify for up to Rs 50,000 deduction under Sec 80 CCD.</p>\n\t</li>\n\t<li>\n\t<p align="justify">Be charitable: Donations to charitable institutions are deductible under Section 80 G. However not all deductions are covered here, so it’s best to confirm with your CA or tax consultant.</p>\n\t</li>\n</ol>\n\n<h3><strong>⭐ Is it possible to file ATR for AY 2020-21 now?</strong></h3>\n\n<p align="justify">Yes, you can pay your advance tax and file your advance tax returns (ATR) as the Income Tax Department has already notified the IT returns for high value transactions. These transactions include paying power bills amounting to Rs 1 lakh and foreign travel worth Rs 2 lakh.</p>\n\n<p align="justify">You can download the ITR 1 from the Income Tax department’s website. You can file the ITR either by uploading an XML file or via online submission. ITR 1 is to be filed by those whose income is Rs 50 lakh and more, coming from such sources as salary/pension, and house property. The last date of filing ITR-1 for FY 2019-20 is 30 November, 2020.</p>\n\n<h3><strong>⭐ What is the standard deduction for AY 2020-21?</strong></h3>\n\n<p align="justify">With an additional Rs 10,000, the standard deduction allowed for Financial Year 2019-20 was taken up to Rs 50,000 following the provisions of the Interim Budget 2019. This brought much relief to the salaried and middle class, thereby also softening the impact of inflation. The standard deduction in the previous assessment years was Rs 40,000. With this, the taxable income of a person earning an annual salary of Rs 8 lakh is reduced from Rs 7,60,000 to Rs 7,50,000.</p>\n\n<h3><strong>⭐ What is the meaning of section 87 A under the IT Act?</strong></h3>\n\n<p align="justify">Section 87A is a legal provision which allows for tax rebate under the Income Tax Act of 1961. The section which was inserted through the Finance Act of 2013 provides tax relief for individuals earning below a specified limit. Section 87 A provides that anyone who is residing in India and whose income does not exceed Rs 3,50,000 is eligible to claim a rebate. This rebate is applicable only to individuals and not companies, etc and is calculated before adding the health and educational cess of 4 %.</p>\n\n<h3><strong>⭐ How should I calculate Income Tax for F.Y 2019-20?</strong></h3>\n\n<p align="justify">Financial Year 2020-21 allows an individual tax payer to pay his taxes by opting for either of two tax regimes. The old tax regime and the new one. The new income tax regime gives the individual the freedom to continue with the old tax regime if he/she so wishes. The old or existing tax regime will still have its relevant tax deductions and exemptions. The new tax structure has only one deduction which is the one under Section 80CCD(2). This means the employer’s contribution to the employee’s National Pension Scheme is deducted from the annual salary. Under both old and new regimes, you can deduct Rs 2,50,000 from your gross salary to arrive at your net taxable income since the exemption is applicable to both regimes.</p>\n\n<h3><strong>⭐ How are the new IT slabs calculated?</strong></h3>\n\n<p align="justify">Here’s how to calculate the tax payable by you for both the existing and new regimes. Remember some things remain basic or common irrespective of which regime you choose. For instance income from salary is the sum of your basic salary, housing rent allowance and any other allowances included.</p>\n\n<p align="justify">Under the old tax regime, a standard deduction of Rs 50,000 is allowed. Neither the standard deduction nor any exemptions can be availed of in the new tax regime.</p>\n\n<p align="justify">Let’s understand the impact of both regimes on your tax liability. Say you have total income of Rs 16,70,000 combined from salary and other sources. If you make investments under Sections 80C, 80TTA and 80D, you qualify for a deduction of about Rs 1,70,000 from your taxable income. Thus your taxable income is now Rs 15 lakh. This however does not mean that you have to pay 30% tax on Rs 15,00,000. Since tax rules change regularly in India, it is best to consult your CA or your tax advisor for any clarifications.</p>\n\n<p><strong>ARN: ED/10/19/16278</strong></p>'}, {'publish_at': '2016-11-07T04:55:03Z', 'url': '/insurance-knowledge-centre/about-life-insurance/type-of-life-insurance', 'slug': 'type-of-life-insurance', 'image': {'banner': 'KeylUdbBQkcMFl0'}, 'tag_list': [{'text': 'Insurance Basics', 'link': '/insurance-knowledge-centre/about-life-insurance'}, {'text': 'Tax', 'link': '/insurance-knowledge-centre/tax-saving-insurance'}, {'text': 'Health', 'link': '/insurance-knowledge-centre/secure-your-health'}, {'text': 'Retirement', 'link': '/insurance-knowledge-centre/retirement-planning'}, {'text': 'Child', 'link': '/insurance-knowledge-centre/child-future-planning'}, {'text': 'Investment', 'link': '/insurance-knowledge-centre/investment-for-future-planning'}], 'tags': ['Insurance Basics', 'Tax', 'Health', 'Retirement', 'Child', 'Investment'], 'blog_author': None, 'tile_image': 'https://brandsite-static.hdfclife.com/media/image/term_insurance_commparision_874-X-364_tile.jpg', 'categories': ['insurance-knowledge-centre', 'about-life-insurance'], 'thumbnail_image': 'https://brandsite-static.hdfclife.com/media/image/term_insurance_commparision_874-X-364_thumb.jpg', 'title': 'Life Insurance Policy - Types and Features', 'excerpt': 'Learn about different types and features of life insurance policy and plans.

In this policy, a person has to make regular payments<strong>(known as premiums)</strong>to the insurance company in order to receive a sum of money that will be paid to them after a period of time, or to their family, in case of the policyholder’s death, or if the policy matures. Typically, this type of policy is chosen based on your needs and goals.</p>\n\n<h2><big><strong>Different Types of Life Insurance Policies in India:</strong></big></h2>\n\n<p>There are two basic types of life insurance policies:</p>\n\n<h3>1.) Traditional Whole Life</h3>\n\n<p>A Whole Life Policy is a policy in which you pay till death of the policy holder</p>\n\n<h3>2.) Term Life Insurance</h3>\n\n<p>A Term Life Insurance is a policy for a fixed amount of time.</p>\n\n<p> </p>\n\n<table align="Center" border="1" width="100%">\n\t<tbody>\n\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t<td>\n\t\t\t<p>Sr No.</p>\n\t\t\t</td>\n\t\t\t<td>\n\t\t\t<p><strong>Type of Insurance Policy</strong></p>\n\t\t\t</td>\n\t\t\t<td>\n\t\t\t<p><strong>Features</strong></p>\n\t\t\t</td>\n\t\t</tr>\n\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t<td> 1</td>\n\t\t\t<td>\n\t\t\t<p><a href="https://www.hdfclife.com/term-insurance-plans" target="_blank"><strong>Term Life Insurance</strong></a></p>\n\t\t\t</td>\n\t\t\t<td>Term insurance is a life insurance product offered by an insurance company which offers financial coverage to the policy holder for a specific time period.</td>\n\t\t</tr>\n\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t<td> 2</td>\n\t\t\t<td>\n\t\t\t<p><a href="https://www.hdfclife.com/insurance-plans" target="_blank"><strong>Whole Life Policy</strong></a></p>\n\t\t\t</td>\n\t\t\t<td>The policyholder pays regular premiums until his death, upon which the corpus is paid out to the family.</td>\n\t\t</tr>\n\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t<td> 3</td>\n\t\t\t<td>\n\t\t\t<p><a href="https://www.hdfclife.com/savings-investment-plans" target="_blank"><strong>Endowment Plans</strong></a></p>\n\t\t\t</td>\n\t\t\t<td>Endowment plans pay out the sum assured under both scenarios - death and survival</td>\n\t\t</tr>\n\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t<td> 4</td>\n\t\t\t<td>\n\t\t\t<p><a href="https://www.hdfclife.com/savings-investment-plans/click-2-invest-ulip-plan" target="_blank"><strong>Unit Linked Insurance Plans</strong></a></p>\n\t\t\t</td>\n\t\t\t<td>ULIP is a life insurance product, which provides risk cover for the policy holder along with investment options to invest in any number of qualified investments.</td>\n\t\t</tr>\n\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t<td> 5</td>\n\t\t\t<td>\n\t\t\t<p><a href="https://www.hdfclife.com/savings-investment-plans/super-income-plan" target="_blank"><strong>Money Back Policy</strong></a></p>\n\t\t\t</td>\n\t\t\t<td>Money back plan is a life insurance product as well as an investment plan which provides life insurance cover against death of the policy holder along with periodic returns as a percentage of sum assured.</td>\n\t\t</tr>\n\t</tbody>\n</table>\n\n<p> </p>\n\n<h2><a href="https://www.hdfclife.com/term-insurance-plans" target="_blank">Term insurance</a></h2>\n\n<p><a href="/term-insurance-plans" target="_blank" title="Term Insurance Policy">Term plans</a> are the most basic type of life insurance. They provide life cover with no savings / profits component. They are the most affordable form of life insurance as premiums are cheaper compared to other <a href="https://www.hdfclife.com/insurance-plans" target="_blank">life insurance plans.</a></p>\n\n<p>Online term insurance plans provide pure risk cover, which explains the lower premiums. A fixed sum of money - the sum assured – is paid to the beneficiaries if the policyholder expires over the policy term. If the policyholder survives, there is no pay out.</p>\n\n<h2>Endowment plans</h2>\n\n<p>Endowment plans differ from term plans in one critical aspect i.e. maturity benefit. Unlike term plans which pay out the sum assured, along with profits, only in case of an eventuality over the policy term, endowment plans pay out the sum assured under both scenarios – death and survival. However, endowment plans charge higher fees / expenses – reflected in premiums – for paying out sum assured, along with profits, in either scenario – death or maturity. The profits are an outcome of premiums being invested in asset markets – equities and debt.</p>\n\n<h2><a href="https://www.hdfclife.com/savings-investment-plans/click-2-invest-ulip-plan" target="_blank">Unit linked insurance plans (ULIP)</a></h2>\n\n<p>ULIPs are a variant of the traditional endowment plan.They pay out the sum assured (or the investment portfolio if its higher) on death/maturity.</p>\n\n<p>ULIPs differ from traditional endowment plans in certain areas. As the name suggests, performance of <a href="https://www.hdfclife.com/ulip-plans" target="_blank">ULIP</a> is linked to markets. Individuals can choose the allocation for investments in stock/debt markets. The value of the investment portfolio is captured by the <strong>NAV</strong> (net asset value). To that end, there are many similarities between ULIPs and mutual funds. ULIPs differ in one area, they are a combination of investment and insurance, while mutual funds are a pure investment avenue</p>\n\n<h2>Whole life policy</h2>\n\n<p>A <a href="/savings-investment-plans/sampoorn-samridhi-plus-whole-life-insurance-plan" target="_blank" title="Whole Life Insurance Policy">whole life insurance</a> policy covers a policyholder over his life. The main feature of a whole life policy is that the validity of the policy is not defined so the individual enjoys the life cover throughout his life. The policyholder pays regular premiums until his death, upon which the corpus is paid out to the family.

These could be low risk-low return instruments like bank deposits and small savings, or higher risk products such as equity, which can offer potentially higher returns. Insurance scores over other investment vehicles in a number of aspects</p>\n\n<h2 class="img-wrp" style="text-align: left;"><strong>Life Insurance for Future Goal Planning</strong></h2>\n\n<ul>\n\t<li>\n\t<h3><strong>Certainty</strong></h3>\n\n\t<p>Once a goal has been identified and a value for it has been crystallized, a <a href="https://www.hdfclife.com/insurance-knowledge-centre/about-life-insurance/what-is-life-insurance/" target="_blank">life insurance policy</a> is an excellent vehicle to fund the goal. This is because one can be rest assured that even in the unfortunate event of death or even critical illness, the sum assured will fund a future goal of the policyholder.</p>\n\t</li>\n\t<li>\n\t<h3><strong>Tax efficient</strong></h3>\n\n\t<p>Maturity benefits of most insurance policies are tax free under Section 10 (10D) and the premium paid is eligible for deduction under Section 80C of the Income Tax Act, 1961.</p>\n\t</li>\n\t<li>\n\t<h3><strong>Flexibility</strong></h3>\n\n\t<p>Insurance products, especially Unit Linked Plans, provide flexibility in terms of asset allocation to suit specific risk appetites, policy durations, premium payment terms and fund switching options.</p>\n\t</li>\n\t<li>\n\t<h3><strong>Wider options</strong></h3>\n\n\t<p>Depending on the time horizon of the goal, the return required and the investor's risk appetite, a broad spectrum of asset allocations between equity and debt is possible in a Unit Linked Plan. An investor may tailor his policy to suit his requirement.</p>\n\t</li>\n\t<li>\n\t<h3><strong>Liquidity</strong></h3>\n\n\t<p>Most Insurance products offer good liquidity after the lock-in period to take care of any emergency requirement of funds. But they do have inherent deterrents in the form of charges to discourage unnecessary encashment.</p>\n\t</li>\n\t<li>\n\t<h3><strong>Earmarking</strong></h3>\n\n\t<p>Very often an insurance policy is taken for a specific goal. This therefore can become a deterrent against utilizing these funds for any other purpose and also encourages continued contributions.</p>\n\t</li>\n</ul>\n\n<h2><strong>Insurance for Financial Security</strong></h2>\n\n<p>Insurance helps you to provide for contingent liabilities like hospitalization, critical illness, debt redemption, etc. in a cost efficient manner.</p>\n\n<ul class="markers mrgn-left0 pad-bottom10 mrgn-top10 list-check">\n\t<li>\n\t<h3><strong>Term insurance</strong></h3>\n\n\t<p><a href="/term-insurance-plans" target="_blank">Term insurance</a> is the simplest form of life cover, which pays the sum assured on death. This is useful to simply provide for a family's survival in the unfortunate event of demise of the bread winner. This can also be used to cover repayment of any debt of a policy holder by simply assigning the policy to the creditor. Upon maturity or claim on the policy, the proceeds are paid to the creditor. Loan Cover policies are a variant where the sum assured keeps reducing in line with the loan balance.</p>\n\t</li>\n\t<li>\n\t<h3><strong><a href="/health-insurance-plans" target="_blank">Health insurance</a></strong></h3>\n\n\t<p>These policies provide cover against major health care expenses like hospitalization, surgery, critical illness, etc. The benefits could be in the form of fixed pay-outs on hospitalization or a lump sum on diagnosis against some specified critical illnesses.</p>\n\t</li>\n\t<li>\n\t<h3><strong>Accident benefit</strong></h3>\n\n\t<p>This is usually an add-on cover over a basic policy and pays an additional sum assured to the beneficiary in case of death due to accident. Since accidental death is sudden and unforeseen, the family could be faced with issues like relocation, debt servicing and other requirement for funds.</p>\n\t</li>\n</ul>\n\n<h2><strong>Retirement Planning</strong></h2>\n\n<p>Indian life expectancy has improved dramatically over the years due to availability of advanced medical facilities. However, a longer working life may not really be possible due to occurrences of life-style induced illness and high burn-out rate. The evolving demographic balance with plenty of young talent becoming continuously available may also be a deterring factor to a longer working life unless one is self-employed.</p>\n\n<p>Consequently, our retirement life span could well be as long as our active working life span. This means that we have to build a solid corpus during our active life to maintain our life style for the long post retirement life if we are to enjoy the true meaning of the word "retirement". <a href="/retirement-and-pension-plans" target="_blank">Pension Plans</a> help us build up our savings during our earning years and provide us a lump sum on retirement. This lump sum can then provide us a retirement income by investing in an annuity.</p>\n\n<h2><strong>Provide Post Retirement Income</strong></h2>\n\n<p>The worst situation that a retiree can face is to run out of funds late into retirement. Such a situation may force him to seek help from friends / relatives or liquidate his fixed assets which essentially are a compromise of self-respect. This is where insurance offers the best solution in the form of an annuity. Annuities bought from the retirement corpus can either be used to provide regular post retirement income for a fixed term or for the entire life.</p>\n\n<p>A <a href="/retirement-and-pension-plans/click-2-retire" target="_blank" title="Pension Scheme">pension scheme</a> may be broadly divided into two phases, namely accumulation (pre-retirement) and distribution or consumption (post-retirement). In the above graph*, we assume a 30-year old who plans to retire at the age of 60 years and expects to live till the age of 80 years. His accumulation phase is between the age of 30 and 60 years when he builds his retirement corpus and distribution phase is between the age of 60 and 80 years when he drfaws down this corpus for his living. <a href="/retirement-and-pension-plans" target="_blank">Pension Plans</a> ensure that the distribution phase of your life is as comfortable as your earning years.</p>\n\n<p>* This is only to explain the point and the figures are not based on any calculation.</p>\n\n<h2><strong>Insurance as Inflation Shield</strong></h2>\n\n<p>Inflation lowers the purchasing power of money and makes a dramatic cumulative impact over the long term. It reduces our real income year after year as our cost of living keeps increasing. So, it must be taken into account while framing financial goals.</p>\n\n<p>The following illustration depicts the impact of inflation on income and prices.</p>\n\n<p>Insurance products such as <a href="/insurance-knowledge-centre/about-life-insurance/what-is-ulip-plans/" target="_blank" title="Unit Linked Insurance Plans">Unit Linked Plans</a> help us combat the impact of inflation on our financial goals by providing the option to invest in equity, which is known to deliver one of the best returns from all asset classes, over the long term. Ignoring inflation would result in our savings falling short of the estimated value of future goals, especially over the long term.</p>\n\n<h3><strong>Similar Articles</strong></h3>\n\n<ul>\n\t<li><a href="/insurance-plans" target="_blank" title="Insurance Plans">Life Insurance Plans</a></li>\n\t<li><a href="/insurance-knowledge-centre/about-life-insurance/type-of-insurance" target="_blank" title="Types of Insurance">Types of Insurance</a></li>\n\t<li><a href="https://onlineinsurance.hdfclife.com/buy-online-term-insurance-plans/click-2-protect-plus?source=W_KC_BodyLinks_T2P" target="_blank" title="HDFC Life Click2Protect Term Plan Calculator">HDFC Life Click2Protect Term Plan Calculator</a></li>\n\t<li><a href="/insurance-knowledge-centre/investment-for-future-planning/right-insurance-plan" target="_blank" title="How do I choose and decide on the right plan?">How do I choose and decide on the right plan?</a></li>\n\t<li><a href="/insurance-knowledge-centre/compare-life-insurance-plans/health-insurance-comparison/" target="_blank" title="Compare Health Plans and Policies">Health Insurance Comparison</a></li>\n\t<li><a href="http://blog.hdfclife.com/advantages-of-online-life-insurance-532220" target="_blank" title="Insurance, Just a Click Away!">Insurance, Just a Click Away!</a></li>\n</ul>\n\n<h3><strong>Related Articles</strong></h3>\n\n<ul>\n\t<li><a href="https://www.hdfclife.com/insurance-knowledge-centre/about-life-insurance/how-to-choose-right-plan" target="_blank">Tips to Choose the Best Insurance Policy</a></li>\n\t<li><a href="https://www.hdfclife.com/insurance-knowledge-centre/about-life-insurance/life-insurance-necessary-for-long-term-financial-security" target="_blank">Click 2 Protect Health, Benefits</a></li>\n\t<li><a href="https://www.hdfclife.com/insurance-knowledge-centre/about-life-insurance/advantages-of-buying-life-insurance-early" target="_blank">Advantages of Buying Insurance Early</a></li>\n\t<li><a href="https://www.hdfclife.com/insurance-knowledge-centre/about-life-insurance/10-reasons-why-you-need-to-invest-in-life-insurance" target="_blank">10 Reasons Why You Need to Invest in Life Insurance</a></li>\n</ul>\n\n<p style="text-align: center;"><a class="nav-btn red-btn" href="https://www.hdfclife.com/online-life-insurance-plans" rel="noopener" style="position: relative; color: #fff; background: #d51d25; border-radius: 2px; vertical-align: middle; font: 14px \'Source Sans Pro\'; font-weight: 600; padding: 10px 20px; margin-right: 8px; margin-left: 0;" target="_blank">Buy Life Insurance Plans</a></p>'}], 'label': 'CHILD - New'}, 'fields': {'textfield': ['heading-text', 'bottom-button-text', 'bottom-button-link']}}, {'slug': 'knowledge-center-landing-articles-homepage', 'label': 'TAX - New', 'id': 'NPdaPYFU4jMybhx', 'template_url': 'brandsite-home-theme-two/widgets/kc_landing_articles.tpl.html', 'type': 'article_list', 'data': {'bottom-button-text': 'View More', 'bottom-button-link': None, 'heading-text': 'Tax', 'icon_url': None, 'alt': None, 'content': [{'publish_at': '2016-11-07T06:39:02Z', 'url': '/insurance-knowledge-centre/tax-saving-insurance/how-to-file-income-tax-returns-online', 'slug': 'how-to-file-income-tax-returns-online', 'image': {'banner': 'jLnk9IjNhXb2Mjw'}, 'tag_list': [{'text': 'Tax', 'link': '/insurance-knowledge-centre/tax-saving-insurance'}, {'text': 'Insurance Basics', 'link': '/insurance-knowledge-centre/about-life-insurance'}, {'text': 'Health', 'link': '/insurance-knowledge-centre/secure-your-health'}, {'text': 'Retirement', 'link': '/insurance-knowledge-centre/retirement-planning'}, {'text': 'Child', 'link': '/insurance-knowledge-centre/child-future-planning'}, {'text': 'Investment', 'link': '/insurance-knowledge-centre/investment-for-future-planning'}], 'tags': ['Tax', 'Insurance Basics', 'Health', 'Retirement', 'Child', 'Investment'], 'blog_author': None, 'tile_image': 'https://brandsite-static.hdfclife.com/media/image/RS-T2_ctrRhMZ_tile.jpg', 'categories': ['insurance-knowledge-centre', 'tax-saving-insurance'], 'thumbnail_image': 'https://brandsite-static.hdfclife.com/media/image/RS-T2_ctrRhMZ_thumb.jpg', 'title': 'How to File Income Tax Return (ITR) Online', 'excerpt': 'Filing income tax returns is no longer the hassle it used to be.

And the best financial planning tip out there is – start early before it gets too late.</p>\n\n<p class="float-left">When it comes to doling out financial planning tips, there is no one bigger than Warren Buffet – the highly regarded investor guru.</p>\n\n<p class="float-left">When asked in a TV show about ‘the biggest mistake we make when it comes to money’, this is what Warren Buffet had to say:</p>\n\n<p class="float-left"><i>“Well, I think the biggest mistake is not learning the habits of saving properly early. Because saving is a habit. And then, trying to get rich quick. It's pretty easy to get well-to-do slowly. But it's not easy to get rich quick.” </i></p>\n\n<div class="inner-plans-wrp generic ">\n<p><!--</blockquote>--></p>\n</div>\n</div>\n\n<div class="float-left" id="mymain">\n<div class="inner-plans-wrp generic ">\n<p>When it comes to saving there cannot be a bigger mistake than postponing investing. Individuals often underestimate the importance of time in amassing wealth. They assume wrongly that they can always make up for lost time in the future.</p>\n\n<p>So if you are looking for financial planning tips, look no further than these three ideas.</p>\n\n<ul class="pad-left10 pad-bottom10 ol-list" style="text-align: justify;">\n\t<li>\n\t<h2>Get a Head Start in Saving</h2>\n\n\t<p>To understand how important a head start can be - take two friends – Raj and Rahul - in their first jobs. They earn approximately the same salary –Rs 25,000 a month.</p>\n\n\t<p>Raj, the carefree type, cannot be bothered about saving money. Needless to say – he spends about everything he earns.</p>\n\t</li>\n</ul>\n</div>\n</div>\n</div>\n\n<div class="float-left" id="mymain">\n<div class="inner-plans-wrp generic ">\n<ul class="pad-left10 pad-bottom10 ol-list" style="text-align: justify;">\n\t<li>\n\t<p>Rahul is the more conservative one, always saving for the rainy day. As part of his <a href="https://www.hdfclife.com/savings-plans">savings plan</a> for the future, he sets aside 20% of his salary (or Rs 5,000) towards an investment plan. This he proposes to sustain over 30 years.</p>\n\n\t<p>Looking at Rahul’s investments blossoming over the years Raj – the happy go lucky one – realizes rather belatedly that pursuing a high consumption lifestyle was a mistake. He should have begun investing like Rahul. He decides to begin saving towards an investment plan with a commitment of Rs 5,000 per month. Worth noting is that Raj begins investing 10 years later than Rahul, so his is a 20-year investment time frame.</p>\n\t<b>Early bird gets the worm </b>\n\n\t<p><small>(Rate of return on the investment plan is assumed to be 12% CAGR) </small><br />\n\tClearly, Raj’s 10-year delay proves very expensive –to be precise it costs him over Rs 1.25 crores.</p>\n\t</li>\n\t<li>\n\t<h2>Early Life Insurance</h2>\n\n\t<p>Taking <a href="https://www.hdfclife.com/insurance-knowledge-centre/about-life-insurance/type-of-insurance" target="_blank">life insurance</a> at the earliest is another financial planning tip for the family breadwinner. Anyone with a family needs to make sure his loved ones are secure – at least in a financial sense – when he is gone. The best way to achieve this is through a protection plan, also known as a <a href="/term-insurance-plans" target="_blank" title="Term Insurance Plan by HDFC Life">term plan</a>. The earlier one opts for life insurance, lower the premium. As you age, insurance premiums get expensive and if you are beset with health problems, you could end up paying even higher premiums.</p>\n\t</li>\n\t<li>\n\t<h2>Early Health Cover</h2>\n\n\t<p>Equally prudent is to opt for a <a href="/health-insurance-plans" target="_blank" title="Health Insurance Plans by HDFC Life">health plan</a> or mediclaim at the earliest. As you grow older medical policies get expensive and if there is a medical condition, you may struggle to get a policy, at competitive premiums, if at all.</p>\n\t</li>\n</ul>\n\n<h3><strong>Conclusion</strong></h3>\n\n<p>As you can see, when it comes to saving and investing, you must start as early as possible. Delaying your plan even by a year could end up costing you a large chunk later on. Along with your investments, you also need to safeguard your finances and your family’s future. Today, every balanced investment portfolio also contains life and health insurance policies. While life insurance plans can help you grow your money, health policies will take care of your finances in a medical emergency. By saving and investing right from the time you start earning, you can build a financially secure future for yourself and your loved ones.</p>\n</div>\n</div>\n</div>\n\n<h3><strong>Related Articles</strong></h3>\n\n<ul>\n\t<li><a href="https://www.hdfclife.com/insurance-knowledge-centre/investment-for-future-planning/financial-planning-basics" target="_blank">Basics of Financial Planning – A Complete Guide</a></li>\n\t<li><a href="https://www.hdfclife.com/insurance-knowledge-centre/investment-for-future-planning/financial-panning-in-india" target="_blank">Thumb rules for personal financial planning in India</a></li>\n\t<li><a href="https://www.hdfclife.com/insurance-knowledge-centre/investment-for-future-planning/4-financial-planning-tips-to-make-your-dreams-a-reality" target="_blank">4 Financial Planning Tips to make your dreams a reality</a></li>\n\t<li><a href="https://www.hdfclife.com/insurance-knowledge-centre/investment-for-future-planning/financial-planning-and-its-importance" target="_blank">Financial Planning and its Importance</a></li>\n\t<li><a href="https://www.hdfclife.com/insurance-knowledge-centre/investment-for-future-planning/financial-planning" target="_blank">Why do I need Savings & Investment Plans?</a></li>\n\t<li><a href="https://www.hdfclife.com/insurance-knowledge-centre/investment-for-future-planning/important-life-milestones-that-need-you-to-start-saving-for" target="_blank">Important life milestones that need you to start saving for</a></li>\n\t<li><a href="https://www.hdfclife.com/insurance-knowledge-centre/investment-for-future-planning/what-should-be-your-financial-goals-in-your-30s" target="_blank">What should be your financial goals in your 30s? </a></li>\n</ul>\n\n<p> </p>\n</article>\n</div>\n</div>'}, {'publish_at': '2016-11-08T06:02:00Z', 'url': '/insurance-knowledge-centre/tax-saving-insurance/tax-planning-tips-salaried-employees', 'slug': 'tax-planning-tips-salaried-employees', 'image': {'banner': 'W5QsyTcttQjzpfW'}, 'tag_list': [{'text': 'Tax', 'link': '/insurance-knowledge-centre/tax-saving-insurance'}, {'text': 'Insurance Basics', 'link': '/insurance-knowledge-centre/about-life-insurance'}, {'text': 'Health', 'link': '/insurance-knowledge-centre/secure-your-health'}, {'text': 'Retirement', 'link': '/insurance-knowledge-centre/retirement-planning'}, {'text': 'Child', 'link': '/insurance-knowledge-centre/child-future-planning'}, {'text': 'Investment', 'link': '/insurance-knowledge-centre/investment-for-future-planning'}], 'tags': ['Tax', 'Insurance Basics', 'Health', 'Retirement', 'Child', 'Investment'], 'blog_author': None, 'tile_image': 'https://brandsite-static.hdfclife.com/media/image/RS-T1_3KFYAKd_tile.jpg', 'categories': ['insurance-knowledge-centre', 'tax-saving-insurance'], 'thumbnail_image': 'https://brandsite-static.hdfclife.com/media/image/RS-T1_3KFYAKd_thumb.jpg', 'title': 'Tax Planning Tips for Salaried Employees', 'excerpt': 'Tax planning for the salaried employees is a matter of planning and discipline.

So the biggest tax planning tip for salaried employee is to take a good look at Section 80C to maximize take-home salary, legally ‘reduce’ income tax rate and lower tax payout.</p>\n\n\t<p>Section 80C comes with a broad range of options to help individuals lower tax liability.</p>\n\n\t<p>Section 80C offers as much as Rs 150,000 in terms of tax benefit, which tells you how important it is for taxpaying individuals.</p>\n\t</li>\n\t<li>\n\t<h2>Tip 2 – Start with Rs 150,000</h2>\n\n\t<p>Make Rs 150,000 your starting point and work backwards by considering the most suitable options like <a href="https://www.hdfclife.com/insurance-plans" target="_blank" title="Life Insurance India">life insurance</a>, PPF (public provident fund), tax-paying mutual funds, NSC (National Savings Certificate) and so on.</p>\n\n\t<p>The <a href="/savings-investment-plans" target="_blank" title="Investment Plans in India by HDFC Life">investment plans</a> and allocations depend primarily on your financial goals, risk profile and income levels. Your financial planner should be helpful over here. He can guide you on how to make the most of these options.</p>\n\t</li>\n\t<li>\n\t<h2>Tip 3 – Begin with the most important options</h2>\n\n\t<p>While reviewing Section 80C benefits, go for options that you would take anyway, even if there was no tax benefit. Typically this would include life insurance, employee provident fund (EPF) – should your employer qualify for the same, tuition fees and so on. Deduct all these from the Rs 150,000 starting point.</p>\n\t</li>\n\t<li>\n\t<h2>Tip 4 – Move to the second rung options</h2>\n\n\t<p>Once you have got the most important options out of the way, it’s time to take a close look at the second rung. This would typically include tax-saving mutual funds and ULIPs (unit-linked insurance plans) if you are the risk-taking type or PPF and NSC if you prefer low risk options.</p>\n\n\t<p>If you want to invest in a pension plan, then the good news is that premium payment on <a href="/retirement-and-pension-plans" target="_blank" title="Retirement and Pension Plans by HDFC Life">pension plans</a>,under Section 80CCC – a sub-section of Section 80C – also qualify for tax benefits.</p>\n\n\t<p>By the same token, contribution to New Pension Scheme (NPS) – under Section 80CCD – a sub-section of Section 80C, also qualify for tax benefits.</p>\n\t</li>\n\t<li>\n\t<h2>Tip 5 – Have you taken a home loan?</h2>\n\n\t<p>If you have availed a home loan, you can claim tax benefits under Section 80C by furnishing proof of principal re-payment on the home loan.</p>\n\n\t<p>You can also claim tax benefits under Section 24 towards interest payment on the home loan.</p>\n\t</li>\n\t<li>\n\t<h2>Tip 6 – Don’t forget the other sections</h2>\n\n\t<p>While Section 80C seems to hog most of the footage, so to say, when it comes to tax-planning there are other sections that can save a bundle on taxes.</p>\n\n\t<p>While listing the sections may not prove very meaningful, we have listed down the documents individuals need to submit to avail of tax benefits under the sections:</p>\n\n\t<ol>\n\t\t<li>Rent receipts to claim HRA tax benefit</li>\n\t\t<li>Medical bills to claim tax-free medical allowance</li>\n\t\t<li>Proof of travel to claim leave travel allowance (LTA) tax benefit – usually twice in a block of four years</li>\n\t\t<li>Proof of conveyance, if required by company guidelines, to claim conveyance allowance</li>\n\t\t<li>Premium receipt of health insurance/<a href="/insurance-knowledge-centre/secure-your-health/difference-health-mediclaim-plan/" target="_blank" title="Difference Between Health Insurance and Mediclaim Policy">mediclaim</a>, including premium paid on parents’ health insurance – Section 80D</li>\n\t\t<li>Statement of education loan with details of the interest component -
