Gaurav's 5 Commandments of Indian Insurance
Read these before buying any policy in India. They will save you lakhs in claim rejections.
"Never buy health insurance with a 1% room rent cap unless you love paying 40% of the ICU and surgeon bill out of your own pocket. Proportional deductions are real!"
"If someone scratches your car bumper and the repair is ₹4,000, DO NOT file a claim! Paying ₹4,000 out of pocket saves you ₹12,000 in your 50% No-Claim Bonus discount next year."
"Pure Term Insurance is for your family's future. Stop buying endowment policies that return 5% while inflation is 7%. Protect with Term, invest the rest in mutual funds."
"Standard comprehensive car insurance DOES NOT cover water entering your engine (hydrostatic lock). If you drive during Indian monsoons, Engine Protector is non-negotiable."
"Unpaid traffic challans logged by AI highway cameras will haunt your vehicle registration renewal and claim intimation. Check our free challan tool regularly!"
"Confused about claim settlement ratios or finding the lowest premium? Send me a message and my team will handle it."
