Smokers ke liye claim process kya hota hai?
Claim process insurer-specific hai. Cashless (network hospital) ya reimbursement dono options available hote hain Term Insurance me. Cashless me hospital directly insurer se settle karta hai. Reimbursement me bills submit karke 30 days me settlement typically. Specific guidance for Smokers per policy T&C.
Smokers insurance ka tax benefit milta hai?
Health insurance premium u/s 80D tax deductible hota hai (subject to limits, tax laws, consult CA). Term/life insurance premium u/s 80C eligible. Maturity/death benefits u/s 10(10D) often tax-free (subject to conditions). Always consult Chartered Accountant for personalized tax advice.
Smokers insurance kab buy karna chahiye?
Insurance early buy karna better hota hai — younger age me premium lower, pre-existing conditions kam hone se waiting period jaldi khatam, aur health profile clean hone se underwriting smooth. Smokers ke liye specific timing consultation me discuss kar sakte ho.
Kya ProWiderKart insurance issue karta hai?
ProWiderKart facilitator hai — direct insurer nahi. Hum IRDAI-licensed insurers ke saath partner ya referral basis pe kaam karte hain aur eligible customers ko unke saath connect karte hain. Policy issuance, terms, premium, aur claims insurer's discretion par hote hain.
Smokers ke liye sum insured kitna hona chahiye?
Adequate sum insured depends on lifestyle, income, dependents, existing liabilities, medical inflation expectations. General rule: health me 10-20x annual income (urban), term me 15-20x annual income. Smokers ke specific case me consultation me detailed assessment hoga.
Free look period kya hai Term Insurance me?
IRDAI mandates 15 days free look period (30 days for online sales) jisme tum policy review kar sakte ho aur cancel kar sakte ho without penalty (only nominal admin charges deducted). Yeh important consumer protection hai. ProWiderKart hamesha advise karta hai free-look period me policy properly review karne ke liye.
Pre-policy medical test Smokers ke liye zaroori hai?
Medical test requirement age, sum insured, declared health condition, aur insurer's underwriting par depend karta hai. Typically: under 45 age + low SA — often no test. 45+ ya high SA — pre-policy medical tests required. Specific case me insurer decide karta hai.
