Switching Cos for Agents is tough now.

The Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority (IRDA) has asked insurance companies to take steps to protect the interest of their policy holders before they issue No Objection Certificates (NOCs) to the agents leaving them.

The new guidelines ensure that all agents - individuals, corporate as well as banks - continue to sell policies of the same insurance company for at least three years.

In the life insurance industry, those policies where the insurance agent has quit the organization are termed as 'orphan' policies, as there is no intermediary to service them.

IRDA has asked all the agents to submit details of all his policyholders including their contact details before leaving the company. The insurance company, in turn, has to ensure an alternative service arrangement for all those policyholders before giving NOC to the Insurance Agents.

What is The Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority (IRDA)

The Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority (IRDA) is a national agency of the Government of India, based in Hyderabad to regulate and control the insurance industry. It was formed by an act of Parliament known as IRDA Act 1999, which was amended in 2002 to incorporate some budding requirements.

As stated in the act mission of IRDA is "to protect the interests of the policyholders, to regulate, promote and ensure orderly growth of the insurance industry and for matters connected therewith or incidental thereto."

When a policyholder has a complaint to make, he or she must first approach the Grievance or Consumer Complaints cell of the insurer. In the event of there being no response or no satisfactory response, the policyholder may write to the Grievance Redressal Cell of the IRDA which will then take up the matter with the concerned company for examination/re-examination.

IRDA has two websites.In case you are looking for information like regulations, authority and other regulatory information, please visit www.irdaindia.org

Think before using other banks ATM now.

Before April 1, 2009, if you had to use the ATM of any bank with whom you don't have any banking relationship, you ended up paying fees. It meant you had to find the closest ATM belonging to your bank to withdraw cash and make balance inquiries. So RBI introduced a directive to the banks to allow free use of ATM machines irrespective of which bank a customer had accounts with.

This meant that irrespective of which bank you bank with, you could use any other bank's ATM free of cost.

However, now The Reserve Bank of India has decided to put a cap of Rs 10,000 per withdrawal in such (third party) transactions. Also, the number of such transactions will be limited to five times a month from 1st october 2009.

The Indian Banks Association (IBA), proposes to levy a transaction fee of Rs.20 per transaction for using another bank's ATM, Beyond five transactions.

The errors that investors are prone to make.

Having no measurable goals: Investors must know what they want and set realistic and quantifiable financial objectives before the adviser.

Confusing financial planning with tax planning: There's more to your portfolio than just tax-saving. A good planner will help you meet your life's goals without compromising on your lifestyle.

Expecting unrealistic returns: A financial planner is not a magician and can't guarantee high returns. If a planner promises sky-high returns, tread cautiously.

Investing, not planning: People confuse financial planning with investing. Remember, investment is only one of the components of a good financial plan.

Believing that financial plans are for the wealthy: Anyone with long-term financial goals should ideally use the help a financial planner.

Using a one-time financial plan: You have to keep an eye on your plan and ensure that your planner updates it and reviews it periodically.

Your savings bank account can earn you more interest now

Your savings bank account can earn you more interest now.

At present, the interest (3.5 per cent per annum) is calculated on the minimum balance held in the account from the 10th of each month to the last day of that month. So, if a bank customer has Rs 5000 /-in his savings account one day and then Rs. 50/- another day, the minimum balance taken for calculation of interest in the period would be Rs 50.

From April 1, 2010, the interest paid on the savings account will be on the daily minimum balance. In other words, even the Rs 5000/-balance in the savings account will earn the customer interest, even if it is withdrawn later.

As per the new directive issued by RBI, only commercial banks will need to follow this new method of interest payment on savings accounts. Commercial banks include all banks other than co-operative ones.

In a volatile stock market, where prices change rapidly Invest in market through.

Systematic Investment Plan (SIP) is the most powerful way to benefit from the market volatility.

Now no entry load for all mutual fund schemes.

Securities Exchange Board of India (SEBI), has instituted a new regulation which will take effect from August 1, 2009, which has an immediate impact on what you pay whenever you buy a mutual fund scheme.

At present we pay 2.25% of the total amount taken from the amount you invested in most Equity based mutual fund schemes.

Relevant extract of the SEBI circular released on June 30, 2009 (SEBI/IMD/CIR No.
4/168230/09) is as follows:

'In order to empower the investors in deciding the commission paid to distributors in accordance with the level of service received, to bring about more transparency in payment of commissions and to incentivize long term investment, it has been decided that:

There shall be no entry load for all mutual fund schemes
The scheme application forms shall carry a suitable disclosure to the effect that the upfront commission to distributors will be paid by the investor directly to the distributor, based on his assessment of various factors including the service rendered by the distributor
Of the exit load or CDSC charged to the investor, a maximum of 1% of the redemption proceeds shall be maintained in a separate account which can be used by the AMC to pay commissions to the distributor and to take care of other marketing and selling expenses. Any balance shall be credited to the scheme immediately
The distributors should disclose all the commissions (in the form of trail commission or any other mode) payable to them for the different competing schemes of various mutual funds from amongst which the scheme is being recommended to the investor

This circular shall be applicable for :

Investments in mutual fund schemes (including additional purchases and switch-in to a scheme from other schemes) with effect from August 1, 2009
Redemptions from mutual fund schemes (including switch-out from other schemes) with effect from August 1, 2009.
New mutual fund schemes launched on and after August 1, 2009; and Systematic Investment Plans (SIPs) registered on or after August 1, 2009'

Credit card PIN a must for Online shopping

A Reserve Bank of India directive has made it mandatory to have an authentication passcode Verified By Visa or Mastercard Secure Code (VBV/MSC) to make all online transactions safer.

Now it will be compulsory to have a personal identification number (PIN)/password for all online credit and debit card transactions in the country.

ULIP products turns attractive

Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority (IRDA), imposing a cap on the charges that insurers levy on customers.ULIP and Mutual fund products have similar investment strategy but charges in ULIP are higher in compare to Mutual fund.
ULIPs are now likely to become more competitive than mutual fund products.

Currently, mutual funds are allowed to charge up to 2.5 per cent of assets under management under various heads as fees. With the cap on ULIP charges, insurers will soon offer products with a built-in mortality at just about 2.25 per cent, since most insurance products are long-term contracts.
According to the new regulation, the charges on yield will be capped at 300 basis points for a product with tenor of less than or 10 years duration, of which fund management charges shall not exceed 150 basis points. For other contracts that are above 10 years, the difference between gross and net yields shall not exceed 225 basis points, of which the fund management charges shall not exceed 125 points.

The new regulation will be effected from October 1, for all products approved by the regulator after this date and all the existing products that do not meet the requirements should be withdrawn or modified by December 31.

Misconception in Filing tax returns

This is true that having a PAN is a must for filing tax returns. Without PAN, the tax department will not accept your returns.

Many taxpayers seem to be under the impression that having a PAN makes it mandatory for them to file the tax return. This is not true.

Filing a tax return is obligatory, if and only if one earns an income above the basic exemption limits. For FY 08-09, these are Rs 1.50 lakh, Rs 1.85 lakh and Rs 2.25 lakh for non-senior men, non-senior ladies and senior citizens respectively. So, if your income is under the tax threshold applicable to you, irrespective of whether you have been allotted a PAN or not, you need not file a tax return.

Note that the term 'income' in the above paragraph refers to gross income i.e. your income before reducing any tax deductions. This was a change that was carried out by FA05. Earlier, if your income after considering deductions such as PPF, NSC, Mediclaim, etc. was above the basic exemption, then filing tax return was mandatory. Now, income before considering the deductions under Chapter VI-A, Sec. 10A, Sec. 10B and Sec. 10BA will have to be considered.

Let's take the case of Mr Pathak, a senior citizen. His income statement is as under:

ParticularsRs
Income from bank interest, pension etc 3,40,000
Less : PPF, NSC & Mediclaim 1,20,000
Net income after deductions 2,20,000

Earlier, Pathak would not have been liable to file his tax return as his net income did not exceed the basic exemption limit of Rs 2,25,000.

However, now, income before deduction is to be considered and that is Rs 3,40,000 in his case. This amount being more than Rs 2,25,000, Pathak will compulsorily need to file the tax return.

Note that in both the cases, the tax payable by Pathak remains nil. Putting it differently, though he is not liable to pay any tax to the government, Pathak will need to file a nil tax return. Read full article from Source

All About Unit Linked Insurance Plans

In Unit Linked Plans, the investments made are subject to risks associated with the capital markets. This investment risk in investment portfolio is borne by the policy holder. Thus, you should make your investment choice after considering your risk appetite and needs.

Another factor that you need to consider is your future need for funds. HDFC Standard Life offers you a variety of unit-linked insurance products to suit your goals – be it for your retirement planning, for your health, for your child’s education and marriage or for investment purposes.

In a Unit Linked Plan, the premiums you pay are invested in the funds chosen by you after deducting allocation charges and charges including those for managing funds, policy administration and for providing insurance cover are deducted from the funds by cancelling certain units. The value of each unit of a fund is determined by dividing the total value of the fund’s investments by the total number of units.

Which Investor Class Are They Most Suited For?

· Those who wish to closely track their investments: Unit linked plans allow policy takers to closely monitor their portfolios. They also offer the flexibility to switch your capital between funds with varying risk-return profiles.

· Individuals with a medium to long term investment horizon: Unit linked plans are ideal for individuals who are ready to stay invested for relatively long periods of time.

· Those with varying risk profiles: Across the seven funds offered, the equity component varies from zero to a maximum of 100 per cent. Thus there is a choice of funds available to all types of investors - from risk-averse investor to those investors who have strong risk appetite.

· Investors across all life stages: This plan category offers a variety of plans which can be opted for depending upon the life stage you are in and your needs and financial liabilities at that point in time.

Cont

Riders

A rider is a provision that can be added to a life insurance policy to provide extra coverage for benefits that would otherwise not be covered on the primary policy. A long-term care rider would pay for some or all of your extended care expenses. In effect, your policy would provide you with "living benefits" that you can employ while you are still alive.. These can be purchased at a marginally additional premium.

Types of Riders:

a) Waiver Of Premium
What is: Waiver of premium is a benefit under which payment of premiums is waived off when the insured person suffers total disability. In such a case, further payment of premiums is exempted but the policy continues.

Need: This optional benefit ensures that the policy continues to invest the regular premium as planned and that the objective for taking the insurance policy is not compromised.
b) Critical Illness Cover

What is: If the insured is diagnosed as having any critical illness covered by the insurance company, the sum assured is paid out to the insured person as a lump sum amount. However, the policy continues even as the critical illness cover ceases to exist.

Need: The need for critical illness cover arises because of exorbitant medical costs, which can be covered, at least partially, at a nominal expense through critical illness cover.
c) Accidental Death Benefit

What is: Under the accidental death benefit rider, an additional amount covered under this benefit is payable in the case of the accidental death of the insured person during the term of the rider.

Need: The need for this rider arises because the accidental death of the insured person could cause additional financial inconveniences to the family/dependents due to the event.
d) Accelerated Sum Assured

What is: When Accelerated Sum Assured benefit rider is chosen, the insured person is paid the sum assured on being diagnosed as suffering from any of the critical illness. After the settlement of claim the basic policy is terminated.

Need: The accelerated sum assured is useful when one wants critical illnesses to be covered but desires the same at a marginal cost as compared to Critical illness cover.

Conventional Plans

Pension Plans

Retirement is a natural progression and only if you are financially secure during these years can you hope to live a comfortable retired life. Pension plans are designed to accumulate your savings during your earning years and thereafter provide you with a regular income after retirement so that you don't have to depend on your children or society.

Further, the premium payment in the case of pension plans can be made as recurring payments for a fixed period of time (regular premium) or once as a lump sum (single premium). Either way, the amount and returns thereon are cumulated and paid out to the policy holder at the retirement date as a lump sum. Part of this lump sum is then used to purchase an annuity which provides post retirement income

Benefits:

These plans are flexible as they allow you to choose your investment period, the premium amount and the premium frequency.
Reversionary bonuses are usually declared by the insurance company annually and once declared are guaranteed.
There are tax benefits under various sections of the Income Tax Act, 1961. A deduction is available from the total income up to Rs 1 lakh under section 80 CCC and 80 C.

2. Money Back Plans

When you plan for your future, ideally you should set out with specific goals and these should have costs and deadlines attached to them. Once this is done, money back plans provide an excellent vehicle to take you to the fulfillment of these goals.

Money-back plans are insurance products which pay out pre-defined benefits at periodic times during the entire term of the policy. For instance, in a money-back plan with a 20 year term, 25 per cent of the sum assured could be paid out after every five years (i.e., at the end of the 5th, 10th and 15th year) and the remaining 25 per cent of the sum assured along with the bonus, if any, would be paid out at the end of the 20th year. However, in the case of the unfortunate death of the insured person, the total sum assured (100%) and bonuses will be paid.

Benefits:

Since a part of the sum assured is received periodically, this plan combines short term financial goals with long term savings and insurance.
Tax benefits under Section 80C are applicable on the premium paid.
The periodic lump sums as well as maturity amount is tax free.

3. Children's Plans

Your children are your pride and joy and you would like them to have the best that money can buy. And with a sound financial plan, you can make sure that the materializing of their dreams is not hindered for want of funds. Children's insurance policies and products are designed with this specific aim in mind.

These plans set out to secure you financially against the back drop of constraints such as inflation and the rising cost of education. They help you to fund various aspirations like an overseas education, extra curricular activities, sports training, supplementary vocational education, marriage celebrations, etc. by providing a lump sum amount at a specified future date.

An additional feature offered by children's plans is that they continue to offer financial protection even in the event of the loss of the premium paying parent. This ensures that the amount envisaged is actually delivered even in the event of unforeseen eventualities.

Benefits:

Children's insurance plans enable the parents to save money for child's future without any disturbance to the family budget. This is because the premiums can be chosen to suit the parent's convenience.
There are a number of options and customized products to choose from for the child's future.
Reversionary bonuses are usually declared by the insurance company annually and once declared are guaranteed.
Tax benefits under Section 80C are applicable on the premium paid.
Certain plan options also allow the plan to continue after demise of insured parent and the insurance company continues paying the premium.

4. Endowment Plans

Life is full of risks – both financial and non financial. While it is difficult to eliminate the non- financial risks, insurance helps you to minimize the financial ones. Endowment plans are one such product. They ensure that you receive an assured amount at the end of the policy term plus bonuses, if any. If, due to unfortunate circumstances, the insured person expires during the term of the policy, the sum assured and bonuses go to the nominee. Endowment plans can be taken in the name of minors too.

Benefits:

This plan helps one plan for the future of their loved ones and rest assured that finances will not be an obstacle, even in case of the insured persons demise.
Reversionary bonuses are usually declared by the insurance company annually and once declared are guaranteed.
Tax benefits under Section 80C are applicable on the premium paid.

5. Term Plans

As the breadwinner of the family, even the best financial plan that you create can go out of gear if you are not around to meet the financial commitments it entails. With term plans, you can be sure that in the event of your unfortunate demise your family will be compensated for the financial loss to the extent that you see fit.

Term Assurance Plans are those plans where the sum assured is paid out only if the insured person dies. There is no maturity benefit under these plans. Due to this feature, the premium amount is relatively low.

The premium can be paid regularly or even in a lump sum, according to the design of the plan. Such policies can be taken either on a single basis or on joint basis.

Benefits:

These plans are ideal for individuals who have dependents to be taken care of. In the unfortunate event of the insured person's death, the dependents are left financially secure.
The premium for such plans is very low, especially if the insured in young.
The plan can be topped up with add additional features (known as riders), such as accident death cover or critical illness cover.
There are tax benefits for the insured person.

6. Whole Life Plans

Insurance has become a necessity, particularly in India where most families are dependent on a single earning individual. Further, since there is no social security available in India, the financial interests of the family have to be protected through other sources. Whole life insurance policies are designed to provide lump sum payments to a family in the event of the death of the insured person.

Unlike term insurance, a whole life insurance policy covers you for your entire life and not just for a specific period of time.

Benefits:

The policy stays in force as long as the insured individual continues to live and benefits remain constant during the entire coverage period of the policy.
There is no need to undergo future medical examination once the policy is in force.
There is also an element of tax-saving in these policies.

HDFC Standard Life Pension Plan

Insurance should be the base of your financial pyramid

Make Insurance base of your financial pyramid and save tax is an added bonus.

Life insurance offers tax benefits under two heads: deductions and exemptions.

Deductions are based on the amount invested and are cut from the gross salary.

Exemptions are availed of on the policy benefits that you get on maturity.

Section 80C Income Tax Act:- You can invest up to Rs 1 lakh across certain products.

Life insurers offer a wide choice between life covers and pension plans that help you optimise your tax liability within this limit. The premiums paid by you for a policy can be deducted from your income. This reduces your tax liability. Also, on surviving the policy tenure, the amount that you earn is exempt from tax.

There is more to gain, especially if you have added a health rider to your life insurance, or have taken a health insurance plan. Under Section 80D, the premiums paid up to Rs 15,000 a year are exempt from tax, reducing your tax liability further. In case you have elderly dependants, an additional Rs 20,000 is exempt if the health policy covers them as well.

The pension plans offered by insurers have long tenures, which instills discipline and thrift among investors. As you make regular contributions over a 15-20-year period, you benefit from the power of compounding and this adds significantly to your retirement corpus. Each year of contribution offers you a tax break, the big advantage coming at the time of vesting, when you decide to seek a monthly annuity from the corpus. While 40% of the corpus is exempt from tax on vesting, the remaining is structured into an annuity, which is treated as your income and taxed accordingly.
No wonder, the popularity of life insurance among Indian households is second only to bank deposits.

Summary of Deductions & Exemptions (Source)
Here are some of the ways you can save on tax:
1. Deduction up to Rs 1 lakh is allowed under Section 80C on premiums.
2. Deduction is allowed only for premiums that are up to 20% of the capital sum assured.
3. If the insurance contract is terminated within two years or if the premium is not paid for two years, the tax deduction allowed earlier is taxable as income.
4. For a health insurance policy, deduction up to Rs 15,000 (in case of senior citizens, it is Rs 20,000) is allowed under Section 80D.
5. Under Section 10(10D), any sum received under a life insurance policy, including bonus, is exempt from tax.

Death or maturity Claim of Insurance

The most important part in insurance is Death or maturity claim. So many Financial consultants and Customer give it less important. So many time Financial consultants also suggest Customer not to disclose their illness which is a big mistake and always create dispute at the time of Death claim.

Documents Required in Death Claim are:

•Policy Document•Assignment Deed

•Age Proof(if not submitted)

•Certificate of death

•Legal evidence of title

•Discharge Voucher

Documents Required in Maturity Claim are:

•Policy Document•Assignment Deed

•Age Proof(if not submitted)

•Identity proof

•Discharge Form

If the life assured had an unnatural death, such as accident, suicide or unknown causes, police inquest report, panchanama, chemical examiner’s report, post mortem report, coroner’s report, etc. would be required.
=======================
The Supreme Court (SC) has ruled that unless there is a specific contract, an insurance company is not under obligation to pay compensation to a person or an employee who dies in a road accident while driving the vehicle of his employer.
The court said that only when a claim is made under Section 163, a person is not required to establish the charge of negligence. Accordingly, the court reversed the decision of the High Court and ruled that the insurance company was not under an obligation to pay the compensation. Courtesy: Economic Times

Tax Benefits in Insurance plans

What is Life Insurance?
Life insurance ensures that your family will receive financial support in your absence. Put simply, life insurance provides your family with a sum of money should something happen to you. It protects your family from financial crises.
In addition to serving as a protective cover, life insurance acts as a flexible money-saving scheme, which empowers you to accumulate wealth-to buy a new car, get your children married and even retire comfortably.
Key Benefits of Life Insurance
Life insurance, especially tailored to meet your financial need. Need for Life Insurance: Today, there is no shortage of investment options for a person to choose from. Modern day investments include gold, property, fixed income instruments, mutual funds and of course, life insurance. Given the plethora of choices, it becomes imperative to make the right choice when investing your hard-earned money. Life insurance is a unique investment that helps you to meet your dual needs - saving for life's important goals, and protecting your assets.

The core benefit of life insurance is that the financial interests of one’s family remain protected from circumstances such as loss of income due to critical illness or death of the policyholder. Simultaneously, insurance products also have a strong inbuilt wealth creation proposition. The customer therefore benefits on two counts and life insurance occupies a unique space in the landscape of investment options available to a customer.

Goal based savings: Each of us has some goals in life for which we need to save. For a young, newly married couple, it could be buying a house. Once, they decide to start a family, the goal changes to planning for the education or marriage of their children. As one grows older, planning for one's retirement will begin to take precedence.

Clearly, as your life stage and therefore your financial goals change, the instrument in which you invest should offer corresponding benefits pertinent to the new life stage.

Life insurance is the only investment option that offers specific products tailormade for different life stages. It thus ensures that the benefits offered to the customer reflect the needs of the customer at that particular life stage, and hence ensures that the financial goals of that life stage are met.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Importance of Nomination

A nominee is the person who receives the benefits when the policyholder, or the person who buys life insurance, dies during the term of the policy. The nominee is to be appointed at the time of buying the policy and the beneficiary can be changed at any time during the term of the policy.

Life insurance policies are long-term contracts and the benefits are more complicated as they depend on the occurrence of pre-defined insured events. Nomination is the tool by which the policyholder can effectively manage the benefits accruing under a life insurance policy. It is the right given to the policyholder to appoint a person or persons to receive the benefits if it becomes a death claim.

For women, the selection of a nominee is especially difficult and is compounded over the different stages in their lives. For instance, before marriage, a woman is most likely to appoint one of her parents as a nominee. After marriage, she may change the beneficiary to her husband and later to her children.

It is not necessary for the nominee to be a relative. Also, the fact that he may or may not have any insurable interest means non-relatives can be appointed as nominees as they are not likely to suffer any financial loss if the policyholder dies. The role of the nominee comes into play only after the policyholder’s demise, thereby reducing his influence over the latter.

A policyholder can appoint multiple nominees and can also specify their shares in the policy proceeds. The details of the nominee typically include his name, age, address and his relationship with the policyholder. To change the nomination, all that a policyholder needs to do is fill up a standard form, cancel the name of the existing person(s) and replace it with the new one(s).

For women, this is an empowering tool as it helps ensure that the proceeds reach the rightful person after their demise and serves the purpose for which the policy was bought.

Nomination vs Assignment

ULIP investors are still going strong.

Have you invested in the funds through unit-linked plans? If yes, then it's about time to make use of the 'switching' feature, which the plan offers.
Now, if you have been under the impression that ULIPS have been badly hit because of the negative performance of the stock market then you are probably wrong. You might be surprised to know that such has not been the case with market-linked plans. ULIP investors are still going strong.

Advantage of Ulips is the switch feature. This enables the policyholders to adjust their asset allocation between debt and Equity depending on their life stage, risk appetite and the Market conditions.
These swaps can be made any number of times at zero or nominal cost. For instance, if you have just started your career and have 30-40 working years till you retire, a higher exposure to Stocks is good.
But as you approach retirement, your risk appetite may decrease and so should your Equity exposure.
To help the customers, especially housewives who are not financially clued in, understand the complexities of Ulips, Irda, the life insurance regulatory body, has laid out strict guidelines

Allocation of funds to equity and debts

Two methods:

1) Weighted average PE Ratio of Nifty or Sensex,

At higher PE Ratio levels, Reduce your exposure to equity and at lower PE Ratio levels increase your exposure to equity.

We have more exposure to equity when the market is cheap.

2) Term of the policy.

The longer the term to maturity in years, the higher the exposure to equity.

PE is price to earnings ratio

EPS is earnings per share

PE of a company = Market price / Earnings per share

Find PE Ratio of Nifty or Sensex at bseindia.com or nseindia.com

Donot leave it to the insurance agent to identify the product that best suits your needs. I have come across many insurance agents who are more interested in thier commission than your interests. So do your home work before buying a policy.
