Every person not only thinks about the future of his family but also makes every possible effort to keep it safe. Insurance is a part of this effort! The head of the household gets his entire family insured. This planning is such that it protects the entire family from financial difficulties. But many times, even without wanting to, we make such small mistakes, due to which we have to suffer huge consequences.
So today let us know about 6 such mistakes which we should not make while buying insurance. These small mistakes sometimes cause big losses.
take less coverage
According to the rules, while buying insurance, we should take coverage 15-20 times more than our annual income. So that after our departure, the life of the family continues as smoothly as before. But we do not do this in order to pay less premium and the family has to suffer the consequences later on.
What is the right age?
There is no right age to get insurance, youth often think that what is their age to get insurance. But it is not so, untoward incidents never happen without warning. In such a situation, taking care of our family, we should get insurance done as soon as possible. Whether you are 20 years old or 25 years old, the sooner you get insurance, the more benefit you will get.
Ignoring CSR
While choosing the premium, one should always pay great attention to which company one is choosing. Many times we get trapped in the pursuit of cheapness and ignore CSR i.e. Claim Settlement Ratio. This is a big mistake and negligence, which can prove costly. Before buying insurance, you should always visit the IRDAI website and check what is the claim settlement ratio of the company, after that choose only that company which has settled more than 95% of the claims.
Wrong information about nominee
You yourself choose who you want to make your insurance nominee. In such a situation, it is your job to provide correct information about that person. Whenever you take insurance, give correct nominee information. If you are married, update the nominee details in time. Ignoring this may land the family in legal trouble.
Do not take basic plan
If you have not taken term insurance yet, then avoid making this mistake. Don’t always go for the basic plan to save funds. Some small riders can make your plan very strong. This will only benefit you, your future will be secure by taking the rider/add-on plan. With this, if you fall ill or become disabled in future, the premium will be waived. Apart from this, if there is any serious illness or death occurs in an accident, the family will also get extra money. This will keep the family safe.
hiding information
They say that one should not hide anything from doctors and lawyers. Something similar happens with term insurance also. Actually, while taking a term plan, many times people hide about any of their diseases or any previous policy, but this cunningness can prove to be costly for you. Because by doing this, if the insurance company comes to know about it later, then it will reject your claim.
