How can I save taxes with Health Insurance?

Bajaj Allianz General Insurance Health Insurance policy helps you save tax up to INR 1 lakh under Section 80D against the premiums you pay. Here’s how you can save tax:

On the premiums you pay for yourself, your spouse, children and parents, you can avail INR 25,000 per annum as a deduction against your taxes (provided you are not over 60 years). If you pay a premium for your parents who are senior citizens (age 60 or above), the maximum health insurance benefit for tax purposes is capped at INR 50,000. As a taxpayer, you may, therefore, maximize tax benefit under Section 80D up to a total of INR 75,000, if you are below 60 years of age and your parents are senior citizens. If you are above the age of 60 years and are paying a medical insurance premium for your parents, the maximum tax benefit under Section 80D is, then, INR 1 lakh.

So, Health Insurance plans are your cover against unexpected health-related costs that may threaten to deplete your savings.

Exit age means that you will not be covered under your health insurance policy after crossing a certain age limit. The entry age and exit age are different for different health insurance plans.

What is a ‘Free look Period’?

Health insurance companies in India grant you a free look period of 15 days, during which you can analyze the health insurance policy that you have purchased.

Pre-existing diseases are those you may already know the existence of in your life before you buy a medical insurance policy. Hence, you must declare any pre-existing disease/condition at the time of buying medical insurance plans.

Hence, by taking a policy at a young age you can only hope that by the time, and if you are diagnosed with a disease that falls under the pre-existing category, your waiting period will be complete. Also, you can ensure that you are eligible to avail full benefits of your medical insurance policy.
