What Is Insurance?
Insurance is a contract (policy) where an individual or entity receives financial protection or reimbursement against losses from an insurance company. In return, the policyholder pays a premium — either monthly, quarterly, or annually. If something covered by the policy happens, the insurer pays out a claim to reduce the financial burden.
Types of Insurance Everyone Should Know
1. Life Insurance
Protects your family’s future in case of your untimely death. Common types include:
Term Life Insurance – Low premium, high coverage
Whole Life Insurance – Lifetime coverage with savings
ULIP – Insurance with investment benefits
2. Health Insurance
Covers medical bills, hospitalization, and surgery costs. Popular plans include:
Individual and Family Floater Health Plans
Critical Illness Coverage
Ayushman Bharat Yojana (for eligible citizens)
3. Motor Insurance
Mandatory by law in India. It includes:
Third-Party Insurance – Covers liability to others
Comprehensive Insurance – Covers your own vehicle + third party
4. Property/Fire Insurance
Protects homes, shops, factories, and other structures against fire, flood, theft, etc.
5. Travel Insurance
Covers medical emergencies, cancellations, and lost luggage during domestic or international travel.
6. Business Insurance
Covers risks like fire, theft, liability, employee injury, and even cyberattacks for MSMEs and startups.
