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.

Why Is Insurance Important?

  • Financial Protection – Avoid huge losses due to accidents or illnesses

  • Peace of Mind – Reduce stress during emergencies

  • Legal Compliance – Motor and health insurance are often legally required

  • Tax Benefits – Life and health insurance premiums qualify for tax deductions under Section 80C and 80D
