PREMIUM FOR CORONA KAVACH POLICIES
COMPARE THE PREMIUMS BEFORE BUYING CORONA KAVACH
12.07.2020 : 30 insurance companies have now got permission to launch Corona Kavach Policies . We understand from media reports that premiums for the same policies quoted by different insurance companies are widely different from each other . Some are quoting premium in hundreds while some others are quoting in thousands for the short term policy . As insurance companies also are not having previous experience in handling such policies , initial divergence in premiums quoted are expected . Further insurance companies are yet to come out with transparent premium chart for different amounts and for different aged people . As they publish the prices , we will bring further clarity on the issue .
Hence in case you want to purchase Corona Kavach policy , get quote from different insurance companies , compare and settle for the best in prices . Terms & conditions quoted by all insurance companies are to be same for Corona Kavach .

Most of the insurance companies are yet to publish their premiums on their websites . Some require you to furnish your personal information like name , e-mail address and mobile numbers to get a quote from them . But press reports suggest variations in age slabs as well as the premium quoted by insurance companies . Hence one has to get quotes for his particular age by the insurance companies to compare the premium applicable to him / her . By reading of such reports , we found that the quotes of Universal Sompo General Insurance company ( promoted by Indian Bank , Indian Overseas Bank & Karnataka Bank among others ) are agressive and are quite competitive and favors well compared with many other insurance companies in many age slabs . However one may get quotes individually from different insurance companies before buying a policy .
We shall be happy to receive feedback on this issue from our readers .

In the absence of health insurance , 75 % of Indians use their hard earned savings while 18% have to borrow . In order to escape from financial gloom in the events of medical emergencies , one has to definitely require some form of Health insurance .
