What is Home Insurance? Do We Actually Need it?

Image
What is Home Insurance? What great pleasure lies in the often-repeated statement, ‘I am home’. A home is a place of rest, sanctuary and the word itself signals peace and finality. A house also entails a tremendous expenditure of money, emotions and time- a onetime investment in many of our lives. Thus, securing this symbol of independence and achievement, against natural calamities and man-made conditions, is an extremely important concern. Ergo, the need for a good, comprehensive and timely Home Insurance Policy.  In India, Home or Property Insurance is a popular banking product. Being secure is better than being sorry- the essential tenet behind the concept of insurance applies particularly to an emotional and costly insurance such as your family home. Aside from the structure itself, a good home insurance policy provides protection to the items/ implements/ appliances and prized possessions included in the home. A trusty home insurance policy is not just the protect...

Image
**Source: MINT Vidya, an old client, called me at 9 pm once. I found it a bit strange because I do not receive calls from clients so late, but I took the call. She told me her husband, Venkat, who is a heart patient, had to undergo bypass surgery immediately. He was denied health insurance by many companies because of his ailment. In the couple's last review two weeks before, they were asked to keep six to eight months' expenses in a Flexi bank fixed deposit (FD) for any emergency. Unfortunately, that didn't happen. Vidya had stopped working, and to meet daily expenses, they had to stop their systematic investment plans (SIPs) too.
