Nowadays, cost of medical treatment is rising rapidly. So it is very important to avail a health insurance plan. If you do not have health insurance, you will have to pay money out of your savings for costly hospitalization.

The main purpose of availing a health insurance plan, is to cover all your medical expenses, without affecting your savings. Health insurance plans cover hospitalization expenses, pre-hospitalization and post-hospitalization charges. Hospitalization expenses are the expenses which are incurred during the period of hospitalization.

 3. Auto Insurance Plans

These days, every household has a car or a bike. So, it is important to avail motor insurance. In India, it is compulsory to avail third-party insurance or third-party liability cover when you buy a new vehicle.

Third-party insurance covers only the injuries to a third person (unrelated party) or damage to a third person's vehicle or property. So, it is better to go for a comprehensive auto insurance plan. Comprehensive auto insurance plans cover damage to your vehicle and injuries suffered by you. Comprehensive auto insurance policies, pay for your medical treatment in case of an accident.
