    Last Updated On 16-06-2021

    The rising pollution levels, stress, reduced physical activities, adulteration in food, excessive use of chemicals in skin and hair care products, etc., can all contribute to poor health. It is startling to know that cancer, a disease that was rare and unheard of 20 years ago, is now attacking young children and older people with the same impact. Although the healthcare system has improved a lot, and you can win over these diseases with the right treatment and medication, the cost of medical care has become astronomical in the present. It is also expected to rise in the near future.

    2. They cover a wide range of illnesses: A critical illness cover offer protection from a wide range of illnesses, right from different types of cancers to heart ailments. Moreover, as stated above, the plan can be used to cover all expenses borne out of a serious illness and not just hospitalization.

    3. They are cost-effective: Buying a separate critical illness plan along with a life insurance policy may turn out to be more expensive. However, a critical illness rider can be added to a life insurance plan at a nominal additional cost. Such plans provide a life cover and health insurance coverage under a single policy. This makes it easier to manage your premiums and eliminates any chances of missing premium payments dates or getting confused with multiple plans.

    4. They come with a smaller waiting period: The waiting period in a health insurance plan can be high. However, life insurance with critical illness cover offers a shorter waiting period, usually lasting up to 90 days. This makes these plans much more useful and flexible.

Not only do serious ailments impact your health and mental state of mind, but they can also interfere with your ability to work and earn money. In such circumstances, you can use the payouts from life and critical illness cover as a substitute for your income. This lets you be on your own two feet and live with dignity. It also reduces your dependence on debt and keeps you afloat.

    6. They offer tax benefits: Just like health insurance, you can also avail of tax benefits on a critical illness plan. Critical illness riders offer tax benefits under Section 80D of the Income Tax Act, 1961 and let you lower your tax output.
