Find Your Insurance:
The Conversation You're Avoiding
अगर कल तुम नहीं रहे, तो क्या होगा?
(If tomorrow you're not here, what happens?)
The Question You're Too Scared to Ask
If you died tomorrow, how long would your family survive? One month? Six months? This isn't morbid—it's responsible. And you're about to face it.
Let's Talk About Death (Because Nobody Else Will)
You're not immortal. Neither am I. We all pretend we are, until it's too late.
Every day in India, thousands of families are financially destroyed—not because someone died, but because they died uninsured. The father who thought "I'll buy insurance next year." The mother who said "We can't afford it right now." The young professional who believed "I'm healthy, I don't need it."
They were all wrong. Dead wrong.
"बिना बीमा, परिवार बेसहारा।"
"Without insurance, family is helpless." - This isn't insurance company propaganda. It's mathematics. Cold, hard, devastating mathematics.
The Brutal Math of Your Death
Let's do the calculation you've been avoiding. If you died tomorrow:
Your Family's Financial Needs (Without You):
- Immediate Expenses: Funeral costs (₹50,000-1,00,000)
- Outstanding Debts: Home loan + Car loan + Credit cards
- Children's Education: ₹10-50 lakhs (depending on goals)
- Monthly Living Expenses: Multiply by 12 months × 10-20 years
- Parents' Healthcare: ₹5-10 lakhs per medical emergency
- Spouse's Future: If they don't work, lifetime support needed
Add it up. Terrifying, isn't it?
Now ask yourself: If you died right now, do your family have this money? If your answer is anything but a confident "YES," keep reading.
The Two Shields Every Indian Family Needs
Shield #1: Term Life Insurance
What It Does:
If you die, your family gets ₹50 lakhs to ₹2 crores (you choose). Tax-free. Immediately.
What It Costs:
For a 30-year-old non-smoker: ₹500-800/month for ₹1 crore cover. Less than your Netflix subscription.
The Rule:
Cover = Annual Income × 10-15 years
If you earn ₹5 lakhs/year, get ₹50-75 lakhs cover minimum.
Shield #2: Health Insurance
What It Does:
Pays for hospitalization, surgery, treatment. So you don't sell your house to save your life.
What It Costs:
For a family of 4: ₹15,000-25,000/year for ₹10 lakh cover. ₹1,250-2,000/month.
The Rule:
Minimum ₹5 lakhs per person, ₹10 lakhs+ for family
One hospitalization can cost ₹3-10 lakhs. You do the math.
STOP! Don't Buy These Insurance Scams:
- LIC Endowment Plans - Returns worse than FD, fees eat your money
- ULIPs - Neither good insurance nor good investment
- Money-Back Policies - You're getting your own money back, minus fees
- Child Plans - Overpriced, under-delivering garbage
Golden Rule: Insurance is for protection, not investment. Keep them separate!
The Hard Truths Insurance Agents Won't Tell You
Agents make ₹500 on your ₹10,000 term plan. They make ₹50,000 on your ₹1,00,000 ULIP. Guess which one they push?
Solution: Buy term insurance online directly. Skip the agent. Same policy, no pressure.
Agent says ₹10 lakhs is enough? They're lying. In 2024, ₹10 lakhs barely covers 2 years of expenses for a middle-class family.
Real need: ₹50 lakhs minimum, ₹1 crore+ if you have kids and home loan.
At 25: ₹500/month for ₹1 crore
At 35: ₹1,200/month for same coverage
At 45: ₹3,500/month for same coverage
Every year you wait, you pay thousands more. Over 30 years? Lakhs of rupees wasted.

Real Stories (Because Numbers Don't Move Hearts)
"I kept postponing insurance. 'I'm young, I'm healthy.' Then came the chest pain. Heart attack at 38. Thank God I bought term insurance 6 months before. My wife got ₹1 crore. My kids' education is secure."
Lesson: Young doesn't mean immortal. Buy NOW.
"Cancer diagnosis. Treatment cost ₹12 lakhs. We had health insurance of ₹5 lakhs. We thought that was enough. Had to sell our car, borrow from relatives, drain all savings. Still in debt."
Lesson: ₹5 lakhs isn't enough anymore. Get ₹10 lakhs minimum.

Common Excuses (And Why They're BS)
| Your Excuse | The Reality |
|---|---|
| "I can't afford it" | You spend more on cigarettes/chai/Netflix. Priorities, my friend. |
| "I'll buy it next year" | You might not BE here next year. Or you might be sick. Buy NOW while you can. |
| "My company provides insurance" | What happens when you switch jobs? Retire? Get fired? Don't depend on employers. |
| "Insurance companies don't pay claims" | Claim settlement ratio averages 95%+. They DO pay if you're honest in application. |
| "I'm young and healthy" | So were the 5 lakh Indians who died in road accidents last year. Age ≠ Immunity |
| "I need to research more" | Research paralysis. You don't need to be an expert. Just need to be PROTECTED. |
Pro Tips from Someone Who Actually Cares About You
- Buy term insurance before health insurance (Death is costlier than illness for your family)
- Get separate policies for parents (Don't club with your family—they need higher cover)
- Disclose everything in medical history (Hiding info = Claim rejection = Your family suffers)
- Increase cover every 5 years (Inflation is real, ₹50 lakhs today ≠ ₹50 lakhs in 2030)
- Add critical illness rider if you can afford ₹200 extra/month (Worth it)
