Normally it is considered that a person is having an active working life up to the age of 60 years, whether he/she is employed or not. Those who are employed in Government, Public or Private sectors retire on attaining the age of 60 years. To meet the post-retirement expenses, some sort of regular income is required. To overcome this, the Pension scheme was introduced for Government and Public sector employees.

The pension scheme was regulated through the Pension Act. It was also considered as a social security measure. Whereas this facility is not available for Private Sector employees and unorganized sector workers. The unorganized sector workers are also deprived of Pension benefits. To have a uniform Pension scheme for all citizens under both Organised and Un-organised sector Government introduced the National Pension Scheme (NPS).

Bonds are the instruments to raise the funds by the Government and Corporate entities from the public. It is considered as a loan from the subscribers. It carries a fixed rate of interest and called Fixed income instruments. It carries a maturity period of 7-10 years. But infrastructure bonds are issued for longer periods up to 30 years. Bonds are considered less risky than Equities or Shares as a return in the form of interest is assured. Whereas in the case of Equities return is in the form of dividends. Companies declare dividends out of the profits earned.

WHO CAN ISSUE THE BONDS?

Bonds are issued by the following entities:

Corporate

Corporate issues the following type of bonds:

Convertible Debentures : These type of bonds are converted into shares as per the pre-decided terms and conditions of the debentures. It could be fully convertible or partly convertible debentures. In the case of fully convertible bonds, no amount is payable on maturity. In the case of Partially convertible bonds, the amount about the nonconvertible part is repaid on maturity. Corporate bonds carry a certain amount of risk as the repayment of bonds depends upon the profit earned by the company. Therefore companies offer more interest on their bonds.

Non-convertible Debenture : Nonconvertible debentures remain as a debt instrument and carries the fixed rate of interest. Redemption amount is repaid on maturity.

Government

The government also issues the bonds to fund their various developmental activities mostly for infrastructure projects. Government bonds are also known as G-Sec or Government Securities.

A health insurance plan that covers critical illness means you can insure yourself against the risk of serious illness in much the same way as you insure your car and your house.

Why Mediclaim policy needed?

Every human suffers from some illness or injury in lifetime.
Emergencies or illness can come anytime without giving any warning.
There are no good facilities in government hospitals whereas private hospitals are too expensive.
Doctor’s fees, diagnostic charges as well as the medicines value are too expensive.
No mediclaim means you have to incur health expense from the savings you did for your other important goals and dreams.

When should we take mediclaim policy? Preferably at young age but better late than never, yes this is the right reply for this question because the premium tends to increases with the age and insurance companies gives “no claim bonus” for every year in which no claim is taken against insurance policy. Also this policy also comes with tax benefit of 80D of income tax Act.
