Our View

A decent policy coverage for a family. Critical Illness rider is must if you have a family history of any of the stated illnesses. It does not allow lifetime policy renewal which is a major drawback. Old age is an age when the risk of ill health is maximum and health insurance becomes crucial. Buying a new policy at that age becomes a Herculean task. You should prefer policies that offer lifelong renewal facility.
