Q&A

🔹 Insurance Q&A

A: Insurance is a contract where an insurer provides financial protection or reimbursement against losses to the insured in exchange for a premium.
A: Insurance helps protect you and your family from unexpected financial losses due to accidents, illness, death, or property damage.
A: The main types include Life Insurance, Health Insurance, General Insurance (like motor, home, travel), and Investment-Linked Insurance (like ULIPs).
A: A premium is the amount you pay regularly (monthly, quarterly, or yearly) to keep your insurance policy active.
A: Term insurance provides coverage for a specific period and pays out only if the insured dies during that term. Whole life insurance covers you for your entire life and often has a savings component.
A: A claim is a request made to the insurance company for payment or coverage when the insured event (like illness or accident) occurs.
A: Health insurance covers medical expenses like hospital stays, surgeries, and treatments. Many plans offer cashless treatment in network hospitals.
A: It is the time period after buying the policy during which you cannot claim for certain illnesses or conditions.
A: Cashless insurance allows you to get treatment at network hospitals without paying upfront; the insurer settles the bill directly with the hospital.
A: Yes, you can have multiple policies to cover different needs, but be mindful of over-insurance and manage your premiums wisely.

🔹 Loan Q&A

A: A loan is a sum of money borrowed from a lender that must be repaid with interest over a specified period.
A: Personal loans, home loans, business loans, education loans, vehicle loans, and loan against property are common types.
A: Interest can be calculated as fixed or floating and may be based on reducing balance or flat rate, depending on the loan type.
A: Secured loans require collateral (like property or vehicle), while unsecured loans do not but usually have higher interest rates.
A: Proof of identity, address, income proof, bank statements, and property documents (for secured loans) are usually needed.
A: Approval time varies—personal loans can take a few hours to days, while home and business loans may take longer due to verification.
A: EMI (Equated Monthly Installment) is the fixed monthly payment you make towards repaying your loan principal and interest.
A: Yes, most loans allow prepayment or foreclosure but check for any prepayment penalties with your lender.
A: Missing payments can lead to penalties, increased interest, and negatively affect your credit score.
A: Maintain a good credit score, have a stable income, provide accurate documents, and avoid multiple loan applications simultaneously.

🔹 Mutual Fund Q&A

A: A mutual fund pools money from many investors to invest in a diversified portfolio of stocks, bonds, or other securities, managed by professional fund managers.
A: Diversification, professional management, liquidity, affordability, and the potential for higher returns compared to traditional savings.
A: Equity funds, Debt funds, Hybrid funds, Index funds, Sector funds, and Solution-Oriented Funds.
A: SIP allows you to invest a fixed amount regularly (monthly/quarterly) in a mutual fund, helping in disciplined investing and rupee cost averaging.
A: Returns depend on the performance of the underlying assets and are reflected in the Net Asset Value (NAV) of the fund.
A: Mutual funds are subject to market risks; returns are not guaranteed. Equity funds can be volatile, while debt funds are relatively safer.
A: Most mutual funds allow you to redeem your units anytime, but some funds may have a lock-in period.
A: Open-ended funds allow continuous buying and selling of units, while closed-ended funds have a fixed maturity period.
A: Fees may include expense ratio, exit load, and sometimes entry load (though usually not charged anymore).
A: Consider your risk tolerance, investment horizon, financial goals, fund performance, and fund manager's track record.

🔹 Corporate Fixed Deposit Q&A

A: It is a fixed deposit scheme offered by companies (non-banking financial companies or corporations) where you invest a lump sum for a fixed tenure at a fixed interest rate.
A: Corporate FDs usually offer higher interest rates than bank FDs but come with a higher risk since they are not backed by government insurance (like the Deposit Insurance and Credit Guarantee Corporation for bank FDs).
A: The tenure ranges from 6 months to 5 years, depending on the company and the scheme.
A: Interest rates are generally higher than bank FDs, typically ranging from 7% to 12% annually, depending on market conditions and the company’s credibility.
A: Yes, interest income from corporate FDs is taxable as per your income tax slab. Tax is deducted at source (TDS) if interest exceeds the prescribed limit.
A: Some companies allow premature withdrawal with a penalty, but it depends on the company’s terms and conditions.
A: Corporate FDs carry a higher risk than bank FDs. It’s important to invest in financially strong, well-rated companies and check credit ratings before investing.
A: Credit rating agencies assign ratings (like AAA, AA, A) to companies based on their financial health. Higher ratings indicate lower risk.
A: Yes, NRIs can invest in corporate FDs subject to FEMA regulations and company policies.
A: You can apply through company branches, brokers, or authorized agents with required documents like identity proof and PAN card.
