GST Cut on Life & Health Insurance: Policyholders Advised Not to Delay Renewals
The Finance Ministry has recently announced a GST reduction on life and health insurance policies, offering policyholders significant savings. This move aims to ease the financial burden and encourage timely policy renewals.
What Has Changed?
Under the new guidelines, the Goods and Services Tax (GST) on individual life insurance and health insurance policies has been reduced. This applies to both new policies and renewals, making insurance more affordable for millions of Indians.
Why Renewing on Time Matters
Policyholders are advised not to delay renewals, as doing so could result in missed benefits and additional charges. Early renewal ensures:
Continuous coverage without any gaps
Access to lower premiums due to GST reduction
Tax benefits under Section 80C and 80D
Impact on Policyholders
The GST reduction directly translates into cost savings on premiums. For example, a policyholder paying ₹10,000 annually might save hundreds of rupees each year, depending on the type of policy and its sum insured.
