What is a premium?

A premium is the price of your insurance.


Key Points

  • You pay the premium monthly, quarterly, yearly, or as decided in the policy.
  • As long as you pay premiums, your insurance coverage (protection) continues.
  • The insurance company uses this money to cover claims and provide financial protection.

Example

If you buy health insurance:

  • You pay ₹10,000 yearly as the premium.
  • In return, the insurance company will pay your hospital bills when needed.

Why premiums vary

Premiums depend on:

  • Age
  • Health condition
  • Type of insurance
  • Coverage amount
  • Risk level
