NRI DILEMMA - SHOULD YOU BUY LIFE INSURANCE IN INDIA OR ABROAD ?

[@kamalkishorsingh5786]

I’m a happy buyer of a whole life insurance policy denominated in US dollars. One can’t find such flexible policy loaded with features like “income protection” in India. Thank you Dr Bhat !

[@NRIMoneyClinic]

You are welcome Kamal . Keep sharing these videos

[@mohammedrameez5325]

Plz share the details of your plan @ [e-mail]

[@sahibar]

one additional point to consider is that if you buy term insurance in India as an NRI, you get tax exception under 80C.

[@Ashish-cv6li]

Just a thought , in 10 years inflation in India jumped 2X but in USA very less. So I think exchange rate hardly matters here.

[@rohansivon]

I'm so happy to have come accross your Channel last week. Have been watching almost all the videos. This is one of the high level information you are providing on every aspect of financial journey., Not only to NRI's, I'm sure it'll help the general public. Thank you so much for your time and effort Sir.

India life insurance Policy have money back scheme attached while some of the international agencies do not have the money back scheme which means if you policy term is over the insurance lapses and there is no return on premium or bonus.

Hi sir how r u in UAE Dubai buying term insurance policy there is any education criteria like in India if u buy there is grautute people only eligible .how about the Dubai UAE .if any specific insurance policy Ur recommend pls reply thanks .

[@ankurbbhatt]

Dear Mr. Bhat, Thank you for your videos. The problem NRIs face with keeping money in NRE accounts is repatriation of money from the NRE account to their foreign currency account. I am in Australia and struggle to get the money/ interest accumulated in the NRE account back to my Australian bank account at a good exchange rate. Banks are the worst in shaving large sum of the the profit in to-fro movements and there are not many organizations which offer this service. Please advise/ make a video on better repatriation options other than banks if you know of. Thanks again, subscribed!

[@NRIMoneyClinic]

Dear Ankur Bhat, Yes a problem exist in this sphere . Not many money exchanges are there in India . You Can try Thomas Cook branch to remit back which may give you better rate. Don't transfer small amounts of money as fixed charges from banks will eat up your amounts. You can also consider FCNR deposits in Australian dollars if that helps. You may also consider opening a singapore account with ICICI bank or any other private Indian banks . If you have a specific query send it on my whatsapp [phone]. Please subscribe and keep sharing videos.

For baby stool test in India -300 rs, in USA the same test cost - 90000 with insurance cover. Which is best India or USA?

[@uditpvyas]

What will happen to existing term insurance purchased in India before becoming NRI ? Can we have coverage after becoming an NRI too ?

[@19frankz]

sir I have one question. When NRI are paying their premium in India interms of dollars he will be paying less am I right sir. when you equate the 1 crore to 250000 $, should you consider the lower dollars he will be paying as premium? let's say he start with 100 rupees when dollars value was 45, he would have paid 2.1 $, now since dollar value is 75, he would be paying a premium of 1.5 $ for same 1 crore coverage.

[@leenajohn136]

It will not get terminated

[@raguvaranarumugam6772]

@@NRIMoneyClinic Thank you sir! Any Term Insurance plan or Providers recommend for OCI citizens?

[@jaymaniar]

Disagree with your views. Have you tried buying a term insurance in India vs Abroad. Each year the premiums go up abroad while in India it is the same. Under sec 80 you get tax benefit as well if you take policy in India. I would never buy any life insurance policy overseas. There are some policies in India which also give you return of premium.

Hello Sir, your videos are so helpful. Thanks for your detailed analysis and suggestions. I have a question, could you please consider to provide your view on it. I took some endowment and term insurance policies with LIC some years back and later moved to Europe. Now I am planning to change my Nationality from India to Europe. 1. What happens to my Insurance policies back in India ? 2. Am I still eligible to hold those policies ? 3. Does the maturity and claim process would be easy for me and my family when the time comes ? 4. Also, can I still buy new Term policies in India after the change of Nationality ? (I understood from your video, this is not beneficial, but just for my knowledge purpose). Thanks in advance for your answers.

Great video Mr. Bhat. As an NRI working in the USA, I may possibly return to India with no real base in the USA or Residency Status. In such a case, would it not be hard for my nominee(s) to secure a claim payment from the Insurance Company? You spoke about the claims process from Dubai etc. Any experience with doing so with US-based companies? A deep dive video would be great! Thank you.

Hello Mr. Bhat! Thanks for posting this video! May I ask your advice on some insurance companies in USA through which a NRI (like me) can get a life insurance, that would stand well even when go back in India after few years till my cover period?

[@NRIMoneyClinic]

Dear Mahesh , I don't operate in US Markets. Nevertheless all that you have to check with insurance company is scope of coverage - will it have a world wide coverage ? If you change your domicile, how it affects your policy. If you get satisfactory answers and terms and conditions in policy schedule mentions it so, then you can buy a suitable plan in US .

I disagree with your statement that the Cost of Insurance is more or less similar every where. Cost of Policies in UAE is higher than that of India

[@NRIMoneyClinic]

You have a point . Market forces will bring it on par . Indian rates will climb up a bit , UAE rates are likely to go down a bit more . There are ways and means to reduce insurance premium in UAE. Prices are also a function of volumes of business, competitive and regulatory landscape .
