Police arrest man for defrauding insurance firm of Rs 34 lakh
Kochi: A man accused of defrauding Rs 34 lakh from a private insurance company was arrested by the police here on Thursday.
The suspect, identified as Varun Kumar Nair (36), a resident of Ochira in Kollam, was apprehended on charges of cheating Niva Bupa Health Insurance Company Limited, police said.
Varun had taken a personal accident insurance policy worth Rs 25 lakh. He underwent cashless treatment amounting to Rs 3,41,995 at Valiyath Institute of Medical Science Hospital in Kollam and he claimed an additional Rs 70 lakh for pre-and post-hospitalisation expenses. After verification of bills, he was paid Rs 34 lakh by the company, police said. The fraud was orchestrated using fake invoices procured through the PharmEasy online platform, they said.
Varun allegedly placed online orders for medicines using the cash-on-delivery option, cancelled the deliveries, and used the invoices to claim reimbursements from the insurance company, officials said. He then transferred the claim amount to a different bank account, police said.
The scam came to light during an internal investigation conducted by Niva Bupa Health Insurance Manager Abdullah and their partner, Optimus Medical Service, police added.
Varun, who had been absconding after the Kerala High Court rejected his anticipatory bail plea, was tracked down and arrested by the Kochi city police. Following his arrest, he was presented in a local court, which remanded him to judicial custody, police confirmed.

Canara HSBC Life Insurance has launched a brand campaign featuring actor Varun Sharma, focusing on the importance of financial planning for modern consumers. Reportedly, the campaign includes three main ad films and supporting content, showcasing scenarios where financial solutions like savings, retirement, and term plans address diverse goals.

Often seen as complex and overwhelming, financial planning becomes relatable and engaging through this campaign’s light-hearted yet meaningful storytelling. By showcasing real-life scenarios, we not only highlight the importance of insurance but also demonstrate how our tailored solutions empower individuals to achieve their diverse aspirations seamlessly.” Rishi Mathur, chief marketing officer and chief distribution officer- Alternate Channels, Canara HSBC Life Insurance, said.
From what is understood, the films depict relatable situations: a couple exploring savings and retirement plans, two brothers addressing financial goals through term and savings plans, and a father-son conversation on securing future generations using child and retirement plans. The campaign will roll out across digital platforms, television, and social media channels.
Shares of insurance companies took a hit on Monday, declining by as much as 6% in intra-day trading on the BSE. The downturn followed the Goods and Services Tax (GST) Council’s decision to defer discussions on reducing GST rates for life and health insurance premiums. Consequently, the existing GST rates on insurance remain unchanged.
The Council, which also postponed a decision on rationalizing taxes for 148 other items, cited the need for more time to finalize its reports. Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, during a post-meeting briefing, explained that the Group of Ministers (GoM) is awaiting crucial inputs from the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India (IRDAI) regarding insurance premium rates. Once these inputs are reviewed, the finalized reports will be submitted to the Council for further deliberation.
As a result, key insurance stocks experienced significant declines. Shares of New India Assurance Company dropped 6% to ₹200.80, while General Insurance Corporation of India slipped 3% to ₹485.55. These declines reversed some of the gains from last Friday when General Insurance Corporation surged 14% and New India Assurance rose 4% despite a sluggish market.
Other major players like ICICI Prudential Life Insurance, ICICI Lombard General Insurance, SBI Life Insurance, HDFC Life Insurance, Star Health, LIC, and Niva Bupa Health Insurance saw stock prices dip between 1% and 2%. Over the past month, life insurers such as ICICI Prudential, HDFC Life, and SBI Life have reported declines of 6% to 10%, compared to a 2% dip in the broader market index.
ICICI Securities noted that the delay in the GST Council’s decision and the lack of a clear timeline for implementation have created uncertainty, keeping insurance stocks under pressure in the short term.
Despite these immediate challenges, analysts remain optimistic about the sector’s long-term growth potential. India’s insurance penetration remains below global averages, but factors such as a significant protection gap and rising per capita income are expected to drive future growth. Additionally, the demand for credit protection products is in its early stages and is poised for expansion as retail loan penetration increases.
Experts believe that companies with a strong product mix, robust services, and extensive distribution networks will emerge as key beneficiaries in the sector. However, they caution that regulatory changes and intensified competition may pose risks to profitability in the long run.

Diwali, the festival of lights, is a time of joy, celebration, and new beginnings. It’s time when we clean and decorate our homes, light diyas, share sweets, and celebrate with family and friends. But Diwali also brings additional expenses, from festive shopping to gifting and even home improvements. So, while we celebrate, it’s also wise to take steps to secure our finances and make the most of our money.
Here are the top 5 financial tips to help you enjoy a prosperous and secure Diwali this year!
1. Set a Budget for Festive Spending
Diwali expenses can easily add up – whether it’s buying gifts, new clothes, or decorations. Before you start shopping, take some time to set a budget. Allocate specific amounts for each category like clothes, gifts, sweets, and household items. Setting a budget will help you avoid overspending and make sure you don’t dip into your savings or emergency funds.
Tip: Use digital budgeting apps like Walnut, Money Manager, or Google Sheets to track your spending throughout the festive season. Staying within your budget will help you save more and keep your finances stable.
2. Avoid Unnecessary Debt
Festivals often tempt us into spending more, and some people even consider taking loans or using credit cards for expenses. However, it’s important to remember that debt can lead to financial stress later. If you must use a credit card, be mindful of your expenses and ensure you can pay the balance on time. Avoid making high-interest purchases on credit, like jewelry or luxury items, which may lead to a debt trap if not managed carefully.
Pro Tip: Consider an interest-free EMI option if you need to make big purchases. Many banks and digital payment apps like Paytm, Amazon Pay, and Flipkart offer these schemes during the festive season.
3. Secure Your Health and Home with Insurance
Diwali is a time for celebrations, but accidents and mishaps can happen, especially with fireworks and diyas around. Protect your family and assets by investing in the right insurance policies. A health insurance policy ensures that you have financial support in case of medical emergencies, while home insurance protects your property from fire, theft, and other damages.
With various insurance options available, you can choose plans that suit your needs and give you peace of mind. This Diwali, prioritize your family’s safety and security by investing in insurance.
Quick Suggestion: Look for comprehensive health insurance that covers hospital expenses, and a fire insurance policy to protect your home.
4. Take Advantage of Festive Investment Offers
Many banks and financial institutions offer special investment schemes during Diwali. From fixed deposits with higher interest rates to discounts on mutual funds and other financial products, these offers can be a good way to grow your savings.
If you’re planning long-term investments, consider options like Systematic Investment Plans (SIPs) in mutual funds or Public Provident Fund (PPF) for tax benefits. Investing during Diwali, often considered an auspicious time, can give you a great start towards building wealth for the future.
Pro Tip: Check out short-term investment options like liquid funds if you’re looking for returns with lower risks and easy liquidity.
5. Plan for the Future with Tax-Saving Investments
As the financial year is coming to an end in March, now is a good time to start planning your tax-saving investments. Consider options like ELSS (Equity-Linked Savings Scheme) mutual funds, PPF, or National Pension System (NPS) to reduce your taxable income while securing your financial future.
Tax-saving investments not only help you save on taxes but also grow your wealth over time. Setting up these investments around Diwali gives you a few months to meet your financial goals by the end of the fiscal year.
Quick Suggestion: Start a SIP in an ELSS mutual fund for tax benefits and potential long-term growth. ELSS investments have a three-year lock-in period and can offer better returns compared to other tax-saving options.
Final Thoughts
Diwali is the perfect time to reflect on your financial habits and make a fresh start. These five financial tips – setting a budget, avoiding unnecessary debt, securing your health and home, making smart investments, and planning for tax savings – can help you make the most of your money and ensure financial stability.
By taking small steps today, you can celebrate a worry-free and financially secure Diwali. After all, true prosperity comes not just from spending, but also from saving and investing wisely. Here’s wishing you a Diwali filled with joy, prosperity, and financial security!

As of October 1, 2024, health insurance policies have become more favourable for customers.
Here are the key updates in health insurance regulations, making it easier to explain to potential buyers.
Key Updates in Health Insurance Policies:
-
Shorter Waiting Period for Pre-Existing Conditions
The waiting period for pre-existing conditions has been reduced from 48 months to 36 months. After this period, insurance companies cannot reject claims for pre-existing conditions, even if the policyholder didn’t disclose the condition earlier.
-
No Age Limit for Senior Citizens
Before, people over 65 couldn’t buy new health insurance. Now, there’s no age limit, so anyone—regardless of their age—can purchase a health policy.
-
Inclusive Health Coverage
Insurance companies must now offer health insurance to mental health patients, special needs children, transgenders, and people with HIV/AIDS. This makes health insurance more inclusive.
-
No Claim Denials After 5 Years
Insurance companies cannot deny claims after 5 years, even for reasons like non-disclosure or misrepresentation. However, if there’s proven fraud, the claim can still be contested in court.
-
Meaningful Discounts for No Claims
If no claims are made during the year, policyholders can choose between increasing the sum insured or getting a discount on their premium for the next year.
-
Refund Anytime
Policyholders can cancel their policy anytime and get a refund based on how long they used the policy. For example, if you pay Rs. 12,000 in premium and cancel after six months, you’ll get Rs. 6,000 back.
-
Higher Claim Settlement Chances
IRDAI has asked insurance companies to set up a committee called Claims Review Committee (CRC). This committee will review the claims, which are rejected by the insurer.
Further, claim requests can only be rejected after approval of this committee. Also, insurers will have to give reason for rejection along concerning the specific terms and conditions of the policy document.
-
Smoother Claim Settlement Process
Insurance companies and Third-Party Administrators (TPAs) must collect required documents directly from the hospital, so policyholders don’t have to submit them separately. Also, cashless claims should be processed within 1 hour, and final payments made within 3 hours of discharge.

In a landmark decision aimed at enhancing the well-being of the elderly, the Union government has approved a free health insurance cover of ₹5 lakh for all citizens aged 70 and above. This monumental move is part of the government’s flagship Ayushman Bharat Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (AB PMJAY), ensuring that India’s senior citizens receive much-needed healthcare coverage at no cost.
This initiative is set to benefit 6 crore senior citizens across 4.5 crore families, providing crucial healthcare support to the elderly population, many of whom face rising medical expenses. The free health cover, worth ₹5 lakh per year, will be on a family basis and is aimed at ensuring that senior citizens have access to essential healthcare services without the financial burden.
A Lifeline for Senior Citizens
The approved health coverage will operate on a top-up basis. For families already covered under the Ayushman Bharat Scheme, the senior citizens above 70 years will receive an additional cover of ₹5 lakh, specifically reserved for their use. This coverage is exclusive to the individual above 70 and does not need to be shared with other family members who are younger.
This initiative is open to all senior citizens, irrespective of their socio-economic status, making it a truly inclusive scheme. Additionally, senior citizens who are already receiving benefits from other public health insurance schemes can choose to either continue with their current plan or opt into Ayushman Bharat PMJAY for this top-up benefit.
A Promise Fulfilled
This announcement comes as a fulfillment of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s promise made during the run-up to the general elections. The PM had committed to improving the health infrastructure and making healthcare more accessible for all, particularly the vulnerable elderly population.
The decision underscores the government’s focus on providing healthcare security to senior citizens, who often face age-related health challenges and are more susceptible to chronic illnesses. By introducing this free health insurance cover, the government aims to alleviate financial stress on families and offer peace of mind to the elderly, knowing they can access medical care without worrying about high costs.
A Step Toward Universal Healthcare
The Ayushman Bharat PMJAY scheme has already been lauded as one of the world’s largest public health insurance initiatives. With this latest addition, the scheme continues to set benchmarks in providing healthcare access to the most vulnerable sections of society. The new health coverage for senior citizens further strengthens the government’s vision of “Health for All”, ensuring that no one is left behind, regardless of age or financial background.
What Does This Mean for You?
Families with senior citizens above the age of 70 can now rest assured that their loved ones are protected under the Ayushman Bharat scheme, with no additional cost. The scheme offers:
- Free health insurance coverage of ₹5 lakh per year, reserved exclusively for individuals above 70 years of age.
- Top-up cover for families already enrolled in the Ayushman Bharat scheme, ensuring more comprehensive healthcare for the elderly.
- Access to public and private healthcare facilities across the country, ensuring that senior citizens can receive timely and quality medical treatment.
Conclusion
The Union government’s decision to extend free health coverage to all senior citizens above 70 years is a significant step toward ensuring that India’s elderly population is well cared for. With this initiative, millions of families across the country will have the support they need to navigate healthcare challenges with ease, ensuring that senior citizens can live their golden years with dignity and security.
