Insurance for You
By occupation and life stage — landing questions with practical checklists.
Farmer
What insurance should a farmer have?
- Crop / weather-related schemes where eligible — verify on official portals.
- Accident and life protection for the earning member.
- Health cover for the family; livestock cover where relevant.
Daily-wage worker
How can a daily-wage worker protect their family?
- Start with government accident/life schemes if eligible (PMSBY/PMJJBY).
- Basic health protection as budget allows.
- Emergency cash buffer matters as much as insurance.
Auto driver
Insurance protection for auto drivers
- Valid motor insurance (third-party mandatory).
- Personal accident + health for the driver and family.
- Life cover if there are dependents.
Small shop owner
Insurance for small businesses
- Shop/property and contents may help with fire/theft — subject to policy terms.
- Personal health + life still come first for the family.
- Consider business interruption concepts if stock and premises are critical.
Homemaker
Does a homemaker need life insurance?
- Homemakers provide unpaid labour — life cover can still protect the household’s replacement cost of care.
- Ensure inclusion in family health floater.
- Nominee and documentation hygiene for all policies.
Self-employed
Insurance for self-employed people
- No employer health — buy personal/family health deliberately.
- Term life sized to income replacement + loans.
- Professional indemnity if you sell expert services.
Salaried employee
How much insurance do I need if my employer already provides cover?
- Map employer health/life limits — they may not be enough and may end with the job.
- Personal term + top-up health often fill the gap.
- Run the Employer Insurance Gap tool on the calculators page.
Senior citizen
Health insurance considerations for seniors
- Senior health products may have different waiting periods and room limits.
- Review portability and continuous coverage carefully.
- Keep emergency funds high — claim timelines vary.
Family
Insurance checklist for families
- Health floater + adequate sum insured for your city.
- Term life on earning members; accident cover.
- Home/motor as applicable; revisit after marriage, child or home loan.
