Plan with precision

Know your numbers before you buy.

Seven calculations our advisors run every day, and a reminder service that does the remembering for you. They update as you type. Indicative, not a quotation: a formal recommendation follows underwriting, but these put you in the right ballpark in seconds.

Enter today's replacement values — not book values — to see the sum insured a fire policy should carry, and what under-insurance would do to a claim under the average clause.

These are indicative estimates from standard advisory formulas, not a quotation or a guarantee of insurability. Your actual cover depends on underwriting, health, occupation and the policy wording. An advisor will refine them with you.

Plain-language answers

Questions you might be
asking before you call us.

What makes RFS different?

Many providers simply sell policies. We assess your risk first and arrange cover second. That shows up in three concrete ways: a recommendation matched to your actual exposure, sector-specific policy wording for industries like mining, chemicals and hospitality, and active claims support that does not end once the policy is issued.

What is the difference between using an advisor and going direct?

Going direct to an insurer leaves you to interpret policy language and handle claims on your own. Working with an experienced advisor like RFS means cover matched to your actual risk, guidance across leading insurers' products, and someone who stays engaged through renewals and claims. That difference matters most when something goes wrong.

How does RFS get paid, and does it influence the advice?

Our recommendations are guided by your risk and your needs, not by sales targets. We are glad to walk you through the options we considered and why we recommended what we did, and where you ask us to, we will document that comparison in full.

What happens if I already have policies in place elsewhere?

We can review your existing programme without any obligation to move it. The output is a written report flagging coverage gaps, redundancies, sub-limit risks and renewal opportunities - the same document we would prepare for an internal audit. If the existing arrangement is sound, we will say so. Where it is not, you decide what to do with the information.

Critical Illness AdvisorsCritical Illness Advisors
Our Approach

The Financial Cost of a Critical Illness Is Rarely the Hospital Bill

For most critical illnesses, the hospital bill is only the beginning. Lost income during treatment, which typically runs six to eighteen months, post-treatment care, dietary requirements, rehabilitation and the accumulated financial disruption of a prolonged illness cost multiples of the treatment itself. Critical illness cover provides the lump sum to address all of it.

We compare CI plans on condition definition quality, the wording of 'cancer of specified severity' and 'first heart attack' varies significantly between insurers and directly determines whether a borderline claim is accepted or declined.
We size the sum assured to replace 18-24 months of your net income, the typical duration between diagnosis and return to work for major critical illnesses, rather than focusing solely on anticipated treatment costs.
We position CI cover as the income replacement complement to your health insurance: health pays the hospital bills; CI covers the income gap and recovery costs that health insurance does not address.
Who Needs This

Who Carries This Risk

If your situation matches those described below, this cover belongs in your financial plan.

01
Individuals with Family Medical History
A family history of cancer, cardiac disease or stroke materially elevates personal risk. CI insurance is most valuable when purchased before the condition develops, when premiums are lowest.
02
Corporate Professionals in High-Stress Roles
Sedentary office work, high job stress, irregular health monitoring and lifestyle risk factors elevate cardiovascular and lifestyle disease probability in this group.
03
Self-Employed Business Owners
A critical illness stops business revenue immediately and without warning. CI provides the cash flow to maintain both business operations and personal finances during the treatment and recovery period.
04
Individuals with Inadequate Health Cover
Those with health insurance sum insured below ₹10-15 lakh face significant out-of-pocket exposure for major treatments. CI cover fills this gap with a lump sum that is not subject to hospital bill scrutiny.
05
Mid-Career Earners with Fixed Liabilities
An individual in their 40s with a home loan, children's education funding and retirement savings still accumulating cannot absorb the financial impact of an uninsured critical illness.
06
Sole Breadwinners
Any individual whose income is the primary support for a family needs CI cover to bridge the income gap that a prolonged illness creates, regardless of whether health insurance covers the treatment itself.
How We Work

From Brief to Bound Cover

Three steps from your first conversation to a policy that is correctly structured and priced.

01
Risk Profile Assessment
We review your medical history, family health background, lifestyle factors and financial obligations to determine the appropriate CI sum assured and the condition set most relevant to your risk profile.
02
Plan Comparison
We compare CI plans across life and general insurers on condition count, definition quality, survival period requirements, premium and the insurer's track record in settling CI claims without definitional disputes.
03
Claims Documentation Support
On a diagnosis, we advise on the exact medical documentation required for the claim, liaise with the insurer's medical team and advocate for a prompt settlement decision, definitional disputes are common and benefit from professional support.
Key Benefits

Why Clients Place This Cover Through Us

Condition Definition Analysis
We review the precise wording of each condition definition before recommending a plan. 'Cancer' and 'heart attack' mean different things in different policies. Poor definitions create denied claims on conditions the policyholder reasonably expected to be covered.
Income Replacement Sizing
We size CI cover to replace 18-24 months of your net income, not a round number. This is the metric that determines whether CI cover actually replaces your income during recovery.
Health Insurance Integration
We position CI as the income replacement layer above your health insurance, health covers the bills, CI covers the income loss and everything else. Together, they provide genuinely comprehensive cover.
Claim Documentation Guidance
CI claims require specific medical evidence that must match the policy's condition definitions precisely. We guide you through exactly what is needed and manage the submission process to minimise documentation-based delays.
FAQ

Common Questions

The benefit is paid on confirmed diagnosis of a covered condition, subject to the survival period, typically 30 days after diagnosis. This means the policyholder must survive for 30 days following diagnosis for the claim to be payable. Some modern plans have reduced or eliminated the survival period for certain conditions; we confirm the terms before recommending a plan.
No. Health insurance reimburses actual hospitalisation and treatment costs on an indemnity basis, it pays bills presented to the hospital and reimbursed against receipts. Critical illness insurance pays a fixed lump sum on diagnosis, regardless of actual treatment cost and without requiring hospitalisation. The benefit can be used for any purpose, treatment, income replacement, debt repayment or recovery costs.
Most critical illness plans have an initial waiting period of 90 days from the date of policy inception, during which no claims are payable. Conditions diagnosed or first showing symptoms within this period are excluded. After 90 days, the full policy coverage applies.
Yes. A health insurance claim pays for hospitalisation and treatment costs. A critical illness claim pays the lump-sum benefit on diagnosis. Both claims are independent, they are triggered by different events (incurred costs versus confirmed diagnosis) and can both be made for the same underlying condition.
This is the most common source of CI claim disputes. An early-stage cancer may not meet the 'specified severity' threshold. A cardiac event may not produce the required biomarker elevation. We select plans with the broadest and most inclusive condition definitions, and review the fine print of each definition before recommending a plan, because a CI claim is only as good as the definition that governs it.

Critical illness cover sized to replace your income during recovery, not just to pay your hospital bill.

Most CI policies are under-sized and placed without careful review of condition definitions. Both can be fixed before you need to claim.
