Big Relief, Bigger Protection.
Your insurance premiums just got lighter, thanks to a major GST reform.
In a major move that puts the spotlight back on accessible healthcare and financial protection, the GST Council has officially exempted all individual health and life insurance policies from Goods & Services Tax.
Previously, these essential insurance products attracted a standard 18% GST, which added a significant cost burden, especially for those with high annual premiums or comprehensive coverage. For example, a ₹20,000 health insurance premium would earlier include ₹3,600 as GST.
But now, that’s completely waived.
What This Means for You:
- Your health and life insurance premiums will cost less, starting immediately.
- You’ll pay only for your policy, not the tax on it.
- This could lead to major long-term savings, especially for families, senior citizens, and individuals with critical illness cover.
- It removes one of the key barriers many people face when considering insurance.
Why This Reform Matters:
This move isn’t just financial, it’s strategic.
With rising healthcare costs and the continued importance of financial preparedness, this GST exemption is a step towards making insurance a necessity, not a privilege. It’s a signal that health and life coverage are no longer optional; they’re essential. And it should be accessible without unnecessary cost additions.
This change is especially beneficial for first-time buyers who may have been putting off insurance due to cost. It’s also good news for those whose policies are up for renewal; your upcoming premiums could be lower than you expected.
What You Should Do Now:
Whether you’re buying a new policy or reviewing your existing one, this is the perfect moment to take action.
