Cancer & Critical Illness Cover in New Delhi: what you need to know
Choosing cancer & critical illness cover in new delhi is one of the most important financial decisions a household in New Delhi can make, and it is also one of the easiest to get wrong without local guidance. A tax-free lump sum paid on diagnosis of a listed major illness, money for income loss and non-medical costs that hospitalisation cover does not touch.

Frequently asked questions: Cancer & Critical Illness Cover in New Delhi
How much critical illness cover should I hold in New Delhi?
Three to five times annual income is a practical benchmark. For a Rs 12 lakh earner in New Delhi, Rs 40-50 lakh is realistic.
Is critical illness insurance needed if I have mediclaim in New Delhi?
Yes. Mediclaim pays the hospital. Critical illness cover pays your lost income, caregiver costs and EMIs during treatment, which mediclaim does not.
Will my claim be paid at any hospital in New Delhi?
Critical illness is a benefit policy paid on diagnosis, not on hospital bills, so the hospital network does not matter. What matters is that the diagnosis meets the policy definition.
Do I need critical illness cover if I already have health insurance?
They solve different problems. Health insurance pays the hospital; critical illness insurance pays you. During eighteen months of cancer treatment your bills may be covered while your salary stops and your EMI continues. Critical illness cover funds that gap.
How many illnesses should a good plan cover?
The count matters less than the definitions. Compare how cancer severity, heart attack by troponin threshold and stroke by permanent deficit are worded, since that is what decides whether a claim is paid.
When is the money paid?
On confirmed diagnosis of a covered condition at the specified severity, after the survival period of usually 14-30 days, and after the 90-day initial waiting period from policy start.
