5 Golden Rules to Become Rich

We live in a society where there are people who are extremely rich and also there are people who are struggling with money. Now the question arises is, why is this difference in the first place? Why some people even with less education get rich and why some people with higher education struggles financially.

It is the habits of rich people and poor or average people that creates this difference. Here are 7 such habits that you need to improve if you want to be a rich person in the future.

1. Stop wasting time now

Time is Money!! The most important reason that the Rich are getting Richer and the poor are getting poorer day by day because the rich utilize their time while the poor waste their time. Most people did not even realize that how are they wasting their precious time. If you have a habit of watching every TV Series or long gossips with friends, you need to change this habit now. Cut off your time from these non-productive activities and start investing your time wisely in the accomplishment of your goal because rich never waste time.

2. Taking risk is the new trend

Be a risk taker otherwise, you won’t grow to believe me. People will tell you that it is risky and you can’t do something but go for it if you really believe in it because the world is full of smart people who are smart, as long it’s not about money. When it comes to money, everyone wants to play it safe.

You got a dream…you gotta protect it. People can’t do something themselves, they wanna tell you, you can’t do it. If you want something, go get it

Playing it safe when it comes to money is never going to help you. Getting rich is all about calculated risk, so if you are ready to take the risk, there is no one who can stop you being successful except yourself.

3. Generate different sources of income

Only one source of income is never going to help you if you want to be a millionaire one day. You can never rely on a single job income if you want to be rich. Being rich requires extra efforts, it may be a side hustle, a part-time job or rented income. But having more than one source of income is very very necessary. Different sources of income will help you with that extra money that you can invest to grow your business after paying all your bills.

4. Change your friend’s circle

No, I am not saying leave all your friends right away. But being successful require the company of like-minded people like you. People who talk about life goals, money and success. You have to spend time with such people to increase your knowledge. If your current friend’s group is like that, you are lucky just keep listening to what everyone is saying and share your knowledge as well. Everyone must grow together, If it is not like that, then keep your regular friends for some hang out and chill parties but spent most of the time with aspiring people, people who are like you. Building a relationship with successful people will only help you in being successful.

5. Stick to the Goal

If you ask anyone if they want to be rich one day, believe me 99% of people say yes, but if you ask them how are they going to do it, most of them did not have answer to it, few will say that didn’t have any plan now or they are too busy to think about this. Thinking is easy than taking action and that’s why most people only read and think that they will get rich one day but never work on it.

Power of mind

A person’s greatest asset is his mind. You have to use your mind only to Grow Rich. There is a famous book by Napoleon Hill Think and Grow Rich. Remember the title is Think and Grow Rich and not Work Hard and Grow Rich. Hard working people only earn what is left by smart earning people. There is another book Rich Dad Poor Dad: What the Rich Teach Their Kids About Money That the Poor and Middle Class Do Not!. This book will help you in understanding how you can use your mind to create money making assets. Smart idea and the right choice is the most valuable asset for you, you just have to understand how to use it to create money. Use the unlimited power of your mind and grow rich.

Power of Time

Unfortunately, everyone in this world got the same 24 hours daily. It’s up to you how you want to spend that time. You can develop new skills for self-development. Start your day early so if you get stuck at traffic or at your daily work, you still have time left to look at your business. Automate things as much as you can so that your money will grow even when you are sleeping or partying with friends. Try to generate passive income sources so that you never have to worry about wasting your day. Utilize your time wisely and come out of the crowd, grow rich and successful.

It’s not that easy to acquire these habits otherwise everyone will be rich today. It takes a lot of effort to discipline yourself but once it is done, there is no limit on how much you can earn. It’s just the experience and learning that will help you to increase your bank balance in the future.

Top money-making business ideas to start for daily income

Parking service

I’ve faced plenty of times a situation where I ended up paying some money to the parking owners at different places like it’s a railway station, malls, markets, parks, and many other places too, I’ve seen that in many cities there are parking facilities under the bridges. So due to such conditions, I got this idea of starting a parking service.

There has been rapid growth in the number of vehicles for few years and it wouldn’t be stopped in the upcoming years as it is directly connected to the population, though the government had implemented odd-even law in the capital of India it hadn’t worked. That’s why as far as I know this business has great potential to make some good money with minimal investment and without much effort.

Generally, you can take charge based on 24 hours, places like the railway station or under a bridge where people normally leave their vehicles for more than one or two days. At malls or near the malls, temples, parks and tourist places, you can charge based on hourly as they’re not going to spend more than a few hours.

Generally, they take in between Rs. 40-80 but mostly it depends on the location where you own a plot. let’s consider you have decided to take Rs. 50 for each vehicle. Assume you are getting daily traffic of approx 400-500 cars on holidays and weekends.

Then daily income would be around 20k to 25k, here your one-time investment is a plot and I am sure no other investment could give you a better return than this plan. As far as your plot is near to the tourist place, let’s say around 1-2 km then people don’t mind paying for it unless their vehicle remains safe. Even there are some apps that show parking availability nearby, so it’s one great way to grab some more customers. You can also give it for marriage functions or to event planners which pays a very good amount in return.

Vault service

“Have you ever appeared for national level exams such as JEE, NEET, PMT or any government exams by traveling to other cities or states alone?” Due to less availability of centers for exams students needs to travel to other states for the exam.

I got this idea from one of my friends who went to give the NEET exam near my city. He told me that incident how people lost their valuable belongings due to unavailability of the vault and yes it is a fact that mostly examination centers wouldn’t provide you that service.

lt vault service

He had been told by security checker to wear out the watch he had worn, otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to appear for the exam. As he was empty-handed without bag he had to put it on campus premises and I don’t think it’s a good idea to leave precious things in that way and yes on that day many lost their valuable things. ( Who doesn’t want to steal some precious things no matter if it’s college or not) I came to know that as per rules for NEET exams you’re not allowed to bring things like watches, bags, and communication devices like Mobile phones, Bluetooth, Earphone, Wallet, Handbag, Ornaments. Even earrings are not allowed inside so what girls will do in such a case, “where would they keep those stuff?”

So the business idea I got here is one can install a tent outside every examination center and charge some fees for keeping their belongings safe with us. I’m not going to calculate the money you can earn through this but you can calculate on your own.

You can take charge in between the range of Rs.30-100, for precious things like ornaments could take Rs. 80-100. By putting such vault all across India you can earn pretty good bucks in quick time.

This idea is for one who always procrastinates by saying I don’t have enough money to start a business.

Import/Export

Let me first start with the requirements you need to start this business:

One of the best things is with the help of laptop and internet connection you’re ready to jump into this business if you don’t want to store your goods or products and next thing you’ll be required is the registration of your firm, current account, PAN card, and import-export code.

Some of the import-export ideas:

If you go on AliExpress you’ll see ample of things at very cheap rates, there are watches, phone cases, screen guard and many more. All you’ve to do is find some good supplier for this stuff.

Let’s say you want to sell watches, suppose you got seller selling at price of $ 4-5, then all you’ve to do is order in bulk, let’s consider you’re ordering 1k pieces ( The more you buy the more discount or negotiation you get).

Now it’s time to sell at your place and which you could sell easily at a price of $ 15-20.

Calculation: for 1k pieces, you’ll spend $ 4k to 5k
Now let’s consider you are selling it at $15-20 which helps you to make $15k to 20k.

Here you’re getting ROI of around 73-75 %, isn’t it sounds good, huh?

I’m living in the city of the textile industry from where I got this idea. What you could do is, by buying raw fabric at a very cheap rate of Rs. 40-50 for one meter try to sell it to nearby states or else export it abroad.

Let’s assume you are buying a 5k meter of fabric at a cost of Rs. 250k ( considering you’re buying at Rs. 50 per meter) and you are getting Rs.150-170 by exporting it.

Calculation: purchase cost of Rs. 250k
By selling at Rs. 150 per meter you’ll get Rs. 750k, So your profit would be 500k. (some charges excluded)

Ps: Here I haven’t included custom duty if you’re exporting it abroad and some transportation costs in case you export it to the interstate.

There are a number of products to export just look around and see which products you’re getting from outside state because it’s not available in your state in that way find in which products you’re good (which things are famous in your area and can be export) and try to sell them to other states.

“Want to earn some extra money?” All you can do is give your hands in dry fruits selling a business. I personally know someone who is earning some easy case by doing this. Let me tell you one example: “What is the price of cashew nuts in your city?” Normally, range lies between 800-1500, it varies as quality change but in some Maharashtra (India) region you can get it for Rs. 300-400, if you personally visit the owner who produces cashew nuts.

Here, profit ranges from 2.5x to 3x. I haven’t described transportation cost and don’t forget to check prices for other dry fruits for your state and find out that particular city which has mass production of such.

Dropshipping

Since a couple of years, this industry has taken leaps and bounds across the world. The reason is you don’t need to have plenty of bucks in your pocket, $100 is enough for you to get into this.

Why you should start this?

One of the most prominent advantages is it doesn’t require any physical inventory, which means no inventory cost. Whenever a purchase is made through your store, you place an order with the third party who’ll handle the rest of the process for you. Moreover, you can run this from any corner of the world or by sitting at home.

Let’s start with steps you’d required to start:

Create a store:

I recommend you to use Shopify e-commerce website, where you can create your own store within a couple of hours. They will you give 14 days free trial and then takes charge $29/month and which is very low as you’re going to generate great revenue from this hence it’s worth to pay.

Choose niche:

Here niche is stood for specific thing i.e electronic products, apparel, sports, pets and so on. Find your interest and choose the product according to it. Everyone is selling clothing and electronics accessories, right? I recommend you to go something unique and trendy. In case you want to find hot selling products go on Google trends, enter the product name and you’ll see the chart about how it progressed since few years.

Find products:

AliExpress is the best platform where you can find products with very cheap rate try to find as many as the supplier so that one can find quality products with less money.

I personally know one who used to sell women face cleansing tool, who had bought it for $4 from AliExpress and sold it for $15. That’s how you’ve to be upgraded with latest such stuff so that you could make some decent amount within no time.

Now to make your products sell you’ve to do advertising. There are many ways which you can use some of them are free while some are paid. Different sites like Twitter, Quora, Pinterest, Facebook page, Instagram account are some free methods to drive traffic to your store. Influencer, Google ad, Facebook ads are some ways where you need to invest some money.

Let me tell you in some deep how you can use influencers to sell your products. For this find influencers (Instagram) who are relevant to your niche and always go for one who has more than 150k at least active followers and tell them to shoutout for your product for which they normally charge $50-$70.

Suppose you want to sell women face cleansing tool with a price of $15 and you pay $50 for shoutout, let’s assume influencer page has 150k followers and 80k people seeing your post from where you got around 5% conversation rate which would be 4k and from them 3% of people bought that product that is 120.

Now calculate the revenue: 120*15 = $1800

Net profit: (1800) – (3120) – (50) = $1390

Does it sound bad to earn $1390 in one day? It takes only a couple of hours to earn this.

To do advertising with Facebook ads you’ve to learn how to do it properly. In this method, you are targeting a specific group of people who are interested in your niche. You can find a relevant course on YouTube and some online educational sites like Udemy, Coursera, Khan Academy and many more. You can start advertising with just $5 per day and you can set as many ads as you wish. Though it requires some skills which you’re getting by flipping some educational sites, Google and YouTube.

17 key Terms in the Stock market that you should know

Stock Market is a place where buyers and sellers meet to buy and sell their shares/stocks. Many young enthusiasts who want to enter the stock market but do not possess the basic knowledge of the markets and the common terminologies used in the market. before entering the market it is very essential that we should know the basic terms used in the stock market which would make our trading much more easier.

Read Top Financial mistakes made by Indians

Although there are thousands of terminologies that a stock market investor/trader should know, however, they are a handful of them that are repeatedly used. This basic domain knowledge of these terms is really important if you want to enter and succeed in the share market.

1. Share

Shares are units of ownership interest in a corporation or financial assets that provide for an equal distribution in any profits, if any are declared, in the form of dividends. The two main types of shares are common shares and preferred shares. Physical paper stock certificates have been replaced with electronic recording of stock shares, just as mutual funds shares are recorded electronically.

2. Intraday

When you buy and sell the share on the same day, then it is called intraday trading. Here the shares are not purchased for investing, but to get profits by harnessing the movement in the market.

3. Delivery

When you buy a share and hold it for more than one day, then it is called delivery. It doesn’t matter whether you sell it tomorrow, after 1 week, 6 months or 5 years. If you hold the stock for more than one day, then it is called delivery.

4. Bull market

A bull market is the condition of a market of a group of securities in which prices are rising or are expected to rise. The term “bull market” is most often used to refer to the stock market but can be applied to anything that is traded, such as bonds, real estate, currencies, and commodities. Because prices of securities rise and fall essentially continuously during trading, the term “bull market” is typically reserved for extended periods in which a large portion of security prices are rising. Bull markets tend to last for months or even years.

Bull market

5. Bear Market

When the share prices are falling and the public is pessimistic about the stock market, then it’s a bear market. The public is fearful and thinks that the market will continue to fall and hence, selling increases in this market.

6. Stock Exchange

 Just like a vegetable market, exchanges act as a market where the stock buyers connect with stock sellers. There are two big stock exchanges in India- Bombay stock exchange (BSE) and National stock exchange (NSE).

7. Dividend

Whenever a company (whose shares you are holding) is in profit, the company can either reinvest the profit or distribute the amount among its shareholders. This share of the profit that you get from the company is called dividend.

Companies may or may not give dividends to their shareholders depending on their needs. If it’s growing fast, it might re-invest the profit in its expansion. However, if it has enough cash, the company will distribute it among its shareholders.

8. Index

Since there are thousands of companies listed on a stock exchange, hence it’s really hard to track every single stock to evaluate the market performance at a time. Therefore, a smaller sample is taken which is the representative of the whole market. This small sample is called Index and it helps in the measurement of the value of a section of the stock market. The index is computed from the prices of selected stocks.

9. Limit order

A buy limit order is an order to purchase an asset at or below a specified price, allowing traders to control how much they pay. By using a buy limit order, the investor is guaranteed to pay that price or less. While the price is guaranteed, the filling of the order is not. If the asset does not reach the specified price, the order is not filled and the investor may miss out on the trading opportunity. Said another way, by using a buy limit order the investor is guaranteed to pay the buy limit order price or better, but it is not guaranteed that the order will be filled.

10. Market order

When you want to buy/sell a share at the current market price, then you need to place a market order. For example, if the market price of ‘Tata Motors’ is Rs 400 and you are ready to buy the share at the same price, then you place a market order. Here, the order is executed instantaneously.

11. Trading volume

It is the total number of shares being traded at a particular period of time. When securities are more actively traded, their trade volume is high. Higher trade volumes for a stock mean higher liquidity, better order execution and a more active market for connecting a buyer and seller.

12. Volatility

It means how fast a stock price moves up or down. More volatile assets are considered riskier than less volatile assets because the price is expected to be less predictable and may fluctuate dramatically.

13. Liquidity

Liquidity means how easily you can buy/sell a share without affecting the share price. A highly liquid share means that it can easily be bought or sold. Low liquid stock means that the buyers/sellers are hard to find.

14. Short selling

It is a practice where the trader sells share first (which he doesn’t even own at that time) and hope that the price of that share starts falling. He will make a profit by buying back those shares at a lower price. Overall, both selling and buying are done here, however, it’s sequence is opposite to the regular transactions to get the profit of the falling share prices.

15. Going long

This is buying the shares in expectations that the share price is going to increase. When a trader say I am “Going long…” or “Go long”, it indicates his interest in buying a particular share.

16. Average down

This is an approach that investors use to buy more shares when the share price starts falling. This results in an overall lower average price for that share. For example, you bought a stock at Rs 100. Then the stock price starts falling. You bought the stock again at Rs 80 and Rs 60. Hence, the average price of your investment will be lower i.e. Rs 80. This is the approach used in averaging down.

17. Public float (free float)

Public float or free float represents the portion of shares of a company that is in the hands of public investors

These are some of the terminologies which you might come across while reading business articles. There are many other terminologies that should be learned to understand how markets functions. You can get those in Investopedia.

Let’s discuss this one by one, and by the end, let’s find out which is the best one for you.

Digital Marketing Strategies

1. Become a Blogger & Affiliate Marketer

If you are the type of person who wants time and location freedom, becoming a blogger is your best choice. You can work from anywhere. You will not have a boss. You need not be the boss to anyone. Your blog(s) will become assets. And a source of passive income. You can travel, and take holidays whenever you want.

A blog can attract traffic. You can monetize that traffic by selling other products (affiliate marketing) or by launching your own products. You can build an email list, and have followers on all social media channels. Everything can be automated. This is one of the best options to live the life of your dreams.

Blogger & Affiliate Marketer

Especially, if traveling is what you want to do. But you cannot become a successful blogger just like that. To grow your blog, you need to learn digital marketing. And you have to be extremely good at it. One of the reasons for the growth of my blog is that I have learned and applied digital marketing to grow it.

Blogging is great for you if:

  • You are ready to wait long term for the income to come.
  • You are comfortable appearing in front of an audience
  • You love being a celebrity among your followers and love that attention!

But…

Blogging might not be for you if:

  • You are not interested or comfortable in creating a personal brand
  • You are not comfortable to appear in front of an audience
  • You want faster growth and more assured income
  • You are not interested in a lifestyle business.
Digital Marketing Services

Then… You can get a good digital marketing job. This leads us to the 2nd way to monetize your skill…

Affiliate marketing is a popular tactic to drive sales and generate significant online revenue. Extremely beneficial to both brands and affiliate marketers, the new push towards less traditional marketing tactics has paid off. In fact:

  • 81% of brands and 84% of publishers leverage the power of affiliate marketing, a statistic that will continue to increase as affiliate marketing spending increases every year in the United States.
  • There is a 10.1% increase in affiliate marketing spending in the United States each year, meaning that by 2020, that number will reach $6.8 billion.
  • In 2018, content marketing costs were gauged to be 62% of traditional marketing schemes while simultaneously generating three times the leads of traditional methods. In fact, 16% of all orders made online can be attributed to the impact of affiliate marketing.
  • In March of 2017, Amazon’s affiliate structure changed, offering rates of 1-10% of product revenue for creators, providing the opportunity for affiliates to dramatically increase their passive income based on the vertical they’re selling on.
  • The affiliate marketing of Jason Stone, otherwise known as Millionaire Mentor, was responsible for as much as $7 million in retailer sales just in the months of June and July in 2017.

How Does Affiliate Marketing Work?

There are three different parties must be involved:

  1. Seller and product creators.
  2. The affiliate or advertiser.
  3. The consumer.

2. Get a Digital Marketing Job:

A lot of companies need digital marketers. Because old methods of marketing don’t work anymore. Ads on TV, Newspapers, Radio, and Magazines are not working. That’s because people are not spending enough time on it. People are using digital devices. They are using mobiles, tablets, and laptops. People are spending time on social media, apps, and websites.

People are using digital devices

Instead of TV, newspapers, and Magazines. So every business that is already having a product or service… Every business that is already making revenue… Now needs to shift its focus to digital marketing. But these are medium to big businesses. And digital marketing is not easy. So they are looking for digital marketing candidates to hire.

They want Paid Ads Experts. They want Social Media Experts. Content Marketing Experts. SEO Experts. And so on…

So if you can learn digital marketing well… Then you can get a good digital marketing job. You can get a job in one of the companies in your own city.

digital marketing job

But you can also do blogging on the side. In fact, you can start blogging right away. Because the blog will give you experience in Digital Marketing. You can show this on your resume as a project that you did.

And you can get a job much easier than other people who applied for the same job. Because this blog proves that you take initiative. This blog proves that you know digital marketing. And in the future, you can also make this blog a full-time income earner, if things go well.

So either way, you should start a blog 🙂

The group selfies are pretty detailed and you can use focus features on the selfie camera as well.
The camera works well even under low-light conditions. Other phones with these specifications don’t do that well in dark.

The selfie screen flash with auto-adjust color temperature didn’t make much improvement to the photo, and the selfie beautification features are the same you see in most similar phones.

Tips to buy the best motor insurance policy

Motor Insurance

India is home to one of the most congested roads in the world. Vehicles are lined up bumper to bumper on roads. Accidents are very common causing damage to colliding vehicles and sometimes people also. In such a scenario it is very important to buy a motor insurance policy to make good of the loss due to the accident. Also, as per Indian law, every vehicle plying on roads should have a valid motor third party insurance.

First, let us try to understand what motor insurance policy is. A motor policy has two sections – Own Damage( OD)and Third Party (TP).

Own Damage (OD)

The premium charged under the Own Damage section covers the damage caused to our own vehicle in an accident or fire. It also covers theft of accessories and theft of the entire vehicle. Loss of motor vehicle due to the earthquake, flood, inundation, malicious damage, fire, lightning are also covered. However, loss due to depreciation, wear and tear and mechanical breakdown of the vehicle is excluded.

Third-Party (TP)

Third-Party is the compulsory section under the Motor Vehicles Act. It covers the loss, damage to any third party vehicle or injury or death of any person caused due to an accident with the insured vehicle. Third-party premium rates are regulated by the Insurance regulatory and development authority (IRDA).

A motor policy in which you pay only TP premium is called liability-only policy. It covers only the TP losses and any damage to your own vehicle is not covered. While the policy in which premium for both OD and TP is paid is called comprehensive or package policy.

Let’s have a look at a few tips which you should keep in mind before buying motor insurance:

1. Add-on Covers

Apart from basic OD and TP cover, many add-on covers are available: You can opt for them wherever required.

Nil depreciation cover

This add-on cover protects the depreciation of the vehicle. In layman terms as the age of the vehicle increases its overall value continues to decrease. For example in the second year value of the vehicle part depreciate as -Metal parts by 5%, all plastic and rubber parts by 50% and fiber parts as 30%. So if this cover has not opted, in the case of an accident, the insurance company will deduct depreciation to arrive at the assessment of the damage. You can opt for this cover by paying an additional premium.

Engine and gearbox protection cover

Cover for damage to vehicle’s engine and gearbox are generally excluded from the scope of basic OD cover. So, you can pay an additional premium for the engine and get the add-on cover.

Return to invoice cover

In this add-on, in the case of a total loss of the vehicle, you get the purchase value of the vehicle and not the depreciated value. But this cover is available to new vehicles only. An additional premium is required to be paid. It is a relatively new add-on in the market.

NCB protection cover

No claim bonus is lost if you lodge an accidental claim in the policy. By paying the additional premium you can protect the NCB, even after claiming the insurance.

2. Personal accident cover for owner-driver

It is not an add-on cover but an optional cover. There is an option to choose a personal accident cover for the registered owner and driver of the vehicle. PA cover for pillion rider is also there in a two-wheeler. This covers the death, permanent partial disablement and permanent total disablement caused as a result of the accident. If you are the owner of a commercial vehicle like Uber or Ola cab then you must choose legal liability for passengers of the vehicle also.

3. Discounts

There are several discounts available to vehicle owners. You can avail these discounts wherever applicable

  1. Most common is the discount on own damage section. You can ask for a discount of up to 50% percent though allowing it is at the discretion of the company.
  2. Voluntary deductible: You can get an additional discount on premium by opting for voluntary excess. It means that in the event of an accident or theft claim you will bear an additional loss, which is equal to the amount of voluntary deductible opted by you.
  3. Anti-theft devices: If an anti-theft device is installed in your car, then you get a discount up to 250/- on OD premium.
  4. Automobile association membership: If you have a membership in the automobile association of India, the insurance companies give a discount for that.
  5. No claim bonus: NCB, as it is commonly known, is a discount that is allowed by the company on renewal of the insurance, if you have not lodged any vehicle claim in the existing policy. There are various slabs. For example, if you have one claim-free year, you are eligible for 20% discount, after 2 claim-free years 25 %, 3 claim-free years 35%, 4 claim-free years 45% and after 5 claim-free years you get a discount of 50% on the OD premium. This is the maximum discount you can avail of. All the above-mentioned discounts apply only to the OD section premium and there is no discount on TP premium which has to be paid in full.

4. Age of the vehicle

If your vehicle is brand new, then you should buy comprehensive package insurance covering basic own damage of the vehicle and add-ons such as depreciation cover, engine and gearbox protection cover, return to invoice cover. If the vehicle is more than 5 years old or an obsolete model then you can go for the restricted cover. For example a compulsory third party cover along with theft only and/or fire only cover. This will cover the loss of the vehicle in the events of theft and fire only. There is no point in going for a comprehensive package policy as an insurance company may impose additional excess/deductible since the vehicle is old and prone to accidents.

5. Nomination

While buying policy make sure that nomination is entered correctly in the policy. In the case of a fatal accident where the registered owner dies, the motor accident claim amount and the personal accident benefit amount is paid to the nominee without any hassle. This sounds bad but it is the most practical thing to do for near and dear ones.

6. Long term policies

If you have purchased a new two-wheeler or a car then you can opt for long term policies. These policies are available for 3 years and 5 years. In long term policies, the third-party premium is locked for 3 years or 5 years as per the period of insurance chosen. You can save a few thousand bucks by opting long term policy as IRDA increases the third-party premium at the beginning of every financial year. So in case of a long term policy, the TP premium is locked at the present rate for 3 or 5 years.

7. Beware of fraudsters

Nowadays frauds have become very common. Beware. If you are buying a policy from an agent, make sure that he is legitimate and always pay premium through cheque in favor of an insurance company. Do not transfer the premium amount in the account of the agent or any other person other than the company. After you have received the policy, check it for the correctness of your and vehicle details. If you find any discrepancy immediately contact the agent or the insurance company’s office and get the details rectified. This way you will have a correct policy.

8. Buy Online

There are many websites where you can compare the price of insurance offered by various companies and choose the one with the lowest price. Policybazaar is one such website. Also, many insurance companies give an additional 10% discount on direct buying through their website and doing the digital transaction.

9. Renewal on time

It is very important that your vehicle is insured at all times. So, it is best that you get your policy renewed before the expiry of the current policy. It will save you a few bucks. If your policy expires and you renew the policy after a gap of a few days, the insurance company will ask you to get your vehicle inspected which is chargeable. The issue of policy will be subject to satisfactory pre-inspection. The company might also impose additional excess or even refuse the insurance if your vehicle has some dents and scratches. So the best to avoid such a situation is to get your policy renewed before the expiry of the current policy.

The best you can do is to maintain your vehicle in a good running condition, get it serviced regularly and drive sensibly on the road wearing helmet and seat-belt as the case may be.

Hope this post is useful to all the vehicle owners. In case of any query please ask in the comment section.
