What You Stand to Save from No GST on Life & Health Insurance plans
For example, a ₹30,000 annual premium previously included ₹5,400 in GST, totaling ₹35,400. From September 22, you’ll pay just ₹30,000 — that’s a straight 18% saving. A big relief for the every policyholder.
This applies to:
-
Life insurance (term life, ULIP, endowment)
-
Health insurance (individual, family floater, senior citizen plans)
-
Renewal of the above from 22nd September 2025
Is 18% Your Entire Benefit?
Not necessarily. While the GST component vanishes, insurers will lose the ability to claim Input Tax Credit (ITC) on expenses like admin, commissions, and rentals. This may lead them to slightly raise base premiums — meaning your real savings might be 10–18%, depending on how insurers respond
However, many insurers—especially in competitive segments like term insurance—are expected to absorb most of the benefit to keep premiums attractive
Should You Wait to Buy or Renew?
-
New buyers will definitely benefit if they start a policy on or after September 22 — that’s when GST gets waived
-
Existing policyholders: Only renew on or after September 22 to avoid paying GST. However, do not delay past your renewal due date, as it may lead to lapses, loss of benefits (like no-claim bonuses), or coverage gaps
Some policyholders shared concerns on social forums — one commenter noted:
“the industry consensus is pay premium on or after 22nd Sep, GST will be NIL even if your policy was due before 22nd,” though “clarification is being sought.” Reddit
What You Should Do
-
Check your renewal dates.
-
If it’s due before Sept 22, renew now to maintain benefits.
-
If it’s on or after Sept 22, wait to enjoy GST-free premiums.
-
-
For new policy purchases, definitely start on or after Sept 22 — you’re looking at near 18% savings.
-
Monitor insurance provider announcements — many insurers have confirmed they will pass on the benefit or minimize premium hikes.
-
Re-evaluate your cover. Lower premiums mean you can potentially increase your sum assured or add riders without raising your total premium.
