GST (Goods and Services Tax) on health and life insurance in India is a topic that affects many people but isn’t always fully understood. When someone buys a health or life insurance policy, they not only pay for the coverage but also an additional GST charge. This tax is added to the premium, making the overall cost of insurance higher. While GST helps the government collect revenue, it can also make essential insurance products more expensive for individuals and families, impacting their financial planning and access to necessary protection. Understanding how GST affects insurance costs is important for making informed decisions about coverage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
