If you buy health insurance, the premium paid is non taxable so if you fall in 30% bracket then ₹5400 is reduced in income tax. That's what they mean by tax saving.

One can buy Money Back Health Insurance Plan, get deduction of 1 lakh. Save 30k on tax.

Try Ditto for advice on health insurance or term insurance. Loved their #NoSpam attitude.

If I had applied through policybazaar then my phone would have been buzzing all day.
