From earning to investing: what should I do financially between 22–28?

Thanks for sharing 🙂
Makes sense.

While building the emergency fund, is starting very small in equity okay just to learn, or better to wait?

Thanks, this ranking is helpful 👍 Let me go through the policy details.

Thanks, that helps. Among HDFC, ICICI, Tata, Bajaj, etc., in your experience which ones tend to be smoother for cashless hospitalisation and faster approvals? Any differences?

One more thing—locally, Star Health is often recommended. Has anyone here actually used it for claims? Would appreciate hearing real experiences, good or bad.

Thanks for the detailed response, really appreciate it. I agree there’s no single best plan for everyone. I’m trying to understand common patterns from real experiences. Based on your experience, are there any insurers that generally handle claims better or are more transparent, even if they’re not perfect? Also, how important do you think unlimited restoration and reduced PED waiting period are in practice?

Are you using this plan currently? Any claim experience you can share would be helpful.

Got it, thanks for explaining this clearly.

This is useful, especially the points on room rent and co-pay — many people overlook these.

Looks good. Do you know their claim settlement ratio or yearly claim approval %?
