The Changes in Oriental Happy Family Floater policy’s guidelines result in increase in premium for many families as high as 86%

The revised calculation method announced by Oriental Insurance Co. Ltd. on Nov. 4, 2013 is:
·        If one generation is covered the primary member would be the person of higher age
·        If two generations are covered i.e. husband, wife & children, primary member would be the person of highest age.
·        If three generations are covered by excluding the senior most generations, the highest age member will be the primary insured.
This has affected the premium amount a lot.
Let us see this with example
Let us take an example- Suppose a family of 4 members, husband (35yrs), wife (33 yrs), mother (60yrs), father (62 yrs) was insured for Rs. 6 Lakhs of sum insured. According to the old rate their premium would be 20490 Rs. But, according to the revised rate its premium will be 38200.
