Is your health insurance actually working for you, or are you just paying premiums? In this episode of Paisa Vaisa, host Anupam Gupta sits down with Mayank Bathwal, CEO of Aditya Birla Health Insurance, to demystify the complex world of Indian health insurance.

The Reality of Claims: Why 15% to 20% of claims are linked to fraud, waste, or abuse, and how this impacts your premium costs.


Reimbursement Red Flags: What a "360-degree investigation" is and why reimbursement cases invite more scrutiny than cashless ones.


The Cashless Advantage: Why cashless settlement is significantly higher in some states but struggles in places like Gujarat and Maharashtra.


Earning Your Premium Back: How you can literally get 100% of your premium back by maintaining a healthy lifestyle and tracking your steps.


Pro-Tips for Claims: The one thing you MUST do yourself when filing an application to ensure your claim never gets rejected.

Don't miss the insights on the future of Health Tech, AI, and how a personal health coach provided by your insurer can help you reverse lifestyle diseases.

Why Your Insurance Claim Might Be Rejected (And How to Ensure 100% Payout) | Paisa Vaisa

This comprehensive episode of the Paisa Vaisa podcast features host Anupam Gupta in an deep-dive conversation with Amit Agarwal, the CEO and co-founder of NoBroker, to decode the complex Indian real estate market for 2026 . We begin by exploring the disruptive journey of NoBroker which started in Bombay back in 2013 to solve the massive problem of fly-by-night brokers and high commission fees that have plagued the property market for decades . Amit explains the critical math behind the rent versus buy dilemma that every Indian professional faces today, highlighting why renting often makes more financial sense because typical residential rental yields are only between two to four percent while home loan interest rates hover around eight percent . The discussion provides a detailed analysis of the Model Tenancy Act which balances the rights of both owners and tenants by capping security deposits at two months and establishing a hierarchy of rent courts for sixty-day dispute resolution . We also address the infamous bachelor tax and societal discrimination where single tenants are often charged a premium despite being high-value renters with more disposable income than traditional families . This video is a masterclass for anyone looking to understand the real estate ecosystem from property appreciation and wealth generation to navigating the strict rental processes of Mumbai versus the more casual documentation found in other major Indian cities

Key Takeaways


The 8% Rule: Buying a home is often financially inefficient in India because rental yields (2-4%) are far lower than home loan interest rates (8%) .


Commercial Potential: Investors can achieve up to 12% rental yield by targeting small commercial shops instead of residential apartments .


Deposit Laws: The Model Tenancy Act aims to stop the "Bangalore trend" of high deposits by capping them at a maximum of 2 months.


Bachelor Advantage: Landlords should stop the "Bachelor Tax" as single tenants often pay more rent and have higher disposable income .


The Amenity Trap: Post-COVID luxury boom has pushed many into paying high maintenance for amenities they rarely use .


Investment Zones: For 2024, Pune offers "great deals" for investors while the NCR market is currently a zone to be "most careful about"

1000 Crore Secret: How NoBroker Makes Money with 0% Commission | Paisa Vaisa 

In this landmark episode of Paisa Vaisa, Anupam Gupta reunites with the leadership team at White Oak Capital—Founder Prashant Khemka and CEO Aashish Somaiya—to dissect the radical transformation of the Indian market over the last three years. As the Nifty has surged from 18,000 to 26,000 and SIP inflows have hit a staggering ₹30,000 crores per month, we explore whether the Indian retail investor has finally matured or if we are simply chasing the latest momentum in gold and silver.

Prashant Khemka provides a rare global perspective, drawing parallels between India’s current economic cycle and the "middle-income traps" that have historically hindered countries like Brazil. He breaks down why a realistic 11% pre-tax return is the "gold standard" for the next two decades and why the "alpha potential" in India remains among the richest in the world for bottom-up investors.

Aashish Somaiya addresses the "dark side" of social media and the rise of finfluencers, explaining why it is the industry's moral duty to speak to the younger generation in relatable terms. Together, they reveal the "Chemistry of Investing"—a framework showing how strategic equity allocation can actually improve risk-adjusted returns without the volatility most investors fear. Whether you are worried about the "exit" of private equity via IPOs or wondering how to stay disciplined when the market goes nowhere, this masterclass provides the roadmap for your 20-year wealth creation journey


TAKEAWAYS 
-Realistic Expectations: Investors should aim for roughly 11% pre-tax returns (9% post-tax) over a 20-year horizon based on GDP growth and inflation .
- The Behavioral Gap: The biggest threat to wealth isn't fund fees; it’s the retail habit of getting in and out of the market at the wrong time.
- Retail Maturity: Despite low recent returns, SIP flows remain strong at ₹30,000 Cr/month, signaling a structural shift in how Indians save.
- Middle-Income Trap: India is currently at an early stage compared to Korea or Taiwan; the risk of a "trap" usually stems from extreme socialist policies .
- IPOs are Vital: IPOs are not just "exits" for VCs; they are a funding mechanism for businesses that eventually create jobs and grow the economy.
- Alpha Potential: India remains one of the richest markets for alpha globally, especially for managers using a bottom-up research approach.
