⭐ What is Room Rent Limit? (Simple Definition)
Room Rent Limit ek daily cap hota hai — insurance company kitna room rent maximum per day pay karegi.
Example:
Agar policy me likha hai:
👉 “Room Rent Limit – ₹3,000 per day”
To iska matlab:
Maximum ₹3,000/day room rent company degi
Agar aap ₹5,000 ka room choose karte ho → Proportionate Deduction lag jayega
Iska effect पूरे bill पर padta hai, sirf room rent par nahi
Proportionate Deduction – सबसे बड़ा hidden rule
Agar aap Room Rent Limit se mehenga room lete ho, to PURE bill ka same % aapko confidently pay karna padta hai.
Formula:Payable Amount = (Allowed Room Rent / Actual Room Rent) × Total Bill
📌 Example 1 – Room Rent Limit से ऊपर लेने पर कितना कटेगा?
Policy Room Rent Limit: ₹3,000/day
Actual Room Rent: ₹6,000/day
Hospital Bill: ₹1,00,000
Calculation:
Allowed Ratio = 3000 / 6000 = 0.5
Insurance will pay:
1,00,000 × 0.5 = ₹50,000
You need to pay:
₹50,000 from your pocket.
📌 Example 2 – ICU Room Rent अलग होता है
Most policies:
Room Rent Limit → General room
ICU → No limit / 2x / fixed cap
Example:
Room Rent Limit → ₹4,000
ICU Limit → ₹8,000
Agar aap ₹12,000/day ICU me admit ho gaye → again proportionate deduction.
🛑 Common Items jisme proportionate deduction lagta है:
Nursing charges
Doctor visit charges
Surgery charges
OT charges
Medicine cost
Admission kit
Medical equipment
Sirf consumables (gloves, cotton, syringe) par nahi lagta.
🟢 Example 3 – Full Detailed Breakdown (2025)
Policy Room Limit: ₹3,000
Room Selected: ₹5,000
Ratio: 3000/5000 = 0.6
Hospital Bill:
| Item | Cost | Payable (60%) |
|---|---|---|
| Room Rent | 20,000 | 12,000 |
| Nursing | 10,000 | 6,000 |
| Doctor Visits | 15,000 | 9,000 |
| Surgery | 1,00,000 | 60,000 |
| OT Charges | 40,000 | 24,000 |
| Medicine | 15,000 | 15,000 (No deduction) |
| Consumables | 10,000 | 10,000 (No deduction) |
Total Payable: ₹1,36,000
Total Bill: ₹2,10,000
You Pay: ₹74,000
✔️ Room Rent Limit के 3 Types
1️⃣ Fixed Cap (Worst Type)
Example:
₹3,000/day general room
₹6,000/day ICU
Old or cheap policies me milta hai.
2️⃣ Percentage of Sum Insured (Better)
Example:
1% of SI for room
2% of SI for ICU
If SI = ₹5,00,000
Room Rent Limit = 1% = ₹5,000
ICU Limit = 2% = ₹10,000
2️⃣ Percentage of Sum Insured (Better)
Example:
1% of SI for room
2% of SI for ICU
If SI = ₹5,00,000
Room Rent Limit = 1% = ₹5,000
ICU Limit = 2% = ₹10,000
3️⃣ No Room Rent Limit (Best)
2025 me new-generation plans me ye hota hai.
Proportionate deduction ka risk zero.
⭐ Room Rent Waiver Rider Kya Hai?
Agar policy me capping lagi ho, to aap extra premium dekar room rent limit hata sakte ho.
Cost normally:
🔹 ₹200 – ₹600/year extra
Highly recommended.
