Volume : IV, Issue : III, March - 2015

Suman Devi, Dr. Vazir Singh Nehra

 A man engaged in earning his livelihood, has to encounter many risks. Some of the risks are expected and some others 

are quite unexpected. In a civilized society, many systems have been evolved to guard against such risks. Insurance is 

one of the mechanism available at present to avoid loss arising out of such risks. It is a contract between the policyholder 

and the insurance company for compensating the loss caused to the policyholder in consideration of premium from him. Unlike life insurance, 

in health insurance the extent of loss cant be predetermined and it will be estimated according to the circumstances under which the damage 

occurred. So a study on attitude and behaviour of the policyholders towards the mediclaim (health insurance) policy was conducted in ROHTAK 

district.
