Moreover, there is a renewal window of 7-30 days beyond the policy tenure to allow policyholders a grace period to renew the plan and to protect the continuity benefits such as the waiting period and NCB or No Claim Bonus.

Here, you may also note that for every claim-free year, Star Health insurance policyholders can avail of an NCB of 50% on the sum insured, which can go up to a maximum of 100%.
