Our verdict
Upstox sells life, auto and health cover as a broker rather than an insurer, which suits people already in its platform who want monthly premiums starting at INR 17. Claims run through mobile app, so the account you buy from is the account you claim in.

Pros and cons
Pros
- Premiums start at INR 17, and monthly payments are available
- Life, auto and health in a single line, per life, auto and health
- Support runs on email, phone and help centre as well as in-app handling
- Health cover is the flagship line, listed at Health cover up to INR 1 crore
Cons
- Claims are listed under mobile app alone, so the claim path runs through the app while support questions go to email, phone and help centre
- As a broker (broker), the policy contract sits with an insurer rather than with Upstox
- Only monthly payments are listed, so there is no annual billing option
Who it suits
- People with an Upstox account who want cover added to it in a single purchase
- Readers who want a low entry premium of INR 17 spread over monthly payments
- Households wanting health cover at the level of Health cover up to INR 1 crore alongside auto and life
Who should look elsewhere
- bunq, where the entry figure reads €0 and the account is euro based rather than Indian
- Euroasia Insurance, for motor cover starting at UZS 60,000
- Good Sam Insurance Agency, whose list of auto, home and renters reaches well past the three types sold here

Frequently asked questions
Is Upstox an insurer or a broker?+
Upstox is a broker, not an insurer (broker), so the policies are underwritten by other companies and arranged through the app. The line covers life, auto and health in a single place, and the account is run by RKSV Securities India Private Limited.
What does cover cost here?+
The entry figure is INR 17, which puts Upstox at 22 of 252 brands ranked on starting premium. The site median for starting premiums is €8.37, so the starting point reads low against the field.
Can I pay monthly?+
Yes, monthly payments are available, and monthly is the only payment model listed. Nothing is billed as a single annual sum, so the commitment stays small between billing periods and can be reviewed as the cover renews.
How do I make a claim?+
Claims are handled in the mobile app. That listing means a claim starts and finishes inside the app, so readers who live in it get a short path while anyone hoping for a separate claim line will not find one listed.
Who regulates the account?+
Upstox holds an IRDAI registration, CA0918, and a SEBI registration, INZ000315837, both in India. The IFSCA also lists it as a global access participant under IFSCA/GAP/BD/2026-27/17, and the group entity is RKSV Securities India Private Limited.
How do I reach support?+
Support runs on email, phone and help centre, so questions go by email, by phone or through the help centre. Claims work differently: mobile app is the listed route, which is worth knowing before a policy is started rather than at claim time.
How much cover do I get?+
Health is the standout line, listed at Health cover up to INR 1 crore. Auto and life are sold alongside it under the same broker arrangement, so the level of cover on each product is set by the insurer behind it rather than by the broker.
Who is the insurance for?+
The mix, life, auto and health, points at Indian households wanting life, auto and health in a single purchase. The entry figure of INR 17 and the monthly model suit readers who would rather start small than commit to a bigger sum.
