New Delhi, Sept. 8 -- New Delhi Sep 07 Experts anticipate that the rationalisation of GST on life and health insurance premiums to a nil tax category from 18% will enhance affordability, increase penetration, and stimulate consumption.

The move is also seen as a step towards making healthcare more inclusive and affordable, encouraging wider adoption of insurance products.
