What is a room rent limit?
A cap on your daily room charge — and a trap that can shrink your whole claim, not just the room bill.
What it is
A room rent limit caps the daily hospital room charge the policy will cover, often as a rupee amount or a percentage of the sum insured per day.
The proportionate-deduction trap
If you take a room above the limit, many policies don't just cap the room — they scale down associated charges (doctor fees, procedures) in the same proportion. A small room overage can cut your whole claim.
How to protect yourself
Know your room-rent limit before admission and pick a room within it where you can. If a proportionate deduction was applied, check that it was calculated correctly against the policy wording.
