Technical Answer: The cover cannot start unless the whole premium has been received in advance. (In India this is part of Section 64 VB of Insurance Act) . 

 

Logical Answer: Ideally the premium should be deducted on monthly basis as it often becomes difficult for any customer to pay the entire premium at one go.  In case of any claim, the balance premium can be deducted from the claim amount. In India, (for group mediclaim policy) some companies pay the entire premium amount upfront to the insurance company and later deduct the premium from the employee's salary.
