Why Term Insurance?

Lowest Cost Protection

Term insurance offers the most affordable premiums per rupee of coverage. For example, a ₹1 Crore cover might cost just ₹1,000/month for a healthy 30-year-old.

High Coverage Amounts

Get coverage of ₹1 Crore or more to fully protect your family's needs, unlike traditional plans that offer much lower sums at higher costs.

Complete Financial Protection

The death benefit ensures your family can maintain their lifestyle, pay off debts, and fund future goals even in your absence.

Critical Illness Cover

Optional riders provide lump sum payouts for diagnosis of specified critical illnesses like cancer or heart attack.

Accidental Death Benefit

Additional payout (usually 2x sum assured) if death occurs due to an accident, providing extra security.

Better Than Investment Plans

Term insurance + separate investments typically outperform bundled products like ULIPs with lower costs and better returns.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is term insurance?
Term insurance is a type of life insurance that provides coverage for a specific period or "term". If the policyholder passes away during the term, the death benefit is paid to the beneficiaries. It's pure protection with no investment component.
How much term insurance coverage do I need?
A general rule is to have coverage that's 10-15 times your annual income. Consider your debts, future expenses (like children's education), and existing savings when determining the right amount.
What is the difference between regular and return of premium term plans?
Regular term plans only pay out if you die during the policy term. Return of premium (ROP) plans return all premiums paid if you survive the term, but they cost significantly more than regular term plans.
Can I increase my coverage amount later?
Some term plans offer riders or options to increase coverage at certain life events (marriage, birth of child). Otherwise, you may need to buy additional coverage.
What medical tests are required for term insurance?
It depends on your age, coverage amount, and health history. Basic tests may include blood pressure, blood sugar, cholesterol, and sometimes ECG. Higher coverage amounts typically require more comprehensive testing.
What is term insurance and how does it work?

Term insurance is a pure life cover that provides financial protection to your family in case of your untimely demise during the policy term. If the policyholder passes away during the term, the nominee receives the sum assured. If the policyholder survives the term, no maturity benefit is paid (except in Return of Premium plans).

Why choose term insurance over traditional life insurance?

Term insurance offers significantly higher coverage (10-20x) at much lower premiums compared to traditional endowment or money-back plans. For example, a ₹1 Crore term plan might cost ₹12,000/year, while a traditional plan with same coverage could cost ₹1,00,000/year. The savings can be invested separately for better returns.

What is Return of Premium (ROP) term insurance?

ROP plans return all premiums paid if you survive the policy term. While attractive, these cost 2-3x more than regular term plans. For example, a regular ₹1 Crore plan might cost ₹1,200/month, while an ROP version could cost ₹3,000/month. The extra premium could potentially grow much more if invested separately.

Why is term insurance + mutual funds better than ULIPs?

ULIPs combine insurance and investment but have high charges (up to 3% annually) and limited flexibility. A term plan + separate mutual funds typically offers:

  • Lower costs (term plans are cheaper, MF expense ratios are 0.5-1.5%)
  • Better investment options and control
  • Higher transparency
  • Flexibility to change investments without affecting insurance
