Life Insurance Policy
Life Insurance policy – almost all of us have heard this term and are aware of its importance in life. A Life Insurance provides a financial security (in the form of sum assured) to the family of insured in case of his/her untimely demise or other miss-happenings covered in the insurance contract.
Many people have understood the importance of a Life Insurance policy and that is the reason why this sector has emerged as one of the fastest growing finance segment in India.
Although many of us are aware of the importance of Life Insurance, not everyone knows that there are multiple types of Life Insurance products available in India and each of them comes with a variety of offerings.
Life Insurance policy mainly has two basic types: term life policy and traditional whole life policy. In term life policy the policyholder pays a fixed amount of premium for a specific period whereas, in a whole life policy, the policyholder pays a fixed amount of premium for a specific period and the policy is guaranteed to remain in force for the insured’s entire lifetime.
Term Life Insurance
Term insurance is the simplest form of life insurance plan. Easy to understand and affordable to buy.
A term plan provides death risk cover for a specified period. In case the life assured passes away during the policy period, the life insurance company pays the death benefit to the nominee. It is a pure risk cover plan that offers high coverage at low premiums.
There’s an option to add riders to widen up the coverage.
The death benefit is payable as lump sum, monthly payouts, or a combination of both.
Whole Life Insurance
A whole life insurance policy covers the life assured for whole life time. Unlike, term plans, which are for a specified term.
The sum assured or the coverage is decided at the time of policy purchase and is paid to the nominee at the time of death claim of the life assured along with bonuses if any.
However, if the life assured outlives the whole life time, the insurance company pays the matured endowment coverage to the life insured.
The premiums are higher as compared to term plans. Whole life insurance plans also offer partial withdrawals after completion of premium payment term.
Endowment Plans
Endowment plan is another type of life insurance plan, which is a combination of insurance and saving.
A certain amount is kept for life cover – insurance, while the rest is invested by the life insurance company. In an endowment plan, if the life assured outlives the policy term, the insurance company offers him the maturity benefit. Moreover, endowment plans may offer bonuses periodically, which are paid either on maturity or to the nominee under death claim. On death, the death benefit is payable to the nominee.
Endowment plans are also commonly known as traditional life insurance, although, there is an investment component but the risk is lower than the other investment products and so are the returns.
Unit Linked Plans (ULIPs)
A unit linked plan is a comprehensive combination of insurance and investment. The premium paid towards ULIP is partly used as a risk cover (insurance) and partly is invested in funds. One can invest in different funds offered by the insurance company depending on his risk appetite. The insurance company then invests the accumulated amount in the capital market i.e. in bonds, equities, debts, market funds, or a hybrid funds…
Money Back Life Insurance
Money back plan is a unique type of life insurance policy, wherein a percentage of the sum assured is paid back to the insured on periodic intervals as survival benefit.
Money back plans are also eligible to receive the bonuses declared by the company from time to time. This way, policyholder can meet short-term financial goals.
Child Plan
