What are Term Insurance Plans?

Term Insurance Plans, also called Term Plans in short, offer the basic protection coverage to individuals. Term plans are the essence of life insurance that gives financial support to the family of the individual in case of premature death of the individual. In technical terms, term plans can be defined as a contract between the insurance company and the person insured wherein the company promises to pay a lump sum amount, called the Sum Assured, if the insured dies during the term of the policy. The term of the policy is the time, in years, for which the plan has been bought by the insured. In exchange of the promise made by the insurer, the insured needs to pay premiums to the company against the chosen coverage for the term of the policy.

Why Term Insurance Plans?

Term Insurance, being the basic insurance plan, is the cheapest plan in the market where by paying a minimal amount of premium one can avail a high coverage for protection purposes. Life is uncertain and everybody faces the risk of untimely death. On the death of a family member, the family suffers both emotional and financial loss. While emotional loss cannot be compensated, the financial loss suffered can be compensated considerably through insurance. Term insurance, at the same time, offers high coverage at lower costs thus making it affordable to have a high coverage. A high coverage ensures that the family is properly taken care of in the absence of the bread-winner without any financial hiccups.
