How does a Term Plan Work?

A term plan works to provide you pure live cover. A term plan is a kind of kind of life insurance doesn’t combine any element of saving or investment. You buy the policy for a specified period of time like 5, 10, 20 or 30 years. If you die within the policy period, your family receives the death benefit. If you outlive the policy, you do not receive any benefit. The policy continues as long as you pay the premiums on time. Failing to do so may lead to the policy being terminated prematurely.

Why buy Term Insurance early?

Your premium is decided on age at which you buy the policy and remains same, throughout your life

Premiums can increase between 4-8% each year after your Birthday

Your policy application could be rejected or premiums increase by 50-100%, if you develop a lifestyle disease

Why are the term plans less expensive than endowment plans?

Unlike a term plan, an endowment plan has a return component. So when you outlive the policy, you receive a lump sum money as the maturity benefit. Now obviously the insurance company doesn’t pay this amount to you out of their own pockets, right? So to build up this fund over the years, they make you pay a higher premium, a part of which in invested and returned as the maturity benefit at the end of the policy period. However since a term plan has no return factor, you do not pay any extra amount to be invested. You just pay the insurance company the mortality charges, which is the fee they levy for covering your life and the administrative charges, which the insurer charges to complete the paperwork, etc. As a result, your term plan becomes much cheaper.

What is death benefit in a term plan?

A term insurance plan is purchased to cover the life of the policyholder. So if he or she happens to die within the policy period, the insurance company would pay out the sum assured to the family members. This is known as the death benefit and is the most important component of a term plan. A term plan is purchased for the death benefit alone.

How does the insurance company deal with the risk factor while selling a term plan?

Since the chances of a healthy person dying suddenly are weak, the insurance company takes upon the low risk and charges a nominal amount as premium. And once the policyholder survives the policy period, the policy terminates. The insurance company however takes a few factors into consideration while assessing the risk factor of an individual policyholder. Among these, the most important factor is age. The policyholder’s premium will greatly depend on his age. So while a 25 year old will only have to pay Rs.3000 annually for a 25 year-cover of Rs.25lacs, a 35 year old person has to pay Rs.5000 for the same. As a result, it is always advisable to buy a term plan as early on in life as possible.

    The company offers specific plans which are available online only. The customer only needs to log into the company’s website, choose the required plan, choose the coverage and provide the details. The premium will be determined using the filled details.
