In real life, unexpected expenses are unavoidable. Even when you believe you have financial security; a sudden or unforeseen financial commitment can severely diminish your financial condition. Due to certain emergencies, they may also leave you in debt. Although you cannot plan for every contingency that may arise, life insurance offers some protection against financial loss from unforeseen circumstances.

The company promises to provide financial coverage (Repayment of amount) against unforeseen events for a certain fee (premium).

Guaranteed Income Plan

It takes ongoing initiative and perseverance to meet financial goals in time, no matter what they are. Although needs can be infinite, yet a person's wealth can make or break them. Therefore, an individual needs to maintain financial stability throughout life to ensure that their loved ones are financially secure even after (s)he is no longer around them. To ensure financial stability, companies offer mandatory retirement plans.

The guarantee word being added to regular payouts, these plans become an investment's leverage for risk-averse investors. These plans provide dual benefits, including life insurance and maturity benefits and guaranteed earnings in the form of yearly, monthly, or quarterly payouts decided by the policyholder at the time of purchasing the policy. If you invest in a guaranteed income policy, you take on a risk of getting periodic payouts from the policy at maturity. The amount of payouts depends on your share in the company's sale (i.e., sum assured).

Features:

It is a life insurance plan that will take payments from the beneficiary until the insured person dies.
Provides a vested reversionary option along with a fixed, forward-looking boost at maturity.
Offers retirement and death benefits, as well as payouts.

Policy timeframe can range from 3-30 years.

What Benefits Do You Get from a Guaranteed Insurance Plan?
