In today’s day and age, the uncertainties of life and the risk of an untimely death has become more relevant than ever. That being said, the situation becomes much worse for a family, which has to deal with the untimely demise of their breadwinner. The loss of the breadwinner would mean that the grieving family will not only have to deal with the emotional turmoil of losing their beloved, they would also be thrown into a significant financial crisis, with no viable source of income.
As the breadwinner for your family, you cannot depend upon your savings alone to take care of your loved ones in your absence. You must ensure that the family remains secure against life’s uncertainties with a robust financial safety net – in the form of term insurance cover. With an affordable term life insurance plan that promises a significant cover, your grieving family will not have to deal with any financial insecurity. Before we describe how you can purchase the best term insurance plan with excellent insurance coverage for your loved ones, let’s look at various aspects of a term plan.
Once you decide the term insurance policy term and the coverage amount, you can check the premium payable for the desired coverage online. Here the premium payable is calculated based on various factors such as your age, health, lifestyle habits, coverage amount, and coverage tenure. While you can decide to pay the premium either at regular intervals or in one go, you have the flexibility to determine how your family would receive the coverage amount if something happens to you.
Given that term insurance plans (except for the return of premium term plans) essentially do not offer any insurance benefits to the policyholder upon maturity, the premium payable for therm insurance plans is usually lower than other life insurance plans. At the same time, the premium amount increases with age – the earlier you purchase the term insurance cover, the lower premium you will have to pay.
Nowadays, the sheer number of term plans and their variants is enough to confuse an average insurance buyer. Navigating this maze of term insurance policy options, with their varying policy terms, features, benefits, and sum assured amounts can become much easier if you keep the following tips in mind –
The claim settlement ratio of an insurance company indicates the number of insurance claims paid out by the company for every 100 claims received. The higher the CSR is, the more favorable is the insurance company’s chances of settling your insurance claim.
