Understand How Term Life Insurance Sets You Free

  • Adequate Cover: A few demands you will have from a term insurance plan are:

    • Covers your family against the risk of disabilities and life-threatening illnesses as well
    • Helps you determine your life insurance need
    • Can offer to cover the entire amount

Untimely death is not the only risk you should protect against. Life-threatening illnesses like cancer and accidental disabilities can also have a potentially devastating effect on your family’s financial health. Thus, the best term plan should not only protect them from your untimely death but also from critical diseases and accidental effects.

  • Cost That Doesn’t Pinch Your Budget: Term insurance plans can offer adequate financial protection at nominal prices.
    For example, if you are 30 years of age and a smoker your annual income is Rs. 10 Lakh, you can get a term cover of Rs. 1 crore at an annual premium of approximately Rs. 10,000. That comes around Rs. 834 per month. Perhaps, less than your monthly DTH bill.

  • Freedom from Income Worries: Now you can choose monthly income pay outs along with the one-time lump sum payment. Managing a large sum of money is a challenge many struggle with and safely generating regular income from it is an even bigger challenge.

    Of course, you wAould want to avoid leaving your loved one with such challenges if anything untoward happens to you. Therefore, term insurance plans like Canara HSBC Life Insurance iSelect Smart360 Term Plan offer a monthly cash in-flow along with lump-sum payment.

    At the max, you can choose to give 50% of the sum assured as lump-sum while converting the rest into monthly income for the nominee. You can even choose a growing monthly income to take care of the inflation.
  • Freedom from Office Visits & Maze of Paperwork: In the era of e-commerce, it would be ridiculous if you still have to run from pillar to post with a bundle of papers; that too for something as essential as term insurance. Best term insurance plans are now available online.

    You may need to visit the nearest authorised clinic for a health check-up. But that will again, only benefit you as you get a free health check-up. Rest of the documentation happens online, so you can buy the policy from the comfort of your home, especially during this desperate time, when staying at home has become the top priority for us.

  • Claim Settlement as Quick as a Win: Best life insurance providers nowadays leverage technology to offer faster claim settlement so that your family doesn’t have to wait a long time or stress about the claim while grieving.

For example, Canara HSBC Life Insurance offers to settle a term insurance death claim within 24 hours if it is below Rs. 1 crore. Otherwise, claims larger than Rs. 1 crore may take up to 5 working days. 

This is quite an improvement from the usual 30 to 90 days claim settlement period.

  • Freedom from Taxes: The premium you pay for your term insurance cover reduces your tax liability under section 80C. Any payments your family may receive from the life insurance policy after claim is also tax free under section 10(10D).

  • Freedom from Premium Payment: You can think of two types of freedoms from premium payments:
    • You don’t have to pay more than one premium
    • Premiums are paid automatically without you having to look into it.

A good term plan should offer both options. If you don’t want to bother about paying premiums for many years, you should have the option of a one-time payment. However, if you are salaried you can also choose to autopay the nominal premium amount from your account every month.

Compare Term Plans Before Buying

As you can see, buying a term plan is not enough, since there are many other features to make your family’s life easier. It is always good to compare term plans and make sure you can have the most freedom at the end of it.
