Should I Go For HDFC or Bharti AXA Term Plan?

by Anumeha Singh Insurance Specialist

Term insurances are the best budget options for individuals who are just starting their career. One of the cheapest options that is touted to be better than ULIPs, the term plan usually pays the entire premium amount to the nominee in case the insured party survives. It offers the higher coverage too.

What Is A Term Insurance Plan?

Tem insurance can be explained simply as a coverage for the beneficiary. For example, if you have purchased a term insurance plan for your spouse, then your spouse will be covered under the policy until something unfortunate should happen to you.

Advantages That Are Too Many To Count!

The beneficiary can claim death benefits. It can be in the form of monthly installments or as a lump sum amount. However, the entire policy becomes void if the purchasing party survives the entire term. In such a peculiar case, the policyholder then has the option to extend the policy or let it go completely. As you grow old, the cost of term insurance increases drastically. Therefore, you should pick a plan that suits you the best.

What Are The Benefits?

Multiple insurers in India offer a variety of term plans, which offer the lowest premiums, and tax benefits in case you are looking for any. Choose to pay annually, half yearly or even monthly, flexible term plans can most definitely be accommodated in your investment budget.

How Is It Paid?

Investors always can choose from the entire sum to be insured, the premium payment option, add on protection plan such as covering critical illnesses, et al. and the term of policy which can range from 60-99 years depending on the insurance company.

Why Should You Choose A Term Plan?

Choose from a myriad of options and decide the premium duration and amount as you sign up for a plan that suits your requirement the best. It could be either of the following:

·         Settle off those loans and liabilities. Your family does not need to worry about them anymore.

·         In case an unfortunate accident renders you disabled or if you contract a critical illness, term insurance covers that too with additional plans.

·         In case you are the sole earning member of your family and no longer around to take care of them, your beneficiary can always claim a monthly income such that there are no liabilities that are left unattended.
