Usually insurance products and plans are considered to be complex. However, amongst all the insurance plans comparing term insurance is simplest.  Essentially, term plans are simplified plain vanilla products offering protection to the family of the insured. This means it only requires a few inputs like your current age, the duration you need protection for and the amount, and some minor details, if these plans are so simple, since these plans are assumed to be simple, People tend to believe that annual premiums required to buy such a protection should be fairly close from most companies. So in order to compare various insurance plans, a person can log onto one of the policy comparison websites like   they provide with large number of   options with premiums varying significantly for the same age, duration and sum assured. Premiums offered by some new companies can almost be 1/3rd of the highest premium. Obviously mortality rates would not vary across companies and their estimates should not be so different if any of them is doing serious business.

 

While it is impossible to know the pricing algorithms of different companies, it’s usually suggested   to follow 2 simple steps.

1.    Shortlist large, well established players because you want these companies to still be in business 30 years down the line. Since some companies belong to large business houses, we can assume that even if they realize that their pricing algorithms were incorrect and are flooded with large claims, they are more likely to continue with their businesses and not choose the bankruptcy path fingers crossed 

2.    Go for the lowest premium from the companies shortlisted. As mentioned earlier, term plan are fairly simple. They pay out sum insured in-case the insured dies during the term of the policy. Other features are not that substantial.so if you find a plan offering same cover for half the amount; you should definitely go for it.

Comparing term insurance can be much convenient with the right use of internet domains. Various comparison sites give a detailed analysis of any term insurance plan. This comparison is not only a knowledge but also helps in understanding the policy terms and conditions in detail. Rather than getting into the words of the insurer, its better one is well aware of policy market by themselves. Comparing term insurance in India is a practice which gained high popularity in modern times. Insurance itself is an idea which started gaining popularity pretty late.
