What is Term Insurance?
Term Insurance is a life insurance plan that provides financial coverage to the beneficiary of the insured person for a defined period of time. In the event of death of term insurance policyholder during policy term, the beneficiary can claim death benefits from the insurance company. The death benefit is payable to the nominee or beneficiary who is usually a family member. You can choose to get a lump-sum amount or a combination of lump-sum and monthly amount as per your requirement. Some Insurance Companies also cover permanent or partial disability wherein the policyholder's regular income is disrupted. Note: In case of survival of the policyholder the coverage at the earlier rate of premiums is not guaranteed after the expiry of the policy. The buyer has to either obtain extended coverage with different payment condition or forgo the coverage entirely.
