📌 What is a Term Plan?
- It’s a life insurance policy that provides financial protection to your family if you (the insured) pass away during the policy term.
- You pay a fixed premium (monthly/quarterly/yearly) for a chosen period (say 10, 20, 30 years).
- If you die during this period, your nominee (family) receives the sum assured (the cover amount).
- If you survive the term, there is no payout (unless you choose a “return of premium” option, which costs more).
💡 Key Features
- High cover, low premium: For example, a healthy 30-year-old can get a ₹1 crore cover for as little as ₹700–900 per month.
- Flexible tenure: You can choose coverage up to 60, 70, or even 80 years of age.
- Add-ons (Riders): Critical illness cover, accidental death benefit, waiver of premium, etc.
- Tax Benefits:
- Premiums paid qualify for deduction under Section 80C (up to ₹1.5 lakh).
- Payout (death benefit) is tax-free under Section 10(10D).
✅ Why Take a Term Plan?
- To secure your family’s financial future in case of your untimely death.
- To ensure liabilities like home loan, car loan, or children’s education are covered.
- To get large coverage at the lowest cost compared to other insurance products.
