TERM INSURANCE

 

What is Term Insurance?

Term plan is only high risk cover plan. The premiums for these plans are low because there is no savings factor and if nothing happens to the customer during the policy period there is no maturity benefit.

The insurance company  thoroughly check the income documents and the customer financial worth before issuing the policy.  The customer take this plan normally to give financial covering to their outstanding loan or mortgage in case of any mishappening.

Term insurance is not a saving, but a requisite where there is a pay packet. This has two advantages:

  • Protects your income
  • Protects against your liabilities
