Frequently Asked Questions

How does a universal life insurance policy work?
With universal life insurance, the insured pays the premium of their life insurance as well as some additional money to “overfund the policy” and build a cash value. This cash value gains interest overtime and may be borrowed from or used to subsidize the cost of the life insurance policy in the future
Why do I need a term plan?
Assume, you earn an annual income of ₹ 7 Lakh. For your family’s financial well-being, this income should continue even when you are not around. There are a few ways that you can make this happen.
  • A bank a/c saving of ₹ 1 Crore as FD, which will at 7% generate a yearly income of ₹ 7 Lakh for your family.
  • A sizeable investment which might grow to a corpus of ₹ 1 Crore, before your death.
  • If you can’t manage to create a large saving/ investment, then a viable option is a term plan of ₹ 1 Crore. It will pay this amount to your family on your demise. Premiums for a ₹ 1 Crore life cover start at ₹ 490 per month2 only, which is less than half the cost you would pay for dinner with family at a restaurant.
When should I buy a term plan?
The earlier you buy a term plan, the better (and cheaper) it is. With time, the premiums become more expensive. For example, premiums for a 30-year-old, non-smoker male would amount to for a 30-year policy duration. The premium increases to ₹ 1428 p.m. if the policy is bought at age 40. Keep in mind the premiums get fixed at the age you purchase, for the entire policy duration.
Also, with current lifestyles and increasing instances of diseases and illnesses, it may become difficult to get a term plan later, as you grow older.
How to Choose the Best Term Plan?

While selecting a term plan, you need to look for the following and ensure that your family has the best financial protection with the term plan:

Claim settlement record of a life insurance company indicates the ultimate moment of truth for the customer. Claim settlement record can be assessed through a percent number (Claim Settlement Ratio) released by IRDAI (Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority India) every year.

How much life cover do I need?
The life cover you need depends on your current annual income. We recommend that a life cover equivalent to 10-15 times your annual income is sufficient to provide for a safe future for your family.
If budget is a problem, you could go for monthly premium payment option over a yearly commitment. However, it is important to have a sufficient life cover so that your family’s financial security is not compromised.
What is Critical illness benefit ?

If you are ever diagnosed with a critical illness, it can affect you physically, emotionally and financially. The optional benefit of covering 34 Critical Illnesses such as cancer, heart attack and kidney failure for a maximum of 30 years without any change in premium.
