What is Term Insurance?
Term insurance is a life insurance product, which offers financial coverage to the policyholder for a specific ‘term’ or a time period. A term life insurance policy can offer a substantial cover.
In case of death of the insured individual during the policy term, the death benefit is paid by the insurer to the nominee. However, in the event that the tenure of the policy comes to an end within the lifetime of the policyholder, then the latter does not get any money back.
Why you should buy term insurance?
Term insurance is a simple product and is easy to understand. Here are reasons to buy term insurance:
Low premium and attractively large coverThe coverage offered by a term insurance policy can be substantial and the premium for such a cover would be quite affordable. Thus such a product should be at the foundation of one’s financial portfolio as it offers excellent protection.
Financial dependents are protectedThe primary purpose of a term plan is to protect the financial dependents of the policy holder in the case of the latter’s unfortunate demise. The death benefit offered by a term life insurance policy can be substantial and enable financial dependents to manage livelihood related expenses as well as achieve their financial goals. Therefore a term insurance policy would offer tremendous peace of mind to the policyholder as the well-being of the financial dependents would be taken care off even in the former’s absence.
Insure your assetsIn the absence of the primary income earner, financial dependents might be forced to sell assets to arrange for funds to manage daily expenses. For example: financial dependents may either have to sell the house or investment portfolio to arrange for funds. This could have a negative impact on their long term well being. Instead, the death benefit offered by a term insurance plan can provide substantial funds to manage daily expenses or for any other purpose. Thus assets that can provide tremendous value over the long term need not be liquidated.
RidersA term insurance policy can be equipped with multiple riders. These riders are quite useful and can augment a term insurance policy by offering enhanced protection. Some of these riders include accelerated death benefit rider, accidental death benefit, critical illness rider, waiver of premium rider etc. Including these riders may bump your premium slightly but the value that you would get out of them could be tremendous.
Who should buy term insurance?
Term insurance can be purchase by individuals across segments.
1. Young working professionalsMost individuals prefer to purchase term insurance after getting married or later in their career. However, those who have just started working will benefit immensely from purchasing term insurance. Financial dependents of such individuals are likely to be parents or siblings. There are multiple advantages of purchasing term insurance at such an early stage in one’s career. Let us check out some of these benefits:
- The premiums are lower and thus one can avail a substantial amount as coverage.
- The premium is tax-deductible.
- An individual has the option of adding or removing nominees anytime. So if the policyholder marries later, the spouse and the child can be added as nominees.
- Can purchase term insurance online or offline.
Recently married couples can begin their journey of creating a robust financial portfolio by purchasing term insurance policies. Both the spouses may have financial dependents and may also wish to take advantages of the benefits of purchasing term insurance policies as early as possible. Later on, when a child is born, the child can either be the sole or joint beneficiary of the term insurance policy.
3. Those who are about to retire or retired individualsIt might not seem appropriate to purchase a term insurance plan during one’s sunset years as one’s responsibilities are most likely to be fulfilled. However, one may still have financial dependents – for example – a non-working spouse or child. One may also wish to leave behind a substantial inheritance for one’s children or grandchildren. In such cases, one can plan to purchase a term insurance policy.
4. Regular taxpayershere are almost 1.5 crore income taxpayers in the country. Taxpayers are always on the lookout for instruments which can offer attractive tax benefits. Apart from offering protection to one’s financial dependents against any financial challenges, a term insurance plan can also offer tax benefits to policyholders. Under Section 80C, policyholders can avail tax deduction on the term insurance premium paid.
5. Self-employed individualsA substantial part of India’s workforce comprises self-employed individuals. Self-employment can have multiple phases of ups and downs. It takes considerable time to establish one’s business or independent practice. Therefore a self employed individual’s income is likely to be irregular. Hence, one of the foremost concerns that a self employed individual is about the well being of financial dependents. By purchasing a term insurance policy a self-employed professional can ensure that the aspirations of financial dependents are never compromised.
Benefits of term insurance
Here are some benefits of purchasing a term insurance policy
High protection at low premiumsLife insurance policies are accessible to the masses since they provide a large cover at relatively low premiums. The earlier in life you purchase term insurance, the lower the premium.
Add onsDue to unfortunate circumstance, the policyholder may be incapacitated due to an accident or the diagnosis of a critical illness. This would impact the income earning capability of the policyholder. In such cases, the policyholder’s family may find it difficult to manage expenses. To protect oneself against such scenarios, one can consider augmenting the term insurance plan with multiple add-ons or riders. Examples of some of these add-ons include critical illness coverage, accidental disability rider etc. A critical illness cover would provide a lump sum amount which is equivalent to the death benefit if the policyholder is diagnosed with any of the covered critical illnesses. The accidental disability rider will ensure that the policyholder gets paid a regular monthly income which would be a certain percentage of the sum assured for a specified period.
Financial securityThe death of the breadwinner of the family is not only distressing, but it also brings about financial liabilities. Life insurance ensures that daily expenses do not suffer as a result of the insurer’s death. The pay-out resulting from the insurance policy can be received in the form of a lump sum or in the form of instalments to enable the family to cope with their living expenses.
