Term insurance is for a set period of time, for example, 30 years, 40 years, or as you may choose. You pay a certain premium for a fixed sum insured for the entire tenure of the plan. If you expire in the midst of an ongoing policy then your family gets to claim the sum insured. However, if you survive, you
do not get any return. Although zero returns in case of survival might sound like a turn-off there is more a term plan offers that meets the eye.
In comparison to all other types of life insurance, a term plan has one of the lowest premiums in the market. All your premium payments are eligible for a tax deduction while the sum insured is non-taxable.
Term insurance also offers you the flexibility to choose the tenure of policy as well as the amount. The premium is calculated depending upon various factors such as your age, health, liabilities, etc. However, it is best to buy a policy as early as possible. The more you grow older, the higher the premiums go.
