Term Insurance means a contract wherein the insured is covered for a limited period of time for a fixed payment. After the expiry of the term, there is no coverage or guarantee. Beyond that the customer has to renew the policy to get the benefits or give up the coverage. The best thing about term insurance is that it gives you a good coverage on account of death for a very little premium. It is its affordability and better coverage makes it one of the best investments for your family’s future.

A term insurance is purely a death benefit and hence is a little different from life insurance. While life insurance gives your beneficiary the insured amount on the insured’s death or payback a fixed amount to the insured on the completion of the term. A term insurance doesn’t give you back anything on expiry of the insurance term. Payments are released only on the event of the insured’s death. I case the period is survived the person has to renew the contract. However the premiums in case of term insurance are very low and the amount of coverage are high and hence it attracts most people. It is the affordability factor that works much in favor of most term insurance plans.

While it is not an investment for you own self, it ensures that your family is well provided in an even when you are not there to provide for them. Since the amount of premium is very less it doesn’t even hurt the pocket and ensures that a greater amount of back up in ensured for your family.

Most of the good insurance companies have all information available online. Most details are available and gives you a clear insight on what the policy is and what all it promises to deliver. The best way to choose a policy is to go through all the policies available in the market and analyze then all. Since policies differ from company to company and form plan to plan, it is always advisable to draw a comparison between all.

Mostly the insurance and the premium depend on the clients’ age, health, lifestyle, living condition, working condition and other factors that can impact the age of the client. It can also differ with the company’s policies, the amount of premium you choose to pay or the amount of coverage you wish to take. An ideal plan is however the one that gives you the largest coverage with the least amount as premium.

To ensure that you get the best deal, get all the details from the company before you go ahead with them. Figure can vary in the underwriting process and hence it is best to know then beforehand. Taking the help of genuine brokers is also a good idea. They can help you with the exact figures and give you a better insight on what to expect. Also check out the financial condition of the company providing the insurance plan. They should ideally have a good claim payment history too.

I recommend doing a thorough research to find a suitable term insurance plan from the best insurance companies in India.
