Life Insurance

Life Insurance

Insurance is a basic form of risk management which provides protection against possible loss to life or physical assets. A person who seeks protection against such loss is termed as insured, and the company that promises to honour the claim, in case such loss is actually incurred by the insured, is termed as Insurer. In order to get the insurance, the insured is required to pay to the insurance company (i.e. the insurer) a certain amount, termed as premium, on a periodical basis (say monthly, quarterly, annually, or even one-time).

Types of Insurance Plans

Life
Life insurance is quite popular, especially in India. It covers the entire life of the policy holder. Apart from that, it also offers a lump sum payment after a pre-determined period; this makes life insurance policy an investment vehicle. Also, a life insurance policy enables tax savings.
Life insurance is especially appropriate for people who may not have savings when they are older, or require to provide for financial dependents.

Term
Unlike life insurance, a term policy covers the policy holder only for a fixed period. Term insurance policy does not offer investment options—there are no returns if the policy holder survives the term of insurance cover. However, term insurance is much cheaper than life insurance. Thus, a term insurance means money is saved which can be invested in any higher return investment plans.

Unit-Linked Insurance Plans (ULIPs)
A unit-linked insurance plan (ULIP) is a systematic investment plan that offers both insurance and investment returns.. Thus, a ULIP policy is an excellent opportunity for the policy holder to optimise his insurance and investment plan at different stages of his life.

Child Insurance
Child-specific insurance policies offer a savings plan for parents. They pay returns that are specifically catered to helping the child when he grows up in terms of paying for their education, marriage, etc.
Child insurance policies are broadly of two types. In one, the child is insured and receives a lump sum amount upon his becoming an adult. In the event of the unfortunate death of the child, the nominee would receive the premium along with interest.
In the other type, the parent is insured. The child gets the returns either upon the death of the parent or upon the maturity of the policy. Parents should consider their financial status and the future needs of their child while opting for child insurance.
