What is a Term Plan?
-
A term plan offers pure protection with no savings or investment component, making it highly affordable. It provides coverage for a specified duration, also known as the ‘term’.
-
In case of your untimely demise during the term, your nominee(s)will receive the ‘death benefit’ – a specified amount paid out as a lump sum or in regular instalments.
-
It provides coverage for a specific period, typically ranging from 10 to 30 years. Once the term expires and you survive, the policy ceases, and there is no payout. There are also Return of Premium plans, which refund the premiums paid when the policy matures
-
Term Plans also include several "riders" or add-on benefits that can enhance the coverage offered by the plan at an additional cost-effective price.
How does Term Insurance work ?
- Coverage amount: You pick a plan considering your lifestyle, financial liabilities, and budget.
- Policy term: You then select a term that aligns with your financial goals and responsibilities.
- Premiums: You pay the premium annually, semi-annually, quarterly, or monthly as per your policy.
- Claim filing: If you pass away during the term, your nominee files a claim with the insurer.
- Claim settlement: The insurer will verify the claim and pay the predetermined death benefit, which is tax-free.
- Policy renewal: Some insurers also allow you to renew the policy at the end of the term.
Who should buy Term Insurance?
Young adults
Even if you does not have dependents yet, you may have education or home loans. Term insurance can ensure the burden of repaying the loan doesn’t fall on your parents.
Married individuals
If you are newly married or plan to start a family soon, a term insurance policy can provide financial security for your spouse and ensure a better future for them.
Breadwinners
If you are the primary earner in your family, a Term Insurance policy can help replace your income and support your loved ones in case of your untimely demise
Parents
If you have young children, a term insurance policy can help secure their education, upbringing, and even marriage if you are no longer there.
Business owners
If you have your own business, you may use term insurance to safeguard your business interests, such as loans, partnerships, or succession planning.
What are the payout options in Term Insurance?
-
Lump sum payout
This is the most common option, where the death benefit is paid out as a single sum to the nominee. It can provide immediate access to funds to cover living expenses, debts, etc.
-
Income payout
The death benefit is paid as a regular income to the nominee over a specified period, such as 10, 20, or 30 years. This option can provide a steady income stream to help dependents maintain their standard of living.
-
Combination payout
A part of the death benefit is paid as a lump sum and the remainder as regular income to the nominee. This option can provide both immediate financial support and a long-term income stream.
-
Increasing payout
The death benefit increases over time to keep pace with inflation. It can help ensure that dependents have the financial resources to cover their expenses, even as the cost of living rises.
What should be the duration of your Term Plan?
Young adult: No dependents but has loans
40-50 years. The term should last at least until the loans are repaid. In case of an unfortunate event, the death benefit should be able to repay the loan.
Newly married: Has a spouse and a baby
25-30 years. The term should last until the child’s education and marriage. Consider your lifestyle, the cost of education, etc., to determine the amount.
Parent: Has a spouse and older children
15-20 years. Your children may only need your support for a little longer but think of any outstanding mortgages you still have to pay.
Empty nester: Has a spouse and grown-up children
10-15 years. With your children independent now, financial security for your spouse is the only obligation left.
What are the key benefits of Term Plans?
Affordable premiums
Term insurance is one of the most affordable types of life insurance. You can get a high coverage amount at a relatively lower premium than policies offering lifelong coverage.
Financial security
Term insurance can provide financial security for your family and dependents in the event of your untimely demise. The death benefit can be used to pay off debts and provide for their living expenses.
Flexibility
It is highly flexible and can be customised to meet your needs and budget. You can choose the term of the policy, the coverage amount, the payout option, and even additional cover with riders.
No investment risk
Term insurance is a pure protection plan and does not involve any hassle or risks associated with investments.
Peace of mind
Term insurance can give you peace of mind, knowing that your loved ones will be financially protected in the event of your untimely demise.
Tax benefits*
Term insurance premiums are eligible for tax deductions under Section 80C of the Income Tax Act, 1961. Additionally, the death benefit paid to your beneficiaries is also tax-free under Section 10(10D)** of the Income Tax Act, 1961
What are the tax benefits* of Term Insurance?
How?
You can claim a tax deduction on the term insurance premiums you pay.
Which plans?
Any term insurance for yourself, your spouse, and your dependent children is eligible.
How much?
You can save up to ₹1,50,000 of your annual taxable income through insurance premiums.
What else?
Even the death benefit paid out to your beneficiaries is entirely tax-free under Section 10(10D)** of the Income Tax Act, 1961.
Do Term Plans offer maturity benefits?
There are no maturity benefits in Term Insurance, as it is a pure protection plan that provides coverage for a specific period. However, Aditya Birla Sun Life Insurance offers maturity benefits through the Return of Premium.
Return of Premium (ROP) is a feature or rider offered with some term Life Insurance policies that offer a refund of the premiums policyholder pays if they outlive the policy term
-

How to choose the best Term Insurance plan?
-
Look at the Claim-Settlement Ratio (CSR)
Claim Settlement Ratio can be defined as the following:
Claim Settlement Ratio = % of claims an insurer has paid in full / total claims received
A higher claim settlement ratio indicates that the company is more likely to pay out your claim if you need to file one. -
Understand the customer experience
Reading customer reviews can help you to identify any potential red flags or issues that customers have faced with the insurance company.

Check Solvency Ratio

Look for a regular income payout of a Term Insurance Plan

FAQs on Term Insurance
A Term Insurance plan offers a financial safety net to your family against day-to-day expenses, loans, liabilities, and EMIs. It can also fulfil future needs, such as your child's higher education, marriage, etc.
Among all the Life Insurance products, Term Life Insurance offers the highest life coverage for the lowest premiums.
It is best to buy Term Insurance early in life. Premiums are lower, and you can get more extended coverage. The ideal age is between 25 and 30, when you will likely have dependents and liabilities. But it's never too late to buy Term Insurance, and people in their 50s can still benefit from its financial security.
The cost of Term Insurance is calculated by looking at different things that tell the insurance company how much of a risk it is to cover a person. The key factors that affect the premiums are:
• Age: Younger people typically have lower premiums than older people because they are less likely to get sick or injured.
• Gender: Women typically pay lower premiums than men because they have a longer life expectancy.
• Medical History: If you have health problems, you will likely have higher premiums. It is because the insurance company is more likely to have to pay a claim for you.
• Lifestyle: Your lifestyle choices, such as smoking, drinking and excess weight, can increase your risk of health problems, which can also affect your premiums.
• Profession: Some professions are considered riskier than others, such as construction, mining, oil exploration, or firefighting. If you have a risky job, you will likely have higher premiums.
• Policy type: The type of policy you choose can also affect your premium. For example, term Life Insurance is typically less expensive than Life Insurance with additional riders.
• Sum insured: The higher the sum insured, the higher your premium.
Term Insurance aims to support your family if you die unexpectedly financially. It covers various types of deaths during the policy period, with the most common ones being:
• Natural death: Death due to illness, disease, or old age.
• Accidental death: Death due to an accident, such as a car accident, drowning, or falling from a height.
• Terminal illness: Death due to a terminal illness, such as cancer, where the policyholder is diagnosed with a disease that is likely to result in death within a specific period.
• Disability: Death due to a disability caused by an accident or illness, where the policyholder is unable to earn a livelihood.
Term Life Insurance policies offer different ways to pay the death benefit to the beneficiary if the policyholder dies. The most common payout options are:
• Lump sum payout: The entire death benefit is paid at once. It is the most common option and gives the beneficiary immediate access to the funds.
• Income payout: The death benefit is paid in regular instalments over a time. This option can be helpful for beneficiaries who need a steady income stream.
• Combination payout: A portion of the death benefit is paid as a lump sum, and the rest is in instalments.
• Increasing payout: The death benefit increases over time to keep up with inflation. It can provide better financial security for the beneficiary in the long term.
