Term Insurance vs Life Insurance India — 50 FAQs

Neeche diye gaye sab sawaalon ke jawab hain. Aur sawaal ho to WhatsApp karo — +91 98332 16954

Term Insurance: pure protection. Fixed tenure (20-40 years). Death hone pe nominee ko sum assured milta hai. No maturity benefit. Most affordable option. Life Insurance (Traditional): protection + savings/investment. Maturity benefit milta hai. Much higher premium.
Term = pure risk cover. Koi investment component nahi. Insurance company sirf mortality risk cover karti hai. Simple structure = low cost. ₹1Cr cover = ₹8,000-15,000/year possible.
Endowment: life cover + policy-defined maturity benefit (per terms). Premium high, returns low (4-6%). Experts generally recommend: term + mutual fund better hai endowment se. Returns: FD bhi beat karta hai.
ULIP: Unit Linked Insurance Plan = insurance + market investment. Charges high (5+ years mein reasonable hote hain). Transparency issue. Experts: term + separate mutual fund investment = better outcome.
Rule of thumb: annual income × 10-15 times. Loans + liabilities add karo. Family expenses + children's education factor karo. ₹50L-₹2Cr most Indian families ke liye appropriate.
By design — pure protection product hai. Premium sasta isliye ki koi return nahi. 'Return of Premium' (TROP) term plans available hain — maturity pe premium wapas milta hai — but costlier.
TROP = 1.5-2x premium of pure term. Pure term + difference invest karo (mutual fund) — mathematically better outcome. TROP emotional comfort deta hai — financially not optimal.
Whole Life: 99/100 years tak coverage. Contractual death benefit (per policy terms). Very high premium. Used for estate planning, HNI segments. Regular salaried/business class ke liye over-engineered.
Popular riders: Accidental Death Benefit, Critical Illness Rider, Waiver of Premium (disability pe), Child Support Benefit. Riders add-on cost pe milte hain. Evaluate need-basis pe lein.
Haan! 30 saal mein lena best hai — premium sabse kam hoga. Har saal delay = higher premium. Health issues baad mein policy mushkil. Early = cheap + easy approval.
Common reasons: non-disclosure of health issues, policy lapse (premium not paid), suicide (within 1-3 years exclusion), fraud. Full disclosure on application = claim secure.
Primary: spouse + children. Secondary (contingent): parents/siblings. Minor nominee = appointee add karo. Review nominee every 5 years ya major life event pe.
Haan! IRDAI regulated companies pe. Claim settlement ratio check karo (should be 95%+). Online = cheaper (no agent commission). Reputed insurer = claim safety.
Usually 45+ age, high sum assured (₹50L+), or health conditions pe mandatory. Young + healthy + small sum assured: sometimes no medical. Online declaration based.
Example: ₹1Cr cover. Term (30yr, 35yo male): ₹12,000-18,000/year. Traditional endowment: ₹50,000-1,00,000+/year. Difference = invest in mutual funds = wealth creation.
Premium: Section 80C (upto ₹1.5L). Death claim: Section 10(10D) — completely tax-free. Rider premiums: additional deduction. Best tax-efficient life protection.
Haan — NRI term insurance: valid for most countries. Premium India mein pay karo. Policy India mein registered. Claim abroad bhi process hota hai.
Two lives covered (usually spouses) in one policy. First claim on first death. Generally individual policies better — flexibility aur claim clarity ke liye.
Existing policy mein premium fixed (level term). New policy khareedne pe age se premium higher. Isliye jab young ho tab lock karo — same premium 30-40 years.
Group: employer provides, cheaper, coverage ends with job. Individual: permanent, your control, claim assured. Both valuable — individual as base, group as supplement.
Depends on condition severity. Diabetes, BP: premium loading (higher premium). Critical conditions: exclusion clause ya rejection. Disclose everything — concealment = claim risk.
Smokers: 30-50% higher premium. Honest disclosure karo — smoking detect hone pe claim reject. Non-smoker ho aur smoking chod di ho → non-smoker declaration possible after 12 months.
Haan! Home loan pe lender term policy assign karte hain (mortgage reducing term insurance). MRTA: reduces as loan reduces. Standard term: lump sum to nominee.
Increasing term plan: sum assured increases yearly (typically 5-10%). Income growth ke saath coverage grow karti hai. Premium initially higher but inflation protection.
Regular: annual/semi-annual/quarterly/monthly. Limited pay: 10-15 years premium, 30 year cover. Single pay: one-time premium. Limited pay = convenience, slightly higher total.
30-day free-look period: full refund. After free-look: no refund (unlike endowment). Lapse hone pe: 2 years ke baad revival possible (medical + back premium). Cancel karna advisable nahi.
Increasing term plan. Revisit coverage every 5 years. Milestone events pe top-up (marriage, child, home loan). Separate investment se wealth build karo.
CSR = claims settled / claims received × 100%. 95%+ = good. IRDAI published annually. Higher CSR = better reliability. Insurer choose karte waqt CSR dekho.
Within 2 years: back premium + interest pay karo. After 2 years: medical test + back premium. Revival better than new policy (no fresh underwriting for young policy).
Free consultation: aapke income, dependents, goals ke hisaab se sahi cover suggest karte hain. Zero commission bias nahi — genuinely best option batate hain. WhatsApp karo.
Strongly recommended! CI rider: heart attack, cancer, stroke — lump sum milti hai diagnosis pe. Medical treatment cost cover hoti hai. Separate health insurance supplement karta hai.
Standard exclusions: suicide (1st year), adventure sports (without rider), war/terrorism, drug abuse, undisclosed pre-existing conditions. Policy document mein clearly padho.
Single income: primary earner ka high cover mandatory. Dual income: both partners ka term plan. Stay-at-home spouse: smaller cover for childcare/household cost replacement.
Nahi! Term = pure protection. Investment ke liye: mutual fund, PPF, NPS alag. Combo products (ULIP, endowment) = expensive + diluted returns. Keep insurance + investment separate.
Online: 15-20% cheaper, same coverage, IRDAI regulated. Offline: agent support, physical assistance. Claim settlement same both mein. Online generally recommended.
Haan! Multiple policies from different insurers — cumulative sum assured. Each claim independently settled. Income pe proportionate maintain karo.
Waiver of Premium rider: disability pe future premiums maaf ho jaate hain — policy active rehti hai. Highly recommended especially for sole earners.
Haan — NRE/NRO account se premium pay possible. FEMA compliant. Policy India mein rahti hai.
No! Section 10(10D) — death claim completely tax-free. Nominee ko poora amount milta hai — no TDS, no income tax. Major benefit over investment options.
Every 5 years. Major life events: marriage, child born, home loan, salary doubling. Insurance need calculate karo fresh. Rider additions consider karo.
Haan! Household contribution ka economic value hota hai (childcare, cooking, management = ₹5-10L+ cost to replace). ₹25-50L basic cover recommended.
Standard term plans: death due to pandemic covered (natural death). COVID se death = claim valid in most policies. Exclusions: suicide, pre-existing non-disclosure.
Term plan mein surrender value nahi hoti (unlike endowment). Policy cancel = zero return. Lapse mat hone do — revival better than fresh policy.
Historically: term + mutual fund wins by 3-5x at maturity. Example: ₹30K/year → Endowment: ₹10-12L in 20 years vs Term (₹8K) + MF (₹22K): ₹25-40L+ in 20 years.
Haan — 18% GST on term insurance premium. 4.5% on first year, 2.25% subsequent years (for traditional). Online calculators GST include karte hain quoted premium mein.
High risk profession (construction, transport, mining), frequent travel. Accidental death = 2x sum assured typical with rider. Affordable add-on.
Financial experts: 10-15 years income. Loan liabilities add karo. Children education cost add karo. Net of existing assets. ₹1Cr minimum for ₹7L+ income families.
Term, health, business, vehicle, critical illness — sabhi categories mein free guidance. IRDAI regulated insurers ke through. Zero agent pressure. WhatsApp karo.
