TERM INSURANCE PLAN

The probability of premature death is quite significant. Life is unpredictable. The family loses its source of revenue if the family’s bread-producer dies suddenly. The family is facing a huge financial dilemma in that lawsuit. Financial security is sought in the savings that the family may not have been able to satisfy all its financial demands. A life insurance policy guarantees that financial security and assists the family to cope with the financial loss if the bread-winner dies early.

WHAT IS A TERM INSURANCE PLAN?

A term insurance policy is a life insurance plan that is a person’s lifetime. Under the policy, a certain duration and amount are selected. If the life insured person dies within the period of the plan, the insurance company pays the insured amount to the family of the dead. This lump sum advantage helps the family manage their financial loss.
