Flexible protection plan

One of the primary benefits of a Term Option Plus solution lies in the fact that customers get the flexibility to select the BSA (Basic Sum Assured) and can access the PAB (Payer Accelerator Benefit) of up to 50% of the basic value in case of an emergency as well. On the other hand, policyholders can opt for “Life Stage” or “Top-Up SA” options, allowing periodic increases in life cover based on financial needs.
While a general term insurance plan does offer good coverage, it only sometimes offers desirable returns. But, with an ‘Option Plus’ policy, the customer is entitled to a decent value in the form of the maturity/death benefit. So, if the policyholder survives till the plan matures, the person is entitled to a premium-back benefit. On the other hand, if the person passes away while the plan is still active, the nominee appointed in the policy document is entitled to receive the death benefit.

Note that

  • Referring to the policy document for detailed terms and conditions is essential.
  • Receiving the Payer Accelerator Benefit is subject to the confirmation of a terminal illness diagnosis.

    If you are someone who has bagged a new job, a term insurance policy can be your first step towards financial stability and security. It also means that you and your family can live a decent life in the long term.

    If a person has taken a big step, such as buying a home, loans and mortgages may be some of the financial responsibilities on their shoulders. Selecting a term policy by spending just 0.5% to 1% of the Sum Assured ensures that their family will not have to bear the burden of such loans in case of the policyholder’s death.

    If you are the sole earning member of your family, there is a major financial responsibility on you. Choosing a term insurance policy will also offer you the much-required financial stability and peace of mind.

    Getting married or becoming a parent means you also have to take up more responsibilities for the well-being of people who are dependent on you. That’s why taking a term policy can be an excellent way to ensure long-term financial stability.

    How do we determine the right coverage?

    • One of the easiest ways to determine the right coverage is to ensure that the amount is at least 15 to 20 times more than your current income.
    • You can also determine the right coverage by calculating your Human Life Value (HLV), which is an analysis based on the value of your current earnings after a specific number of years. If you think this value is decent enough to fulfill your family’s needs when you no longer earn, select it as the proper coverage. You can discuss the process with an insurance advisor to know more.
