Life Insurance

Life insurance is a financial cover that will protect our family i.e. financial dependent in the event of death. Think of your family position during your absence , how they will struggle for financial position and even for living daily life.

Types of Life Insurance

  • Endowment plan – Covering life and giving lumpsum on maturity
  • Money Back plan – Covering life and getting money at regular intervals instead of lumpsum
  • ULIPS Plan – Life cover and investment
  • Term Plan – Only life cover

Caution: Don’t ever go for Endowment ,Money back and ULIPs plan. My recommendation is only Term Insurance.. Continue to read to get clarification on this.

ULIPS Plan20300005 LacBest on fund selection for investmentMinimum 5 years30
Term Insurance PlanNo restriction can be up to 80 yrs of Age120001 CroreNilCan stop at anytime30

If you see above table clearly the term insurance is best option , let me explain

  • Less Premium – With less premium you can cover more amount for 1 crore cover need to spend around 10k at the age of 30.
  • Real cover – For other plans we need to pay nearly 30 k for 5 lac cover, but for term policy you need much less to cover even for 1 crore. Tomorrow in our absence 5 lac won’t help one year also for our family to live the same standard of life where you left, but surely 1 crore will help them to survive with out reducing their standards even if they will keep this amount bank FD.
  • Formula: Monthly expense * 10 is the better way to cover your life .

Instead paying more premium and less cover , go for term insurance and remaining amount say for example 18k you can invest in mutual fund if you don’t have the knowledge invest in index funds.

This will cover 1 crore in 10-12 k and you will get returns of approx 15L as returns with 12% it may be more than that for the amount of 1500 as SIP or 18K yearly.

Others Plans – 30k – 5L cover or 10 Lac returns.

Term Plans – 12 k – 1 crore cover and SIP of 18k/year – 15Lac return.

Insurance company won’t get benefit from term plan much so they won’t sell this plan , but this is the most beneficial life insurance plan for a person. If you calculate returns of other plan it won’t even 3% per Annum.

Think wisely and divide insurance and investment as separate thing other wise we will be in big loss in long-term. Nowadays you can opt for term insurance form online itself with less paperwork,
