Concepts & FAQ's Life Insurance Plans

bottom-line
What is life insurance?
Life insurance is a contract between an insurance company and the insured whereby the company guarantees payment of an agreed amount (called death benefit) to the named nominee if something untoward happens during the policy period or at the end of the policy, termed as maturity. The insured needs to pay regular premiums to the insurance company for the policy to be valid.
Why is life insurance important?
If you buy life insurance, you are doing it for the financial security of your family, which relies on you, and to get multiple benefits such as tax exemption and planning for your child’s higher education.
How do I process a life insurance claim?
In general, beneficiaries and insured persons can make a life insurance claim in either of the two following cases: (a) if something untoward happens to the person for whom the insurance policy has been taken, and (b) the policy matures. You need to inform the insurer, fill in the relevant forms, and submit the documents requested.
What is premium?
It is the money that the policy buyer pays the insurance company on a regular basis (monthly, twice a year, or annually) in lieu of the guarantee of the death benefit
What if the premium is not paid?
If premium remains unpaid one month after the due date (that is the ‘grace period’), the policy will lapse. In that case you, as the insured, will have wasted all the premiums you have paid in previous years. Additionally, your beneficiary will also not receive a pay out as the policy will be deemed ‘lapsed’.
Can I create wealth from life insurance?
Absolutely! But for that, look for a policy with maturity benefits. Most people are unaware of the additional benefits apart from the death and disability benefits. So, check out the various types of life protection plans.
Does life insurance not cover any particular type of deaths?
Claims of death due to drunken driving, accidents while inebriated, self-inflicted wounds, murder, death in a war or known violent area, dangerous hobbies like skydiving, and death due to sexually-transmitted diseases are not entertained.
