Income ₹5 lakh / year
- Cover needed: ₹50–75 lakh
A pure term plan gives your family a large sum if you are not there — at a premium far lower than traditional plans. We compare trusted life insurers and do a free needs analysis for you.
Term vs Traditional
Both are life insurance — but they do very different jobs.

Want money back too? Many term plans offer a Return of Premium option — at a higher premium. We show you both prices side by side.

Riders
Small additions to the premium that add protection where it matters.
An extra sum paid if death is caused by an accident.
A lump sum on diagnosis of a listed critical illness such as cancer or heart attack.
Future premiums are waived if you become disabled or critically ill — the cover continues.
Many plans pay the sum assured early if a terminal illness is diagnosed. Check the plan wording.

FAQ
This is one of the most searched life insurance questions in India — and the answer can save your family lakhs of rupees.
Term Insurance:
• Pure life cover — if you pass away during the policy term, your family gets the full sum assured
• Very low premium — ₹1 crore cover can cost as little as ₹700–₹1,000/month for a 30-year-old
• No maturity benefit — if you survive the term, there is no payout (unless you choose "Return of Premium" option)
• Best for: Income replacement for your family
LIC Endowment / Traditional Plans (like Jeevan Anand, Money Back):
• Combines insurance + savings — you get money back on maturity
• Higher premium for much lower cover (e.g., ₹10 lakh cover for ₹5,000/month)
• Returns are typically lower than FD or mutual funds
• Best for: Disciplined long-term savings with guaranteed returns
Our recommendation: Buy a Term Plan for protection (high cover, low cost) + a separate investment (FD/MF/LIC) for savings. Don't mix insurance with investment.
A simple rule of thumb used by financial advisors: 10–15 times your annual income.
For example:
• Annual income ₹5 lakh → Cover needed: ₹50–75 lakh
• Annual income ₹8 lakh → Cover needed: ₹80 lakh – ₹1.2 crore
• Annual income ₹12 lakh → Cover needed: ₹1.2–1.8 crore
Also factor in:
• Outstanding home loan balance
• Children's education costs (10–15 years)
• Any other debts or liabilities
This ensures your family can maintain their lifestyle, repay all debts, and fund children's education — even if you are no longer there. Call us for a free life insurance needs analysis tailored to your situation.
What happens depends on how many premiums you have already paid:
Term Insurance:
• Most term plans have a 30-day grace period after the due date
• If not paid within the grace period, the policy lapses — no cover, no claim
• You can revive a lapsed term policy within 5 years by paying all unpaid premiums + interest
LIC / Traditional Endowment Plans:
• If premiums paid for less than 3 years — policy lapses and you lose all money paid
• After 3 years — policy acquires a "paid-up value," giving reduced cover even if you stop paying
• Surrender value is available after 3 years (but usually lower than premiums paid)
Never let a life insurance policy lapse. If you're struggling with premiums, call us at 70996 09955 — we can help you explore options like reducing cover, using paid-up value, or switching to a more affordable plan.
Yes! A homemaker's contribution to the family has immense economic value — childcare, household management, and care of elderly parents — and this can be insured.
• Most insurers allow you to take a term plan for a homemaker spouse • The cover amount is typically linked to the earning spouse's income (usually 50–100% of the working spouse's cover) • Premium is often lower for women as female life expectancy is higher
If something were to happen to a homemaker spouse, the family would need to pay for childcare, cooking, and domestic help — easily ₹15,000–₹30,000/month. Life insurance covers this real financial risk. Contact us to explore the right plan.
Depending on your age, the cover amount and your health, the insurer may ask for a medical check-up — usually arranged by the insurer. Always declare existing illnesses and habits like smoking honestly: non-disclosure is the most common reason life claims are rejected.
