Retirement Plan - Plan your retirement and retire gracefully Let’s dive deeper to know each plan in detail. 1. Term Life Insurance Term insurance is the simplest form of life insurance plan. Easy to understand and affordable to buy. A term plan provides death risk cover for a specified period. In case the life assured passes away during the policy period, the life insurance company pays the death benefit to the nominee. It is a pure risk cover plan that offers high coverage at low premiums. There’s an option to add riders to widen up the coverage. The death benefit is payable as lump sum, monthly payouts, or a combination of both. There’s no payout if the life assured outlives the policy term. However, these days there are companies offering Term Plans with Return of Premiums (TROPS), where insurance companies payback all the paid premium amount in case the life assured outlives the term period. But, such plans are costlier than the vanilla term insurance plan. Example: An individual non-smoker male who is looking for a term life plan of Rs.1 crore cover, will cost him approximately Rs.6, 800 to Rs.10, 500 per year. AGE TERM SUM ASSURED ANNUAL PREMIUM RANGE 25 years 40 years Rs.1Crore Rs.6,800 – Rs.10,500 ➢ Best known for: High sum assured (coverage) at a low premium. ➢ Benefit of Term Plan: In case of an untimely death of the breadwinner, family is supported with an enormous amount of money – sum assured, which helps them to replace the loss of the income caused due to the breadwinner’s death. Moreover, the money could be utilized to pay off loan, monthly household expenses, child’s education, child’s marriage, etc. 2.

EndowmentPlans Endowment plan is another type of life insurance plan, which is a combination of insurance and saving. A certain amount is kept for life cover – insurance, while the rest is invested by the life insurance company. In an endowment plan, if the life assured outlives the policy term, the insurance company offers him the maturity benefit. Moreover, Endowment Plans may offer bonuses periodically, which are paid either on maturity or to the nominee under death claim. On death, the death benefit is payable to the nominee. Endowment plans are also commonly known as traditional life insurance, although, there is an investment component but the risk is lower than the other investment products and so are the returns. Example: TERM SUM ASSURED ANNUAL PREMIUM RANGE BONUS 30 years Rs.10 lakh Rs.20,000 – Rs.25,000 Depending on the Bonus at the time of maturity. ➢ Best known for: Long-term saving option for people with much lower risk appetite for investment. ➢ Benefit of Endowment Plan: Long-term financial planning and an opportunity to earn returns on maturity. 4.
