A term life insurance plan is a simple yet amongst the most pertinent protection plans every family needs. It has become effortless to buy term insurance through online channels. However, evaluating factors beyond insurance cover and premium cost is important. By considering some key features, let’s understand how to choose the best term insurance plan in India.

Flexible insurance coverage


Every family has different financial needs, and your term life cover should be able to offer customisable options. Before you buy term insurance, be sure to evaluate your expenses, lifestyle needs and existing debt. Use a term plan calculator online to gauge the appropriate insurance cover and get an estimate of what the premium amount may be.

Availability of add-on riders


Additional riders allow you to get comprehensive coverage while mitigating the financial risks of other unexpected events. The critical illness rider, for example, offers a large upfront payout in case you are diagnosed with life-threatening issues such as cancer, kidney failure, bypass surgery, etc., to help with the treatment cost. Similarly, the accidental death benefit rider gives out an additional payout over and above the sum assured, compensating for the financial loss of an earning member.

 


Life-stage coverage


It is advisable to get term life insurance at an early age to cover risk as well lock-in the insurance at affordable premiums. However, over time your needs and priorities will change. Events such as marriage, the birth of children, and building credit-based assets such as a house or your business, are some instances when you will have to revisit your coverage. Before purchasing term insurance, check if the plan allows you to enhance coverage as your responsibilities increase. This would be significantly cheaper than buying a new term insurance plan.

Tailored pay-out options


Unless there are liabilities to be settled, your family may not require a lump sum claim payout. Buying insurance that gives you the flexibility to structure payments monthly or in tranches for life-stage goals minimises the risk of fund mismanagement and ensures your loved ones get timely financial assistance.
