Life Insurance

Life insurance is a financial contract between an individual and an insurance company, where the insurer promises to pay a lump sum amount (called sum assured) to the nominee in the event of the policyholder’s death or after the maturity of the policy, depending on the type of plan.

It is designed to offer financial security to your loved ones and help them manage daily expenses, debts, and future goals in your absence. Some life insurance plans also offer savings, investment returns, and retirement benefits along with life cover.

Features and Benefits of Life Insurance

Life insurance is not just protection—it’s a smart financial tool for long-term planning. Here are some key benefits:

Financial Security for Your Family

Life insurance ensures your loved ones have financial support to cover daily expenses, education, and future goals if you are no longer there to provide.

Income Replacement

It acts as a replacement for lost income, especially if you are the sole breadwinner. This helps your family maintain their lifestyle.

Wealth Creation & Savings

Certain life insurance plans (like endowment or ULIPs) help you build a corpus over time with maturity benefits, combining protection and investment.

Loan Facility

You can avail loans against your life insurance policy after a specific lock-in period.

Tax Benefits

Premiums paid are eligible for deduction under Section 80C, and maturity/death benefits are tax-free under Section 10(10D) of the Income Tax Act.

Flexible Plans

Choose between term plans, endowment, money-back, or ULIPs depending on your goals—be it pure protection, child education, or retirement planning.
