Life Insurance planning in India

Life Insurance Planning

In case of Term assurance policy (one type of policy) you can get a large amount of Insurance for next 15-20 years for a very low cost. The insurance claim can be made only in case of death/disability withing the next 15-20 yrs. After that the policy will expire. Though you do not get back any money but also the amount payable is very low compared ot any other policy.

Second useful policy is Whole life Limited payment. This policy is valid for whole life but premium payment may end at the time of your retirement. In this case the Insured amount will be received by your family/nominee after your Death. You can also have add ons in this policy like Disability rider etc. that will allow you to benefit in case of disability.

Other then these 2 schemes, other Life Insurance policies are (Investment + Life Insurance) policies. i.e. part of your premium is used for giving you Insurance and rest of the part is invested in markets (like mutual funds) to give you returns after maturity. By making different combinations Insurance companies create several hundred different confusing schemes.

For employees who earn below 20k per month, i suggest to consider combination schemes.
For employees who earn above 20k per month, i suggest to invest separately in the Life Insurance & Investment schemes. Do not mix them, as in future when your income grow your investment requirements will grow faster but your insurance requirements may not grow. It is easier to close a investment and start new one, combine investment but combining or reviewing Insurance policies is not possible. Also as India is growing new and new investment options are coming to the market and you may like to change your investment planning every few year.For more Detail Visit Avdhoot Investment
