Term Plans


Why do I need Term Plans?

Term Plans help you shield your family from uncertainties in life due to financial losses in terms of loss of income that may dawn upon them incase of your untimely demise or critical illness. Securing the future of one's family is one of the most important goals of life. Term Plans go a long way in ensuring your family's financial independence in the event of your unfortunate demise or critical illness. They are all the more important if you are the chief wage earner in your family. No matter how much you have saved or invested over the years, sudden eventualities, such as death or critical illness, always tend to affect your family financially apart from the huge emotional loss.

For instance, consider the example of Amit who is a healthy 25 year old guy with a income of Rs. 1,00,000/- per annum. Let's assume his income increases at a rate of 10% per annum, while the inflation rate is around 4%; this is how his income chart will look like, until he retires at the age of 60 years. At 50 years of age, Amit's real income would have been around Rs. 10,00,000/- per annum. However, in case of Amit's unfortunate demise at an early age of 42 years, the loss of income to his family would be nearly Rs. 5,00,000/- per annum.

HDFC Life Term Plans

However, with a Protection Plan, a mere sum of Rs. 2,280/- annually (exclusive of service tax & educational cess) can help Amit provide a financial cushion of up to Rs. 10,00,000/- for his family over a period of 25 years.

Why HDFC Standard Life?

Why HDFC Standard Life?

HDFC Standard Life believes that establishing a strong and ethical foundation is an essential prerequisite for long-term sustainable growth. To ensure this, we have concentrated our focus on expansion of branch network, organising an efficient and well trained sales force, and setting up appropriate systems and processes with optimum use of technology. As all these areas form the basic infrastructure for establishing the highest possible customer service standards.

Our core values are drilled down to all levels of employees, as these are inviolable. We continue to promote high integrity in business practices and shun short cuts and unethical practices, as we wish to be perceived as an institution with high moral standing. Since our inception in 2000, when the Indian insurance space was opened for private participation, we have consistently focused on setting benchmarks in all aspect on insurance business. Being the first private player to be registered with the IRDA and the first to issue a policy on December 12, 2000, our differentiators are:

Strong Promoters

HDFC Standard Life is a strong, financially secure business supported by two strong and secure promoters – HDFC Limited and Standard Life. HDFC Limited excellent brand strength emerges from its unrelenting focus on corporate governance, high standards of ethics and clarity of vision. Standard Life is a strong, financially secure business and a market leader in the UK Life & Pensions sector.

Preferred and Trusted Brand

Our brand has managed to set a new standard in the Indian life insurance communication space. We were the first private life insurer to break the ice using the idea of self-respect instead of ‘death’ to convey our brand proposition (Sar Utha Ke Jiyo). Today, we are one of the few brands that customers recognize, like and prefer to do business. Moreover, our brand thought, Sar Utha Ke Jiyo, is the most recalled campaign in its category.

Investment Philosophy

We follow a conservative investment management philosophy to ensure that our customer’s money is looked after well. The investment policies and actions are regularly monitored by a formal Investment Committee comprising non-executive directors and the Principal Officer & Executive Director.

As a life insurance company, we understand that customers have invested their savings with us for the long term, with specific objectives in mind. Thus, our investment focus is based on the primary objective of protecting and generating good, consistent, and stable investment returns to match the investor’s long-term objective and return expectations, irrespective of the market condition.

Need-Based Selling Approach

Despite the criticality of life insurance, sales in the industry have been characterized by over reliance on tax benefits and limited advice-based selling. Our eight-step structured sales process ‘Disha’ however, helps customers understand their latent needs at the first instance itself without focusing on product features or tax benefits. Need-based selling process, 'Disha', the first of its kinds in the industry, looks at the whole financial picture. Customers see a plan not piecemeal product selling.

Risk Control Framework

HDFC Standard Life has fully implemented a risk control framework to ensure that all types of risks (not just financial) are identified and measured. These are regularly reported to the board and this ensures that the company management and board members are fully aware of any risks and the actions taken to ensure they are mitigated

Focus on Training

Training is an integral part of our business strategy. Almost all employees have undergone training to enhance their technical skills or the softer behavioural skills to be able to deliver the service standards that our company has set for itself. Besides the mandatory training that Financial Consultants have to undergo prior to being licensed, we have developed and implemented various training modules covering various aspects including product knowledge, selling skills, objection handling skills and so on.

Focus on Long-Term Value

HDFC Standard Life do not focus in the business of ramping up the topline only, but to create long-term value for policyholders, shareholders, and partners. Today, we are extremely satisfied with the base that we have created for the long-term success of this company.

Transparent Dealing

We are one of the few companies whose product details, pricing, clauses are clearly communicated to help customers take the right decision.

Strict Compliance with Regulations

We have initiated and implemented many new processes, some of which were found useful by the IRDA and later made mandatory for the entire industry.The agents who successfully completed this training only, were authorized by the company to sell ULIPs. This has now been made compulsory by IRDA for all insurance companies under the new Unit Linked Guidelines.

HDFC Standard Life’s wide and diversified product portfolio help individuals meet their various needs, be it:

  • Protection: Need for a sound income protection in case of your unfortunate demise
  • Investment: Need to ensure long-term real growth of your money
