Life is filled with ups and downs, and no one can escape them. Of course, there's a greater burden on the breadwinner of a family, because any financial crisis that hits them directly impacts other members. But what if the earning member loses their life in an untoward incident? In such a scenario, the dependents are most likely to crumble under pressure, especially if there’s no fallback. That’s exactly why it is critical to invest in a term life insurance policy.
While there are several options available, individuals can opt for a 5-year term insurance plan that offers coverage to the policyholder for a tenure of five years. Such plans cover the life assured for a period of 5 years. This layer of security is only extended if the policyholder ensures regular payment of premium. There are also some 5-year term plans that offer the option to convert the policy to a longer tenure after its expiry.
The working of the 5-year term policy is pretty simple. The policyholder must commit to paying the premium regularly, as per the specified timelines, be it monthly, annually or in the form of single premium. The premium payment mode is chosen by the policyholder from the given options. In case the policyholder dies during the tenure of the policy, the nominees receive the death benefit. There’s no maturity benefit provided to the policyholder if they survive the tenure. However, certain term plans do offer the Return of Premium (ROP) option which allows the policyholder to reap the maturity benefit.
Just like other insurance policies, the 5-year term insurance plan is a great way for policyholders to secure their family, even in their absence. There are also some other benefits the plan offers:
The premium is calculated based on several factors, including the age of the policyholder, annual income, sum assured, medical history, and habits that include smoking, drinking or chewing tobacco. If someone has greater health risk, the premium may be higher accounting for potential consequences in the long run.
Anyone who falls under the bracket of 18-65 years can go for this policy.
Yes. Different service providers offer riders that can offer an added layer of protection on top of the term plan.
You could reach out to your insurance company and let them know your decision in writing. You will need to submit the prescribed form for cancellation after which the insurance company will complete the cancellation process. Alternatively, you can stop paying premiums. After a certain grace period, your coverage also lapses. However, one cannot get any refunds of premium if the policy is cancelled outside the prescribed cooling / free look period.
