Big cover for a small premium

Buy a Term Life Insurance Plan

A term plan is the simplest way to protect your family's income. Share a few details and a licensed adviser will compare plans and premiums from several insurers for you.

  • Cover of ₹1 crore and above
  • Premium stays fixed for the whole term
  • Optional critical illness and accidental death riders
  • Tax benefit under Section 80C (as per current law)

What to check before you decide

  1. A common rule of thumb is cover of 10–15 times your annual income, plus loans
  2. Choose cover till retirement age, not just a round number
  3. Always disclose smoking and health history honestly
  4. Compare claim settlement ratio, not just the premium
