Understanding the difference while you go for shopping a life insurance insurance product is of utmost importance to avoid the future frustation,as there are plenty and plenty of plans available from different players present in the market.viz ICICI Life Insurance,HDFC Standard Life Insurance and moreover there are agents who can force you to buy a different products which may not be according to your suitability and all you have to do nothing but regret in future.
Usually there are two types of policies to insure the lifeTerm plan and money back plan
hence there is need to know what actually is there in these types of plans
Term plan in simple words is the actual life insurance.where you pay the premium for the term specified by you and got no maturity value at the end if you got survived.But what happened when you die is that your nominee receive all the benefit for which you have brought that policy.This is the cheapest form of insurance.For instance if a 25 years old person want to go for it ,he can avail the insurance of 10 lakh rupee by paying just 3500 Rs per annum nearby. It’s main feature is that you can cancel it when you got confident in future about having built up sufficent surplus to cover all your liabilities and your dependents’s future needs.On the other hand Money back plans(including endowment,non endowment and ULIps)are most complicated and mostly missold to benefit either the organisation or agents who used to sell them.Basically these plans are the combination of investment and insurance.that is the reason why the premium for such types of plans are higher.What you got at the end of the term is a part of the premium you used to pay.It’s main drawback is that you end up having very low cover.
Avoid these policies unless you have throughly understand these avilable products and never go for those without doing your homework.
