When it comes to securing your family’s financial future, a term life insurance plan is a crucial component. However, standard coverage may not be enough to cater to all your needs. This is where rider benefits come into play. Riders are additional provisions that you can attach to your base term policy to enhance its benefits and provide comprehensive coverage.​

What Are Life Insurance Riders?

Riders are optional add-ons to your term insurance policy that expand its coverage. They come at an additional cost but can significantly improve the overall value of your insurance plan. By integrating riders, you ensure broader protection for yourself and your loved ones during challenging circumstances.

1. Accidental Death Benefit Rider

What it is: This rider provides an additional payout if the insured dies due to an accident.

Given the uncertainty of life, it is good to get as much protection as possible. Policyholders should always aim to maximise their plan coverage. One such effective method to enhance a standard insurance policy is Kotak Accidental Death Benefit Rider. This rider benefit is payable to the nominee in case the life insured dies due to an accidental cause during the term of the accidental death insurance rider. In such a case, the nominee receives the accidental death insurance benefit over and above the basic sum assured in the policy.

2. Critical Illness Rider

What it is: This rider offers a lump sum payment if you are diagnosed with a specified critical illness

Kotak Life’s Critical Illness Rider covers 37 serious illnesses. The lump sum amount can be used for medical treatments, hospitalisation or post-recovery expenses. Including this rider can alleviate some financial strain during a challenging illness, allowing you to focus on getting better rather than worrying about finances.

3. Permanent Disability Rider

What it is: This rider provides financial support in the event of total or permanent disability due to an accident, helping to protect the insured and their family during difficult times

The Kotak Life’s Permanent Disability Rider is an insurance option designed to offer financial support in the event of total or permanent disability due to an accident. This rider provides assistance to both the insured individual and their family, ensuring they have a safety net during challenging times. Generally, the rider pays out a percentage of the sum assured over a period of five years. To qualify for a claim, the disability and the circumstances surrounding it must adhere to the policy’s specific terms and conditions. This rider enhances your insurance coverage by adding an extra layer of protection for unforeseen events.

Why Consider Riders?

Riders can significantly enhance the value of your term plan by providing specialised coverages that align with your unique needs. The additional features serve as a safety net against life’s uncertainties, ensuring that your family is protected from unforeseen circumstances.

  • Best way to get extra coverage without buying a separate policy: Insurance riders can be attached to a standard policy for comprehensive financial coverage against uncertainties.
  • Affordable: Insurance riders are more cost-effective than a separate insurance policy.
  • Flexibility to choose the cover required: Riders in insurance can be added as per the preference and needs of the policyholder. This ensures the policy is customised and cost-effective. Riders can be added to a life insurance plan, term plan, ULIP , etc.
  • Tax benefits as per existing laws:All tax benefits that apply to a life insurance policy are also applicable to any additional rider insurance purchased with the policy.

Conclusion

When evaluating term life insurance plans, don’t overlook the additional benefits that riders can provide. Kotak Life Insurance offers a range of riders that enhance your policy, ensuring you have the coverage necessary to protect your family during life’s uncertainties. By choosing the right riders, you can create a comprehensive insurance solution tailored to your personal and family needs. Tailoring your term plan with appropriate riders not only future-proofs your policy but also provides you with peace of mind, knowing that you are prepared for whatever life throws your way.
