1. Risk Coverage
In case you pass away, the beneficiary of the policy will get a lump sum amount to secure their future, eliminating the need to be dependent on someone else.

The premiums paid towards insurance can be claimed for income tax deductions under Section 80C of Income Tax Act, 1961. This reduces your taxable income, aiding you to obtain a life cover instead.

The insurance policy companies allow you to get a loan against your policy if you are in need. It has lower interest rates when compared to a personal loan and is much quicker in terms of processing. The option is available on selected policies.

5 . Variety of Policies

Whole life insurance plan covers you throughout your life where you pay the premiums for a stipulated period of time. The corpus is paid out to your family in case of death and does not have a fixed validity. This plan is perfect if you have financial dependents as the death benefit will help secure them.
5. Money Back Policy
Money Back Policy gives you life coverage throughout the policy term and also provides regular payments on survival. The payment made is a percentage of the sum assured which is given during the plan tenure and the rest of the sum assured is paid out on maturity of the policy. In case you pass away during the tenure, the sum assured is paid regardless of the payments made to you before.
6. Annuity Pension Plan
