A frequent misconception about life insurance is that the products are expensive. However, the fact is that term insurance has the unmatched advantage of being the most affordable form of life insurance. The low premiums allow you to get extensive coverage at reasonable premium amounts. If you are wondering how term plans are so inexpensive, here is a brief explanation of how such plans work. The associated benefits that further increase your savings with term insurance are also listed here.
Term plans are pure risk protection schemes with no investment component, unlike endowment plans. With endowment insurance, your insurer pays you a lump sum maturity benefit if you survive the policy tenure. This benefit fund accrues over the years as the insurer invests a part of your premium and shares the revenues with you. Another part of the premium covers the cost of your life insurance. A third part goes towards the administrative charges of the insurance company. But a term plan has no return feature, and thus, you do not have to pay any extra amount for investments. Your entire premium, apart from nominal operational fees deductions, covers the cost of your life insurance. Moreover, since the mortality rates of healthy individuals are usually low, the insurance provider’s risk is small as well. The providers pass on the benefit by charging minimal premiums for term plans and making term insurance cheaper than you can imagine.
While deciding the premiums, the insurance company assesses the risk of insuring your life based on factors like your age, gender, health conditions, and lifestyle habits. Your sum assured, policy term, premium payment term and mode, and the chosen payout scheme also determine the premium amount. Among all the parameters, age is a major decisive factor. As you age, the chances of chronic diseases and mortality risk increase, and your term plan becomes costlier. Thus, you can save on your total premium outgo if you buy term plans early in life.
1 . Tax Savings: Premiums you pay towards your term plan are eligible for
deductions up to ₹1.5 lakhs under Section 80C of the Income Tax Act (ITA),1961. Moreover, if you are below the age of 60 and opt for health-related riders with your term insurance, you can avail of deductions up to ₹25000 under Section 80D. Thus, if you fall under the highest tax bracket of 31.2%, you can save close to ₹54600 in taxes.
2 . Perks of buying online: Online term plans usually cost less. Thus buying an e-Term policy can help you save.
3 . Savings on paying premium upfront or annually: If you opt for a single premium or limited-pay term plan, or choose the annual premium payment mode, your premium amount will be lower than the monthly or quarterly payment mode.
