It is said that how long you are going to live is decided by how much you take care of your health. But we all know that life has a bubble reputation, and it can end any time. It is an emotionally difficult time for everyone.But, the major blow that everyone has to bear is the financial cut off, which comes like thunderstorm in lives of the dependents.The family left behind suffers the financial crisis due to instant loss of income source.
For those who are primary earners of the house, it means that after them, the finances for their family will be cut abruptly. In that scenario, often it is seen that the families find themselves stranded under the pile of regular household expenses and the debts taken in form of loans or otherwise. The monetary contribution from secondary earners is missed as well, especially if it is for the payment of premium of an investment or repayment towards a loan.
LIC Term Insurance Plan is the most basic insurance policy that gives a lump sum on death of the policy holder. The premium for this plan is usually small and paid annually. For the investment of a very small annual amount, you can financially secure the future of your family left behind, after you are gone. The policy may cover accidental death, critical or terminal illness.
The best advantage of a term plan is that it allows you to have a stress-free laid-back life, where you don't have to worry constantly about the financial security of your family after your demise. Apart from the mental and emotional relaxation, there are many technical benefits of a term plan as well, the most significant include:
Choose the plan keeping in mind the expected expenses in near or far future, also if you are the only earning member, it's better to get the bigger lump sum. Also you should see how much you can spend on it every year, because if your policy matures before your demise, there is no return in this plan.
There are some plans that cover accidental death as well, so, if you commute or travel a lot, then it getting such a plan is called for. Also, if you don't have a stable health policy, you should consider options that cover critical illness and terminal illness (if any), because these are the real money drainers.
