You can take a cover ranging from 5-10 years. In the unfortunate event of death, the nominee would receive the entire sum assured as a lump sum payment.
 

If you survive the entire term, you would be eligible to a refund of premiums depending upon the term of policy. For example, if your policy is for 5 years, you’d be eligible for refund of 50% of the total premiums paid; for 6 years, the refund would be 60%, and so on. Hence, if you’ve taken a policy for 10 years, you’d receive 100% of your premiums back as refund.
