A life insurance policy is a promise you make to your loved ones.
Getting clarity can be easier than you think. It starts with knowing a few key terms that define how your policy works and how it supports your goals.
Key terms to know
Insurance Premium
A premium is the small, regular investment you make to secure your long-term peace of mind. It is the amount of money you pay (monthly, quarterly, or annually) for your life insurance plan. Your premium of life insurance depends on factors such as:
The Life Cover you choose
Frequency of premium payment
The frequency of life insurance premium payments (often called the "Premium Payment Mode") simply refers to how often you pay your insurance bill during the year.
While the total premium for the year is calculated upfront, you can break that amount into smaller, more manageable instalments. For example:
- Annual: You pay the full premium once a year. This is often the most cost-effective option as many insurers offer a discount for yearly payments.
- Half-Yearly: You pay twice a year (every 6 months).
- Quarterly: You pay four times a year (every 3 months).
- Monthly: You pay every month. This is highly popular for salaried individuals as it feels like a standard monthly bill.
Policy Term
The policy term is the number of years you choose to stay insured. Some plans have fixed terms, while others offer flexibility. It defines the duration during which your policy benefits remain active.
Insurance Premium Paying Term
This refers to the number of years you are required to pay premiums. In many policies, the life insurance premium payment term is the same as the policy term, though some plans allow shorter payment durations.
Sum Assured
The Sum Assured is the guaranteed amount payable under the insurance policy when insured events occur in relation to the life assured (the person covered by the policy).
Survival Benefit
Certain policies offer life insurance payouts at pre-defined intervals, provided the insured person survives those periods. These are known as survival benefits.
Maturity Benefit
If you outlive the policy term, the amount you receive at the end of the term is called the maturity benefit.
Life Cover or Death Benefit:
This is the amount paid to the nominee in the event of any unfortunate occurrence during the policy term.
