Edelweiss Tokio Life Income Replacement

 

Objective

This term policy aims to provide regular income in case of unfortunate demise of the breadwinner of the family.

What does it do?

This term plan aims to replace regular income in case of unfortunate demise of the breadwinner of the family. Death benefit is paid as monthly installments for the remaining policy term or minimum of 5 years. At the time of purchasing the policy, the applicant has to decide the monthly income that would be required by the family. The benefit amount increases at 5 per cent every year to take care of rising cost of living. Apart from regular and single premium payment options, the policy also offers a limited premium payment option which allows to pay premiums for a limited term (for example 5 years) and enjoy the insurance cover throughout the policy term (for example 20 years). Surrender is allowed only under single pay and limited pay options and the surrender value will be calculated on the basis of specified formula.

Pros

The policy gives premium discount to high sum assured policies, non-tobacco users and females.
The policy can be surrendered in case of an emergency.
It provides coverage for higher age of up to 70 years.
Premiums paid towards this policy qualify for taxation benefits under Section 80C.

Cons

The policy doesn't offer any riders and half-yearly, quarterly or monthly premium payment modes are also missing.

Suited for

Monthly death benefit payout makes it more apt for a family who may not be able to manage a lump sum amount.

Our View

Loss of life cannot be indemnified but insurance protection can help a family tide over financial difficulty in case the earning member dies.
The premium payment mode can be useful to those unsure of regular income inflow after a few years, or those who fear faltering in paying regular premiums.
The premium payment tenure can also be customized to suit one's wallet. This is a traditional term plan where one needs an agent to assist in buying the policy.
The policyholder must have a separate health insurance cover as there are no riders in this policy.

IDBI Federal Homesurance

Objective

This policy aims to protect your family from the liability of a home loan in the event of your death.

What does it do?

The sum assured under this policy decreases as the outstanding home loan is repaid.
This policy offers loan protection along with terminal illness benefit, i.e. if the insured person is diagnosed with a terminal illness and not expected to survive more than 6 months, the benefit will be paid equivalent to sum assured available after six months, subject to a maximum of Rs 25 lakh.
The policy will expire at the end of first remaining policy year where the sum assured as per policy schedule is greater than or equal to the terminal illness benefit.
Single premium policyholders are allowed to surrender the policy.
This policy also covers increase in home loan amount due to increase in interest rates. On the contrary if the outstanding loan reduces with falling interest rates, the insurance company will pay the higher of outstanding home loan as per policy schedule to the nominee.
If home loan term includes construction period as well, the policy in case of any eventuality during that period, pays full sanctioned loan amount which can be used to repay the partly disbursed home loan and the builder. However, construction period coverage is limited to 3 years and loan term has to be more than 15 years. Policy term will be loan term plus construction term.
It also offers additional riders to widen the coverage. Waiver of premium rider makes sense as all future premiums will be borne by the insurance company in case of total and permanent disability of the life insured. Major diseases benefit becomes must if you have a family history of any of the listed illnesses.

Pros

This decreasing home loan protection cover saves policyholders from paying for the protection that is actually not required.
The plan provides riders for additional protection. Major diseases rider is a comprehensive one covering 17 major diseases.
Single premium policyholders have an option to surrender their policies.
It covers an increase in home loan amount on account of rising interest rates.
Premiusm qualify for taxation benefits.

Suited for

Anyone who is willing to take home loan may go for this plan.

Our View

This is a comprehensive home loan protection plan and suitable for those who want extra protection along with a home loan cover. Terminal illness benefit makes this home loan policy distinct in its category.

ING Term Life Plus

Objective

This term insurance policy offers dual benefit of life cover and return of premiums on survival.

What does it do?

This policy pays sum assured in case of unfortunate demise of the life assured and refunds premium on survival.
On survival, the premiums are returned in two parts:
a) Mid term benefit: If insured person survives half the policy tenure, the insurance company returns 40 per cent of regular premium or 20 per cent of single and limited premium, excluding any extra premiums paid for riders.
b) Maturity benefit: If policyholder outlives the policy term, the insurance company refunds the remaining premium excluding any extra premiums paid for riders.
The policy also offers accidental rider for an added coverage. Policyholder is free to surrender the policy after specific number of policy years that depend on the premium payment mode.
If policyholder does not pay premiums after 3 years under regular premium mode or after 2 policy years under limited premium mode policy, the policy will not lapse but acquire a paid-up value.
This paid-up value is paid to the nominee on death of the policyholder or to the policyholder if he survives to maturity.

Pros

Policyholder is allowed to surrender the policy.
This plan refunds premiums paid to the policyholder.
The policy acquires a paid up value on non-payment of premiums.
It gives premium discount to female applicants.
It offers riders to enhance coverage.
Premiums qualify for taxation benefits.

Cons

Return of premium option comes at a higher cost.

Suited for

This policy is suitable for those who insist on returns from an insurance policy, even though at higher cost.

Our View

Return of premiums option attracts buyers but such policies usually cost much higher than a plain term policy.
A positive feature is that the policy does not lapse if policyholder is not in a state of paying premiums. It continues as a paid up policy, with a reduced value, which assures his family to some extent.
