Term Insurance: The Quiet Foundation of Every Financial Plan
Before investing for growth, make sure the people who depend on you are protected. A simple guide to thinking about term cover.
Financial plans are usually built around growth — returns, goals and milestones. But every plan rests on an assumption: that your income will continue. Term insurance protects that assumption.
What term insurance does
A term plan pays a defined sum to your nominees if you pass away during the policy term. There is typically no maturity benefit, which is why the cover per rupee of premium is comparatively high.
Questions worth asking
- Who depends on my income, and for how long?
- What loans or liabilities would my family need to repay?
- Which future goals — education, a home — must stay on track?
Answering these gives a clearer sense of the cover and term you may need. Our Insurance Need Calculator offers an illustrative starting point.
