Life is unpredictable, but your family’s financial security shouldn’t be. Term insurance provides high coverage at affordable premiums, ensuring your family’s financial stability even in your absence.
At Hum Fauji Initiatives, we specialize in custom-picked term insurance policies based on their income, lifestyle, future financial goals, and liabilities. Whether you’re a salaried professional or self-employed, we help you secure the best term insurance tailored to your needs.
What is Term Insurance?
Term insurance is a pure risk cover policy that provides financial protection. Unlike traditional life insurance plans, in term insurance, the protection is provided to the nominee in the event of the policyholder’s death during the policy tenure.
The core benefit of term insurance is that it provides a large sum assured at a very low premium compared to other life insurance products. For instance, a 30-year-old non-smoker can get ₹1 crore coverage for as low as ₹15,000 per year.
Why Do You Need Term Insurance?
Many people underestimate the importance of term insurance, believing their savings and investments will suffice. However, life’s uncertainties make financial preparedness a necessity. Here’s why term insurance is a must-have:
Term insurance offers extensive coverage at a fraction of the cost of traditional life insurance plans. Instead of paying lakhs for an investment linked policy, you can secure a ₹1 crore sum assured for just ₹8,000 - ₹20,000 per year, depending on your age and health.
If you are the primary earner, who will take care of your family’s expenses if something happens to you? Term insurance ensures your loved ones don’t suffer financially. The payout can help cover:
- Monthly household expenses
- Loan repayments (home, car, personal loans)
- Children’s education and higher studies
- Meical emergencies and future healthcare costs
You can choose how your nominee receives the payout:
- Lmp Sum – Immediate one-time payment
- Monthly Income – Ensures financial stability over time
- Combination – A mix of both, covering both short-term and long-term needs
You can customize your term plan by adding riders:
- Accidental Death Benefit Rider – Higher payout if death occurs due to an accident.
- Critical Illness Rider – Provides a lump sum if diagnosed with life-threatening illnesses.
- Disability Rider – Ensures income support in case of permanent disability.
- Waiver of Premium Rider – Future premiums are waived if the policyholder becomes critically ill or disabled.
- Premiums Paid – Deductible up to ₹1.5 lakh under Section 80C.
- Death Benefit Payout – Fully tax-free under Section 10(10D).
Who Should Buy Term Insurance?
Serving Armed Forces Officers
AGIF, NGIS, and AFGIS covers often fall short of today’s financial needs – rising aspirations, EMIs, nuclear family responsibilities, and aging parents all demand more. A larger, independent term plan is essential.
Retired Armed Forces Officers
Post-retirement life still involves college-going children, aging parents, and loan EMIs. A term plan taken before retirement ensures continued financial security for the family.
Grown-Up Children in Corporates or Business
Whether salaried or entrepreneurial, they carry financial responsibilities. Early term insurance means low premiums and strong protection for dependents and future goals.
Single Ladies (Widowed / Separated / Single Mothers)
Women managing households independently need a financial shield. A term plan ensures their children and parents remain secure, no matter what life brings.
How to Choose the Right Term Insurance Plan?
Determine Your Ideal Coverage Amount
Your sum assured should ideally be 10-15 times your annual income. Consider the following:
- Existing Debts – Any outstanding home, car, or personal loans.
- Future Family Expenses – Education, marriage, medical needs.
- Current Lifestyle & Inflation – Ensure coverage is sufficient in the long term.
Select the Right Policy Tenure
Your policy term should cover your most financially vulnerable years, typically until retirement (age 60-65).
Compare Premiums & Benefits
Choose a policy that offers high coverage at reasonable premiums.
Check the Claim Settlement Ratio (CSR)
Pick an insurer with a high CSR (above 95%) to ensure smooth claim processing.
