Term Life Insurance
Term insurance pays a large lump sum to your family if you pass away during the policy term. It has no investment component — just pure, affordable protection. A healthy 28-year-old can get ₹1 crore of cover for under ₹1,000 per month. Every year you delay, the premium increases because you are statistically higher risk.
How much cover you actually need based on income, liabilities, dependents, and inflation. Which insurers have the strongest claim settlement ratios. Why buying now costs less in both premium and risk than buying later.
Anyone with dependents, a home loan, or financial liabilities. Non-negotiable if you are the primary earner in your household.
