A Term plan is a pure protection plan which helps replace the income earned by the breadwinner in case of his death. It is a fact that the younger you are, cheaper the premiums. For a Rs 1 Cr term insurance cover, the monthly premium will be ~Rs 600 for a 25 year, non smoker male vs ~Rs 1,200 for the same person at age 35. Thus, it makes sense to buy this plan as early in life as possible.

If you are in your 30's or 40's, your liabilities and dependents would have increased (parents & children). You must buy a cover now to make sure all the financial needs are met, even when you are not around.

Even if you have crossed 50 and nearing retirement, you should invest in a term plan. In case of your demise, the pensions will stop and then your spouse and dependent children will be financially vulnerable.

Thus, if protecting your family’s financial future in your absence is your prime concern, you should buy a term plan immediately, regardless of your current age.

Max Life gives you the choice to customize the term plan to suit your needs and choose how the insurance cover amount is paid to the family in the event of your death:

1. Basic Life Cover - Your family gets the money as a one-time lumpsum payout that can help cover immediate liabilities

Temporary life insurance

2. Basic Life Cover + Monthly Income - In addition to the lump sum payout, your family will get a regular, tax-free monthly income for the next ten years. This plan helps the family manage day-to-day household expenses like school fees, groceries etc

3. Basic Life Cover + Increasing Monthly Income - In this option, the monthly income increases by 10% each year which will keep it 'inflation proof'.

If you feel confident that your family is financially savvy and will be able to manage future cash flows, you can opt for basic life cover. Otherwise, it is recommended to go for the income option. If you take into account the 10 year income in addition to the life cover, the effective cost per lac of payout actually comes to be cheaper than the basic life cover

Riders are an afforable and effective option to improve the comprehensiveness of your cover. They can be purchased only at the time of buying the term policy. Therefore it is advisable to carefully choose the riders that meet your requirements.

Max Life offers the following rider options you can choose:

1. Critical illness benefit option - Upon diagnosis of any of the 40 specified critical illnesses, the benefit amount is paid as a one-time lump sum. Cost Rs 308 p.m.* for coverage of Rs 10 Lacs

2. Max Life Waiver of Premium Plus Rider (UIN:104B029V02) - All future premiums waived in case of critical illness/disability. Cost Rs 23 p.m.*
