Policy Term: The minimum policy term is 5 years, with the maximum varying from 25 years to whole life span for equated monthly premium payments. For single premium payment policies, the policy term is 5 to 15 years. People can opt for the term plan period they think works for them. Experts suggest going for a longer period term plan as the
premium amount generally gets locked and the insured party gets to pay the same premium over the tenure of the term plan for the same amount of cover.

Plan Choice: Term insurance provides exibility in terms of choosing the plan on a single life basis or joint life basis. Single life means that the term plan will only provide cover for the life of the insured party who is generally the breadwinner of the family. A joint life term plan, on the other hand, covers the life of both the husband and the wife through a single term plan. Most term insurance plans oer the term plan on a rst claim basis. This means that the term plan pays the sum insured on the expiry of either of the two insured people. There are also other term plans that pay on the death of both the insured persons.

Entry Age: To be eligible for term insurance plans, the minimum age of entry is 18 years, with a maximum age limit of 65 years with optional add on benets. The premium of the term plan increases with age and people who are looking for a term policy for a longer period should opt for the best term insurance plan when they are relatively young. This will ensure they have a locked-in premium amount that does not change much most of these term plans.

Maturity Age: The best term insurance plans are those that oer cover well into the lifetime of the insured. Most term plans oer to cover the insured to up to 65-70 years of age. Term plans that have a higher maturity age may also charge a higher premium rate as they oer a term insurance cover against life risks for a longer tenure. Also, the risks increase with age and this is reected in the premium amount.

Survival Benets: A standard term plan does not have any survival benets. However, the demand from investors has meant that various companies have opted to launch term insurance plans with survival benets. Called Term Return of Premium (TROP) plans, the term plan refunds the premium at the end of the term plan tenure if the insured person survives the period. The TROP plan is becoming popular with people who are looking for savings as well as insurance with their term plan. This term life insurance plan has a higher premium than the standard term plan but has the advantage of assurance that the policyholder will get back the premium he or she paid to the life insurance company for the cover. Investors should read the insurance terms and conditions carefully to ensure they know the amount of money they will get back as survival benets.
