    Pro Tip

    • Buy term insurance early - premiums lock at the age you buy.
    • Always disclose health conditions truthfully to avoid claim rejection.
    • Choose coverage till age 60-65, not lifelong term plans.
    • Premium qualifies for Section 80C deduction (max ₹1.5L total).

    What is Term Life Cover?

    Term Life Insurance is the simplest and cheapest form of life insurance. You pay a small annual premium and get a large coverage amount that's paid to your family if you die during the policy term. There's no maturity benefit - if you survive the term, no money is returned. The key is high coverage at low cost. Recommended cover is 10-25x your annual income.

    Formula

    Cover Needed = (Annual Income × Multiplier) + Outstanding Debts − Existing Cover Multiplier varies by age: 20x (under 30), 15x (30-40), 12x (40-50), 8x (50+)

    Frequently Asked Questions

    10-25 times your annual income, depending on age and dependents. A 30-year-old earning ₹12L should have ₹1.5-2 Cr cover. Add outstanding loans on top. Use the Human Life Value (HLV) approach.
