Aegon Religare Level term Plans

Term insurance is the most inexpensive way to purchase a substantial death benefit on a coverage amount per premium rupies basis. life insurance or term assurance is life insurance which provides coverage at a fixed rate of payments for a limited period of time, the relevant term. After that period expires coverage at the previous rate of premiums is no longer guaranteed and the client must either forgo coverage or potentially obtain further coverage with different payments and/or conditions. If the insured dies during the term, the death benefit will be paid to the beneficiary. Term life insurance is the original form of life insurance and can be contrasted to permanent life insurance such as whole life, universal life, and variable universal life. Unlike permanent life insurance policies guarantee coverage at fixed premiums for the lifetime of the covered individual. Additionally many permanent life insurance products build a predetermined cash value over the life of the contract available for later withdrawal by the client under specific conditions. However on most cash value policies like Whole Life insurance the only way to receive the "savings" is to cash out the policy. The beneficiaries receive the face value of the insurance but NEVER the cash value with Whole Life policies. That is one reason that most experts advise families to buy term insurance
