Insurance of Loan Principal.
by Prakash Haran on Sep 12, 2006 12:24 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

Most banks these days also provide insurance on home loans against a single premium payment or a regular premium payment. The insurance safegaurds the borrower/heir from repaying the loan in case of any contingencies.Some Insurers also repay the interest which has been paid till date.

This would be useful:

1) Liability insurance is not needed if the property is bought as Investment.

2) The liability insurance, in most cases, gives accidental death cover only. Thus, in a sense, the liability is not fully insured. They also charge you a lot for the same. So don't go for such cover.

3)The better alternative is to go for Term Plan or ULIP (with minimum premium) from some Life Insurance Co.

Cheers!
