Premiums so low and Sum Assured So High!!!!!!
by Gopal Balsubramanian on Dec 07, 2007 12:51 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

I still wonder if this is possible. Then why are people still going for expensive Mediclaims, Money back and Endowment Policies ? Am I understanding it correct... For example: A 35 year old paying premium of about 9500/- for the next 15 years (till 50 years) will get a whooping 35 lacs at the end of 50th year and he is still covered for 60 years....????

Term insurance covers only risk but no return on end of the term.

Sir, u will not get back any money if u live. Thiss is a pure risk cover and that money will come only if u die during the policy period

This is term insurance & you won't get anything at the time of maturity. This is a good option if you want to cover risk @ very low price. People generaly mix insurance & investment. Look @ this from pure insurance point of view.

Ever owned a vehicle? You don't get anything from the insurance till you are in an accident. It's that simple.

Got it buddy !... "Sum Assured" is indeed a tricky word. Like Mediclaim for Hospitals, Term Insurance for Death....
