Shriram Life Term Insurance

Term insurance plans are considered as the most basic form of protection plan and in reality it is the ultimate form of protection against death for the policyholder’s family and loved ones. Term insurance plans provide life cover for a fixed duration of time and in the unfortunate event of the demise of the life assured within the span of cover of the policy, the nominee will receive the death benefit thus ensuring that the policyholder’s family attain financial security and do not have to endure further hardship with financial commitments such as prior loans taken to fall upon them. Most Term insurance plans do however stop providing cover if the life assured survives the policy date. Some policies may provide maturity benefit in the form off returning the premiums paid while some policies do not.
