IDBI Federal Termsurance- Increasing Term Plan

Objective

This is an increasing term plan that aims to match the insurance cover with improvement in standard of living.

What does it do?

The sum assured increases at 10 per cent annually to minimize the impact of rising inflation and higher cost of living. The nominee receives the increased sum assured as death benefit on death of the insured.
Single and limited premium policies can be surrendered after payment of all the premiums. The surrender value, however, is not guaranteed and may change as per IRDA guidelines in future.

Pros

The policy offers flexible premium payment options for policyholder's convenience. It offers premium discounts for women and high sum assured policies.
Policyholders are allowed to surrender the policy in event of an emergency.
Premiums paid towards this policy qualify for taxation benefits.

Cons

Premiums are higher as compared to plain term insurance plans.
Surrender value is subject to change as per IRDA guidelines.

Suited for

Such plans are more suitable for those who expect their responsibilities to rise in future.

Our View

The plan fights inflation but charges higher premiums as compared to level term plans. Before going for such plans evaluate your needs and go through the policy conditions and costs thoroughly.
