Life insurance types

Term Insurance
This type of life insurance policy is a contract between the insured and the life insurance company to pay the persons/s he has given entitlement to receive the money, in the case of his/her death, after a certain period of time. These policies can be taken for 5, 10, 15, 20 or 30 years.
Endowment Policy
In an endowment policy, periodic premiums are received by the insured person and a lump sum is received either on the death of the insured or once the policy period expires.
Money Back Life Insurance Policy
This policy offers the payment of partial survival benefits (money back), as is determined in the insurance contract, while the insured is still alive. In case the insured dies during the period of the policy, the beneficiary gets the full sum insured without the deduction of the money back amount given so far.
Group Life Insurance
This is when a group of people have been named under a single life insurance policy. It is popular for an employer or a company to add employees under the same policy. Each member of the group has a certificate as legal evidence of insurance.
Unit Linked Insurance Plan
ULIPs (Unit Linked Insurance Plan) offer the insured the double benefit of protection from risk and investment opportunities. ULIPs are linked to the market where the insured’s money is invested to help earn additional monetary benefits.
