What is Term Insurance?

Term insurance is the purest form of life insurance. Pay a small premium; if you die during the term, your family gets a large payout. No maturity benefit.

Why It is Essential

For a 30-year-old, ₹1 crore cover costs only ₹700-1,200/month. Small premium, massive security.

How Much Cover?

Rule of thumb: 10-15 times annual income. Use our HLV Calculator for a personalized estimate.

Common Mistakes

❌ Buying endowment plans for protection ❌ Only ₹5-10 lakh cover ❌ Not disclosing medical history ❌ Delaying purchase
