You Don't Know Your Term But For Sure Your Term is Limited
Alright so what is all this about?
Last week was eventful but in un-wish-able way. We wanted to do this blog but not with the way, we are doing. The week that went by bought some news that made me sit and think about it. More so to reflect that as a blog for our readers.
1. Tuesday Morning I had 7 missed calls from the same number. One of my close friends called me to inform demise of Another Friend's mother.
2. Wednesday afternoon I got a message of a certain acquaintance passing away. This gentleman had some influence in my life, he gave me critical advice to me at difficult times in life, they have helped a lot and i still hold on to them.
3. Thursday, a colleague of mine was sharing a news that a friend of his who was "Super Healthy" till previous Saturday has gone "brain Dead!"
As he was telling this, I was like - "Okay It happens!" But then he continued, until that point the Bell in my head did not ring.
He said - "We guys have no cover in case something happens to us", pointing to the guy sitting across to him.
I replied - "What about me, Him (point to some random) or him (another random guy.).
He told - "No I am telling like, We are married and have gone the family way, hence have bigger responsibilities"
I asked him - "Do you have a term Insurance?"
"Nope!"
I did not say anything back. Because he was not the only guy/person, whom we have met had the realizations that he has "Bigger Responsibility" but has done nothing towards accomplishing it in his absence.
To realize is one thing and to act on it is another.
It takes not much but just a bit of seriousness and a firm thought to keep your family financially safe and protected well after you (in case something happens to you).
In Short, We strongly advise that every working member of the
family should take a Term Life Insurance.
Term Life Insurance is one of
the most useful and cheapest variety of the insurance
available. I am not able to emphasize enough "Cheapness" in the word
"CHEAP" above.
Benefits of term insurance –
1.
The only life insurance – Insurance is to cover the
risk of life and only term does it to the fullest. Rest all are just Jumlas.
2.
Low premium – the premium one pays is very minuscule
when compared to the benefits the dependents gets in case of any uncertainity.
3.
Financial Security – In case of any uncertainity, huge
financial liabilities had to be borne by the family. Term insurance will cover
the risk & dependents will not have to worry for financial support.
4.
Tax Benefits – One can claim exemption under section
80C and the claim or maturity amount is tax-free as well.
5.
Rider options – One can avail additional benefits by
opting for riders such as Critical illness and accidental death or permanent
dis-ability benefits.
How To Go about a Life Term Policy-
1. Take a cover 20 times of your annual salary.
2. Add an Accidental Life Cover
3. Add a Critical Illness Cover.
How much does it Cost you?
Let us assume your monthly income is 50,000. Ideally, you need to go for a cover of 1.2 Crores. It approximately costs you only Rs 1,200 per month. Imagine, something happening to you, your family gets 1.2 Crores. Period. If nothing happened to you, then you should be absolutely happy that you were able to live your life to the fullest with your family!
People pay more attention to pay their two /four wheeler insurance in order to protect their vehicle from any uncertainty (could be because of strict laws). However, they fail to do so when it come to their lives. This is how ignorant we are.
All we can say is - Go on, get your life covered, it is the most valuable thing you have!
