The right Life Insurance policy goes a long way in providing risk cover for the
insured as well as saving hard earned money.
The Term Plan project carried out for www.investorsareidiots.com involves the
analysis of the various term plans provided by Life Insurance Companies.
The parameters used for answering the question on term insurance are.
Term plans are the purest form of insurance products and they are very
affordable with their low cost and high coverage. Term plans are not attached
with any savings or investment product. In a pure term plan product, if the policy
holder dies the nominees will get the money that has been promised by the
insurance company as the Death Benefit for the policy holder. In a pure term
policy there is no maturity or surrender benefit. In the market, many variations of
Term Plan are available, which provide maturity and surrender benefit.
Since Maturity Benefit is usually zero in Pure Term Insurance Plans, there is no
requirement for Investment. Hence Term Plans are the cheapest plans in the
industry with the highest possible cover. Thus, any person will be able to take a
high cover for the protection of his family at a very nominal cost if he opts for a
Term Plan.

The usual customers for this plan would be someone who is the only earning
member of the family and has a number of dependents or someone who has
taken a loan. It is also beneficial for high net worth individual, who needs a very
high cover.
In certain plans the coverage can be increased after taking the policy and hence
can be availed by young individuals who do not have much liability now.
It helps to provide income to the family in case of the policy holders death. The
family remains protected in financial terms even after death of the policy holder.
