Term insurance with return
of premium is a type of life insurance policy that combines the features of
term life insurance with a savings component. In this plan, you pay premiums
for a specified term, and if the insured person passes away during the policy
term, your beneficiaries receive a death benefit. However, if the insured
person survives the entire term, the insurance company returns all the premiums
you paid over that period. In essence, this policy provides a death benefit in
the event of the insured person's demise during the term, and if the person
survives the entire term, they will receive a refund of all the premiums paid.
Example:
Srinivasan purchases a 30 year Term insurance return policy
with the life protect amount of Rs. 50,00,000.
He is paying annual premiums for the entire 30 years that is Rs. 20,000
per annual. After the end of the term Srinivasan will get Rs. 6,00,000 (annual
premium x number of years). If
Srinivasan passes away during term period of the policy, his beneficiaries would
receive Rs. 50,00,000 (Full coverage amount).
