What is Term Insurance?

Term insurance is a life insurance plan that pays a death benefit to the nominee(s) in the event of the death of the life assured during the policy term. The death benefit is disbursed to the nominee either as a lump sum or in periodic intervals, subject to the policy terms and conditions and the option chosen. The plan does not include any savings, investment, or maturity value.

 

Check out this video to understand what is Term Insurance and why you need one?

 

Why Term Insurance Is Important?

Let’s take a simple example.

Akash is 30 years old and is the sole earning member in the family. He is married, has two little kids, and has taken a home loan. Unfortunately, Akash meets with an unexpected death. Now, how will his wife manage all the day-to-day expenses and the loan if she has no regular source of income?

That’s where the term insurance plan death benefit comes in. It can help manage expenses like:

  • Pay school and college fees
  • Cover daily expenses
  • Repay loans (home loan, car loan etc.), if any
  • Manage medical as well as emergency costs
  • Support basic family needs
  • Maintain the family’s standard of living
 

With term insurance, Akash’s family can live their life without major financial setbacks even in his absence.

How Does Term Insurance Work?

The following is a simple breakdown of a term insurance plan works:

  1. Pick the plan that suits you

    • Check the available options of term plans.
    • Determine the coverage required and term for which you need coverage
    • Fill out the application and necessary physical examination form.
  2. Premium is calculated

    Premiums are calculated based on different parameters like your age, health and lifestyle habits (e.g. smoking, tobacco, drinking).

    Let' see a quick comparison of how smoking increases the premium for a 30-year-old individual:

    A smoker pays almost double the premium as compared to a non-smoker for the same life cover. This is because smoking increases the risk of major health issues.

    Based on your age, health habits, and the coverage amount selected, the insurer provides a quote.

    You can also use our term insurance calculator to quickly get a rough estimate of your premium.

  3. Submit the application

    Once you have decided on the cover you can submit the application form and the necessary documents listed by the insurance company. This also involves undergoing medical tests, if required by the insurance company.

  4. Underwriting and approval

    The insurance company’s underwriters review your application and medical test results to assess the risk. If all the information meets the criteria, your term insurance plan application is approved.

  5. Start paying premiums

    Once your policy is approved, your premium payment starts as per the chosen payment term and frequency like , monthly, quarterly, half yearly or annually. The term insurance plan stays active as long as the premiums are paid on time.

  6. Death Benefit

    In case of your (the life assured’s) unfortunate demise during the policy tenure, the insurance company will pay the sum assured under the policy to your appointed nominee(s) or beneficiaries as per policy terms and conditions. This sum assured will help them in managing daily expenses, debts, or any other future plans.

What Happens If You Survive the Term Insurance Plan?

  • In a pure term insurance plan, the term plan lapses at the end of the selected policy term and no pay out is made, if you survive the policy term.
  • In case you have selected a term plan with return-of-premium, the insurance company would provide you with the return of premium i.e., repay the premiums you paid during the policy tenure based on the terms of the plan.
  • At the end of the policy term, you can reassess your financial needs. It is up to you to purchase a new plan or change to another plan, based on your responsibilities and future goals.

Term Insurance Plans and GST: What You Need to Know?

  • Before 22 September 2025, GST was applicable on the premium amount paid for term insurance. This raised the overall price of the individual term insurance plans, which became costlier to the life assured.
  • Since 22 September 2025, the amount of GST levied on personal term insurance plans is 0% [1]. This implies that the policyholder will not pay an additional amount, but only the actual base premium. However, group term insurance plans are still subject to GST of 18%.
  • The revised GST structure is explained below:
Type of Term Insurance PlanGST before Sept 2025GST after Sept 2025Total Payable on Rs. 10,000 Premium
Individual Term Insurance18% GST0% GST10000+0 = 10000
Group Term Insurance18% GST18% GST10000+1800 = 11,800

Which is the Best Age to Purchase Term Insurance Plan ?

Buying a term insurance plan early, in your 20s, is helpful as the insurers view younger applicants as lower risk and may provide lower premium rates.

Starting early may also mean no or minimal medical tests, depending on the insurer’s requirements.


Buying Term Insurance Across Life Stages


A. In Your 20s

Cheaper & Best Time to Buy

  • Low Premiums
  • No/Minimal Medical Tests
  • Long-Term Coverage

Start early and lock in low premiums!


B. In Your 30s

Financially Protect Your Family

  • Moderate Premiums
  • Medical Tests(may be required)
  • Increasing term plans can help cover home loans, education, and other long-term expenses

An increasing term plan can help match coverage with rising income.


C. After 40s

Still Important, But Premiums May be Higher

  • Higher Premiums
  • Medical Tests Required
  • Limited Coverage with Health Issues
  • Protect Dependents & Loans

Even later in life, coverage matters.

Term Insurance Across Life Stages

Who Should Buy A Term Insurance Plan?

  • Term Insurance for Parents

    In India, parents have responsibilities for their children, from education fees to daily expenses, until they become financially independent. The early demise of a parent leaves the child emotionally and financially shattered. A well-thought term insurance plan ensures your child’s future is financially safe and covered.

  • Term Plan for Married Couples

    Marriage comes with sharing dreams as well as responsibilities. The unfortunate loss of a partner/spouse can affect the financial circumstances of the family. A term plan can be considered as part of financial planning to help manage financial matters and other future goals in the absence of a partner.

  • Term Plan for Working Women

    Today a lot of women prefer working and financially supporting their parents and/or other family members. The sum assured ensures that your dependents have enough corpus to meet their financial needs in the event of an unexpected death.

  • Term Plan for Young Professionals

    Young people in the early years of their career often feel that a term plan is something to be purchased later in life. But that’s a common misconception. In fact, when you buy a term plan early it is more affordable with less premium amount and gives longer financial protection.

  • Term Plan for Taxpayers

    The Indian Govt. offers tax benefits[16] under the Income Tax Act of 1961. You can claim a deduction of up to ₹1.5 lakh annually (on premium paid) under Section 80C in case of old tax regime. Additionally, the death benefit received by the nominee is also tax-free under Section 10(10D)[2].

  • Term Plan for Homeowners

    A home loan is typically a long-term financial commitment and incase of the unfortunate demise of the life assured during the loan repayment period the burden of repaying the loan amount can fall on the family. To ease this burden and secure the home, a term plan can be a reliable option. The death benefit from the term plan can help repay the home loan.

  • Term Insurance for NRIs

    NRIs (Non-Resident Indians) staying away from their families have the responsibility of financially securing their loved ones. If something unexpected happens, a term plan ensures your family continues to receive financial support, in your absence.

  • Expert Insight:

    For instance - If an NRI earns ₹50 lakh annually, experts recommend buying a ₹5 crore term insurance plan[3]. However, considering the expenses of international education and if the partner is not earning, the ideal cover may rise up to ₹7-10 crore[3].

  • Term Insurance for Diabetics

    People with diabetes can use a term plan to plan for their family’s financial future in their absence. Depending on medical condition and history, insurers may offer term insurance options that help build a robust safety net for your loved ones.

  • Term Plan for Senior Citizens

    Even after 60 years, some senior citizens still have certain financial responsibilities to fulfill like outstanding debts, medical expenses etc. A term insurance plan can help provide financial support to your loved ones so that they aren’t burdened by these responsibilities in your absence.

What are the Different Types of Term Insurance Plans?

A term insurance plan isn’t just one-size-fits-all. Depending on where you are in life and what your financial goals are, there are different types of term insurance plans to suit your financial needs:

 
Type of Term InsuranceWhat it MeansWhy It’s Good

Level Term Plan

The sum assured stays the same for the whole term.

Easy to understand, affordable.

Increasing Term Plan

The sum assured grows over the course of the policy term.

Helps keep up with rising needs.

Decreasing Term Plan

Financial Protection + you get your premiums back if the insured outlives the policy term

Convertible Term Plan

Can change into a whole life plan later

Flexible, no extra medical tests

Group Term Insurance

Offered by employer or organization to cover its employees

Affordable, simple, sometimes no medical tests

What Does Term Insurance Cover in India?

  • A term insurance plan in India provides a death benefit to your nominee if you pass away during the term plan. While most term plans cover many death scenarios, there are certain exclusions that are worth knowing.
  • Understanding what is covered and what is not covered can prevent your nominee from claim-related surprises later and ensure they receive the maximum benefits possible.

Natural death

Suicide within first 12 months

Death due to illness

Death during criminal activity

Hear from the expert on Term Life Insurance

What Are Term Insurance Riders?

  • Think of term insurance riders as an extra financial protection you add to your basic/main term plan. Adding a rider is easy. You just have to pay a little extra premium along with your regular term insurance premium.
  • Adding riders to the base plan makes your coverage more comprehensive and you can be better prepared for unforeseen situations. Besides helping your family’s financial future, term insurance riders also help in managing financial crunches during difficult times.

Different Types of Term Insurance Riders in India

Here are a few common term insurance riders that are generally available:

  1. Accidental Death Benefit Rider

    Accidental Death Benefit Rider gives additional payout in case the life assured passes away due to an accident, as defined by the insurer.

    Example:

    For instance Rahul purchases a ₹1 crore Term Insurance Plan. He also chooses to include an optional Accidental Death Benefit Rider of 30 lakh. Now, here are two scenarios:

    1st scenario:

    • Rahul dies because of a heart attack.
    • His nominee is assured a death benefit of ₹1 crore.

    2nd scenario:

    • Rahul dies in a road accident.
    • His nominee gets ₹1 crore (basic sum assured) + 30 lakh (Accidental Death Benefit Rider Payout) = 1.30 crore total.
  2. Critical Illness Benefit Rider

    Under Critical Illness Benefit Rider, the insurer pays a rider payout if the life assured is diagnosed with a critical illness listed under the rider.

    Example:

    • Rohan purchases a term insurance policy of ₹1 crore and a ₹ 20 lakh Critical Illness Rider. Rohan is later diagnosed with cancer (covered under the rider) after a few years.
    • The insurer pays ₹20 lakh to Rohan to cover his treatment, medicines and other hospital expenses. The base coverage that is the ₹1 crore sum assured continues according to the policy.
    • In case Rohan dies later during the plan tenure, his nominee will receive the sum assured of ₹1 crore as per the terms and conditions of the term plan.
  3. Permanent and Partial Disability Rider

    This term insurance rider provides a lump sum benefit if an accident causes permanent or partial disability such as loss of eyesight, loss of one a limb or both, etc.

    Example:

    After a nearly deadly accident, Ravi loses both legs and cannot continue working. The insurer pays the Permanent and Partial Disability Rider Payout as per rider terms to replace his lost income and sustain the family members dependent on him.

  4. Waiver of Premium Rider

    If the policyholder suffers a critical illness or injury or disability that prevents them from working or earning-as defined by the insurer-the Waiver of Premium Rider waives all future premiums. There is no payout, and the base term plan continues unchanged.

    Example:

    • Let’s say Ankit buys a ₹1 crore child based insurance plan with a Waiver of Premium Rider for 20 years and pays a yearly premium of ₹15,000.
    • After 5 years, Ankit is diagnosed with cancer, a specified critical illness covered under the Waiver of Premium Rider.
    • In such situation, he may need a major portion of his income for the treatment and may struggle to pay the premiums.
    • Under such circumstances, the insurer waives all future premiums, while continuing the plan.
    • If Ankit passes away during the term plan, his family will receive full benefit of ₹1 crore.

    Did You Know?

    According to recent reports in the industry, it has been revealed that most Indian families are increasingly buying insurance policies with add-ons[19]. While men are more inclined towards Accidental Death Benefit Rider, women are increasingly choosing the Critical Illness Riders[19].

    Choose the Best Term Insurance Plan As per Your Needs

    Below are the important factors of choosing the best term insurance plan in India for your family’s financial security.

    Number One Term Insurance Plan Based on Coverage Amount

    Your sum assured should reflect current financial responsibilities and future needs. Consider existing loans, children’s education, and living expenses while choosing coverage.

    Number Two Term Insurance Plan Based on Policy Term

    Select a term that covers your key life stages, until retirement or until major financial goals are met, to ensure consistent protection.

    Number Three Term Insurance Plan Based on Affordable Sum Assured

    An affordable sum assured helps you get term insurance plan at an affordable premium. Secure your family’s future while staying within budget.

    Number Four Term Insurance Plan According to Your Age

    Younger policyholders benefit from lower premiums. As you age, premiums rise, and coverage options narrow, making early selection more cost-effective.

    Number Five Term Insurance Plan Based on Your Salary

    A plan sum assured of covering at least 10 times your –15 times your annual income1 is generally recommended to maintain your family’s standard of living after your death.

    Number Six Term Insurance Plan for All

    Choose a plan that suits your profile, whether salaried, self-employed, homemaker, or NRI. Bajaj Life Insurance offers various options to align with diverse financial needs.

    How Are Term Insurance Premiums Calculated?

    Here are the factors affecting your term insurance premium –
    01

    Age of the Policyholder

    Term insurance for young individuals in their 20s generally pays less premium than people in their 30s or 40s. This is because younger people are at a lower risk of developing serious illness. As you grow older, the risk increases and so does the premium. 

    02

    Gender

    Women typically live longer than men[6], hence the insurer usually charges lesser premium for women than men for the same term plan with the same coverage.

    03

    Sum Assured

    This is basically the coverage amount you choose like ₹1 crore,₹2 crore, etc. A higher sum assured means your nominee receives greater financial support but the premiums are also higher.

    04

    Policy Term

    This is the duration for which the term plan remains active. Buying a policy at younger age typically allows you to choose a longer term at relatively lower premiums.

    05

    Health and Lifestyle

    If you have any existing illnesses, smoking or drinking habits or your family has a certain medical history, then you may have to pay slightly higher premiums than other healthy individuals of the same age.

    06

    Add-on Riders

    Bajaj Life Insurance offers a number of add-on riders like Accidental Death Benefit Rider, Waiver of Premium Rider, Critical Illness Benefit Rider and Permanent and Partial Disability Rider, etc. These term insurance riders enhance your coverage and offer financial protection at an additional nominal premium.

    07

    Occupation

    If you work in a high-risk profession like construction, mining, firefighting or aviation, your term insurance premiums are slightly higher. This is because insurers categorize these jobs as hazardous and prone to accidents or health risks.

    Factors Affecting Term Insurance Premiums

    Term Insurance Eligibility in India

    Before buying a term insurance plan in India, it is important that you know the eligibility criteria mentioned by the insurer. These criteria define the basic conditions that need to be met for processing and approving the application.

    However, the eligibility requirements may vary from insurer to insurer, so individuals should check the policy terms and conditions carefully before purchasing.

    Lets cover them in the table below:

    FactorEligibility Requirement / Details
    Minimum Age18 years[7]
    Maximum Age at EntryGenerally up to 65 years, though some insurers may allow entry up to 70 years[7]
    Policy Term5 to 40 years[7]
    NationalityIndian citizens, NRIs, PIOs[5] subject to IRDAI rules and insurer’s underwriting.
    IncomeNo specified income range, but coverage is often 10-15 times the annual income[9].

    Medical Test for Term Insurance – Is It Compulsory?

    • If you are planning to buy term insurance online, one common question is: Is medical test compulsory for term insurance?
    • The answer depends on various factors mainly your age, health profile and the coverage amount you choose.
    • Some insurers don't ask for medical tests if you are in your 20s and have no medical history.
    • However, if you are older and opting for a higher sum assured, say ₹1 Crore, then a medical test is mandatory before you can buy a term insurance plan online or offline.

    Common Medical Tests Needed for Term Insurance[10]

    Standard Tests:

    1. Complete Blood Count (CBC)
    2. Blood Sugar (Fasting & Random + HbA1c)
    3. Lipid Profile
    4. Liver Function Test (LFT)
    5. Kidney Function Test (KFT)
    6. Urine Analysis
    7. Electrocardiogram (ECG)
    8. Chest X-ray
    9. BMI
    10. Blood Pressure
    11. HIV/Hepatitis

    Additional Tests (for older applicants or high coverage term insurance plans):

    1. Stress tests (TMT)
    2. Lung function tests (spirometry)
    3. Ultrasounds
    4. Eye examinations
    5. Pulmonary Function Test as Additional Tests

    Age-Specific Evaluations (for senior citizens):

    1. Cognitive Assessments
    2. Bone Density Tests

    What Documents Are Required to Buy Term Insurance?

    Below is a simple list of documents[11] required to buy term insurance in India.

    1. Identity Proof (KYC Documents)
      • Aadhaar Card
      • PAN Card
      • Passport
      • Voter ID
      • Driving Licence
    2. Address Proof
      • Aadhaar Card
      • Passport
      • Utility bills (electricity, telephone, water, gas – usually not older than 2 months)
      • Bank statement
      • Property or Municipal Tax receipts
    3. Medical Reports (If Needed)
      • Most insurance companies don’t always require any medical test report before buying a policy, but some may ask for one for verification. Since, if any condition is missed or considered undisclosed, the insurer may reject your claim.
      • To avoid this, medical test reports are needed. If your policy is approved, the insurance company usually pays for your medical tests.
      • The insured has a free look period of 15 days (or 30 days for electronic or distance policies) from the date of receiving the policy to review its terms. If the insured has not made any claim during this free look period, they are entitled to a refund of the premium, after deducting medical examination costs and stamp duty charges[10].
      • This all depends on the insurer’s product and underwriting policy.

Instead of debiting the premium amount immediately, it is held in your account through a UPI One-Time Mandate, as per IRDAI regulations[17], for a maximum period of 14 days or until the underwriting decision is made, whichever is earlier.

    Can We Buy Multiple Term Insurance Plans in India 2026?

    Yes[20], you can purchase multiple term insurance policies in India with various insurers to enhance t financial safety. However, you should also be truthful and disclose all the existing term insurance policies to the insurer at the time of application. The absence of disclosure may result in refusal of claims in the future.

     

    Multiple Term Insurance Plans in 2026

    Buying multiple term insurance policies is useful when:

    1. You want higher sum assured
    2. Your income has increased and you need more coverage
    3. You want separate policies for home loan, family expenses, or child education

    Will Claim Be Paid From Multiple Term Insurance Policies?

    • Yes, in case of the life assured’s death, the nominee will receive death benefit as per the term plan from each insurer. However, the nominee must file separate claims with each insurer.
    • Buying multiple term insurance plans does not reduce claim eligibility if all the information and the documentations are correct.

    What Happens If My Term Insurance Policy Lapses?

    If you do not pay your term insurance premium, your policy does not lapse immediately. You get a grace period of 15 days for monthly payments and 30 days for quarterly, half-yearly, or annual payments[13]. If the premium is not paid within this period, then the policy lapses and your life cover stops.

    A grace period is a short window of time given by the insurer to pay your premium after the due date. During this grace period:

    • Your policy remains active
    • Your term cover continues
    • You can pay the premium without losing the policy benefits

    What Happens After the Term Insurance Grace Period Ends?

    SituationOutcome/Result
    Premium still unpaidPolicy lapses, coverage stops
    Death of life assured after lapseNo claim is paid to your nominee
    Add-on RidersRiders become inactive

    How Do You File a Term Insurance Claim Successfully?

    Filing a term insurance claim allows the insurance company to review the policy and determine if the claim is eligible under the policy terms.
    Settlement of claims can be completed with ease and success using the following steps:
    01

    Inform the Insurer Immediately

    The death of the life assured should be reported to the insurance company as soon as possible. Most of the insurers offer 24/7 claim helplines and/or online portals where the claim can be quickly registered.

    02

    Gather Required Documents

    Prepare all necessary documents[18] to prevent delays.

    1. Filled Claim Form
    2. Death Certificate of the policyholder
    3. Policy Document
    4. Assignment/re-assignment deeds (if any)
    5. Legal proof of title (if no nominee/assignment)

    6. Signed discharge form


    Note: The list of documents vary insurer to insurer and policy to policy, review the terms and conditions before buying the policy

    03

    Fill in the Claim Form Correctly

    Complete the claim form using the right information as specified in the policy. Wrong, or unavailable information may slow the claim settlement process.

    04

    Send Documents to the Insurer

    Send the claim form and supporting documents through the online portal of the insurer, email or through the branch office. Make and keep copies of all documents with you as well.

    05

    Monitor the Status Regularly

    Monitor the status of the claim. Respond to requests of any document or clarification as soon as possible.

    06

    Claim Settlement

    After the insurer has ensured all the documents are in order, the nominee will receive the amount assured. Insurers must settle death claims within 15 days from the date of receiving the last necessary document. If further investigation is required, the claim must be settled within 45 days.

    Note - The claim process, documents required, and timelines may vary policy to policy and insurer to insurer. Check the policy document or insurer’s website for specific details before buying.

    What Are the Tax Benefits of Term Insurance in India 2026?

    The premiums that you pay when you purchase a term insurance in India are tax-deductible under the provisions of the Income Tax Act, 1961, Section 80C, 80D in case of old tax regime[16]. These tax deductions further make term insurance a wise financial choice particularly among the young millennials to save on the taxes, and ensure the financial security of their loved ones.

    You can claim these tax benefits under three different sections of the Income Tax Act, 1961:

    2. Skipping Term Insurance Riders
      Term insurance riders such as Accidental Death Benefit Rider, Permanent and Partial Disability Rider, Critical Illness Benefit Rider, Waiver of Premium Rider help improve your term insurance plan by offering additional financial protection.
    3. Focusing Only on Premiums

Considering options like an increasing term plan, where the coverage grows gradually, can provide better financial protection for your family in the future.

    Term Insurance FAQs

    Is term insurance worth buying it if I have no dependents?

    Plus Symbol

    Term insurance can be a good purchase even when you do not have any dependents. It may help cover your unpaid debts and also if you buy a term plan early, you can lock in lower premiums. 

    Are term insurance premiums fixed or do they increase every year?

    Plus Symbol

    In India, most standard term insurance policies usually have fixed premiums during the policy term. The premiums do not increase. However, some insurers also provide increasing term insurance plans, where the sum assured increases over time, which may slightly affect the premium structure.

    What is the payout option in term insurance?

    Plus Symbol

    Insurers make the payout in lump sum or as a monthly income or a combination of the two. There are also plans where the payouts can be staggered within a given period of time. The choice of the option can be decided at the buying time depending on the financial needs of your family and future spending plans.  

    Is term insurance valid if I change my job or move abroad?

    Plus Symbol

    Yes, your term insurance remains active if you change your job. In case you relocate overseas, you must notify the insurer. It is important that you update your contact details and residency status always to eliminate the possibilities of claim rejection and to maintain a continuous coverage of the policy term.  

    How does inflation impact term insurance coverage?

    Plus Symbol

    The real value of your sum assured is devalued by inflation. For example, ₹1 crore today might not have the same purchasing value after 10 or 20 years. This implies that you may not cover all the expenses of your family in the future. Due to inflation risk, higher cover or increasing term plan can be opted to cope with inflation risk. 

    Does term insurance cover death during international travel?

    Plus Symbol

    Yes, term insurance plans cover death during international travel including accidental and natural deaths. There can however be some exclusions on high-risk activities, war zones or restricted countries. One should be cautious to read the terms of the policy before travelling to foreign countries. Informing the insurer about your long-term foreign stay will make the claim settlement easy for the nominee.

    Can I switch insurers after buying term insurance?

    Plus Symbol

    Term insurance plans cannot be switched between insurers. If you wish to change the insurer, you must purchase a new policy and undergo fresh underwriting.

    Can I add two nominees in my term insurance plan?

    Plus Symbol

    Yes, you are allowed to have several nominees in your term insurance. The percentage share that each nominee will get can also be specified. This will ensure transparent allocation of the claim amount and avoid conflicts. The information about the nominees can be typically updated by sending a formal request to the insurer with the necessary documents.

    Smart Investment Choice
    I opted for coverage early on to stay ahead. The premium is quite affordable, and I don’t need to pay it all at once. Honestly, I found it better than investing a huge amount all at once in a fixed deposit. Here I can pay smaller amounts at regular intervals and get high coverage.
