Protection in the times of Covid-19: A term insurance plan your family needs immediately!
13 Sep 2021
Any global citizen, today, understands the need for financial planning. If there were any stragglers, the Covid-19 pandemic has made them buck up and put their finances in order. Businesses shutting down, loss of jobs and lives has reminded everyone of the need to be always prepared for anything, at least financially - the need for a monetary safety net for your spouse, children, and all loved ones. Nothing can give you more ease and comfort than knowing that your loved ones will have a corpus to fall back upon in your absence. This would be your gift to them- the gift of a secure future.
And that is where a term insurance comes into the picture.
Not only is it the cheapest kind of life insurance available, it also offers you the opportunity to purchase a cover for a higher sum assured, at nominal rates. This gives more protection to your dependants and negates the possibility of a future financial risk. Of course, there are tax benefits to it too. You can also enhance your protection by adding riders to your term insurance plan to cover additional risks like critical illnesses, accidental death, partial or total disability, etc.

While it is important to stay financially protected, the priority should be to get total protection for your family.
