Term Insurance With Maturity Benefit India
The term life insurance plans with maturity benefits are slightly different form the traditional life insurance plans. Normally, a traditional term insurance policy does not offer any direct maturity benefits to the policyholder. They only provide death benefits when a policyholder dies within the policy term.

So, if any buyer/policyholder wants to have maturity benefit, he/she can opt for a TROP (Term Return of Premium) plan. A term return of premium plan provides income replacement and refund the premiums at maturity, apart from offering all benefits of a traditional term life insurance plan. A TROP plan is a variant of pure term insurance plan and ensures maturity benefits, if the policyholder survives till the end of policy tenure.

Benefits of Term Insurance With Maturity Benefit
The term life insurance plans with maturity benefits offer a number of attractive benefits which include:

·         Death Benefits: Term insurance plans offer death benefits to designated nominees. The nominees will receive these death benefits, if the life assured dies within the policy tenure.

·         Maturity Benefits: Normally, traditional life insurance policies don’t offer maturity benefits. But term return of premium life insurance policies offer maturity benefits by returning the total amount of premiums paid so far, provided a policy is continued till the end of term.

·         Tax Benefits: A policyholder can enjoy tax benefits over the premiums paid for term life insurance plans with maturity benefits. The premiums paid and the amount received are exempted from income tax assessment under section 80C and 10 (10D) of the Indian Income Tax Act, 1961.

Term life insurance plans with maturity benefits also offer additional riders such as Critical Illness and Accidental Death or Disability riders.

Term life insurance plans come at affordable premiums rates.
