Choosing Term Insurance: Coverage Needs and Rising Demand Among Young Affluent Indians
Term insurance provides financial protection to families by paying a death benefit if the policyholder dies during the coverage period. The appropriate sum assured depends on factors like income, dependents, outstanding loans, inflation, and future expenses rather than fixed amounts such as 1 crore. Recent data shows growing demand among younger and affluent Indians for higher coverage, with many opting for multi-crore policies. Choosing the right plan involves assessing personal financial responsibilities, policy terms, premiums, and coverage needs to ensure adequate protection without undue financial strain.
