Popular Insurance FAQs

Any person who is 18 years of age or above, and as per other conditions specified under the Indian Contract Act, 1872 can purchase a life insurance policy. Alternatively, you may choose to buy a life insurance policy for a nominee, such as your child.

There are several reasons for purchasing a life insurance policy. Choosing a life insurance plan is fundamental to securing your family’s financial future. You can also purchase an insurance policy to save tax, create wealth, plan for your child's education or marriage, or to secure your golden years after you retire.

The insurance premium is the payment made by the policyholder to an insurance company for particular coverage. The payment has to be made regularly until the policy’s maturity, or as stated in policy documents, to avail of a specific life insurance cover and other monetary benefits.

Traditional savings plans like bank FDs, NSC, and PPFs have short maturity tenures as compared to life insurance policies. Thus, such savings plans do not offer a holistic, and comprehensive financial planning prospects. 

Life insurance policies, on the other hand, pay the nominees or beneficiaries the sum assured, along with bonuses (with bonus policies), even if the policyholder passes away before the end of the payment term. Thus, a life insurance policy offers greater securityOn the other hand, a life insurance policy pays the sum assured and bonus (with bonus policies) even if the policyholder expires before the end of the payment term. Hence, this provides greater security to the person and their loved ones. As such, insurance policy is superior to other savings plans, and offers greater financial security.

The first premium is the amount paid along with the insurance proposal. This depends on the payment mode chosen; it can be annual, semi-annual, quarterly or monthly.

Under a death claim, the benefits payable include the basic sum assured + rider (if applicable) + other policy additions (e.g., reversionary bonus/guaranteed addition (if applicable)).

Typically, every insurance policy offers you a grace period of 30 days to pay your premium (15 days if you are paying your premiums every month). After that, the company decides if you can pay back premiums and reinstate the policy. You may also have to provide sound evidence of your good health

All premium payments made towards a life insurance policy (such as an endowment plan, whole life plan, term insurance, and unit-linked insurance) under an insurance provider are eligible for tax exemption under section 80C (up to ₹1.5 lakh), and section 10(10D) of the Income Tax Act, 1961. Premium payments made towards a health insurance plan are eligible for tax exemption (up to ₹25,000) under section 80D. 

Under section 80C of the Income Tax Act, a policyholder can claim a maximum deduction of ₹1.5 lakh per year against the premiums paid if the premium paid does not exceed 10% of the sum assured in the policy, provided the policy has been purchased after April 1, 2012. In the event the policy was purchased before April 1, 2012, the premium paid should not exceed 20% of the sum assured.

We understand just how important it is to ensure a good lifestyle for your family. A wealth plan is specially designed to help you build wealth with tax advantages. It is an investment plan that provides you with life insurance coverage, along with investment options, and helps you build wealth through the power of market-linked returns. It ensures a lump sum payment at the end of the policy term. 

Any person who is 18 years of age or above can opt for a wealth plan. Alternatively, you may choose to buy a wealth plan for a nominee, such as your child.

The term ‘ULIP’ stands for Unit Linked Insurance Plan. It is an investment plan with which a policyholder receives insurance benefits, as well as market-linked returns by investing in a single plan. In a ULIP, the premiums paid towards the plan are invested in funds of the policyholder’s choice, which can be equity, debt, or balanced instruments.  The fund value reflects your growing corpus via NAV changes. Upon maturity, the fund value is paid to the policyholder. 

The NAV or Net Asset Value denotes the market value of each share of a particular fund. NAV is the price at which an investor may buy and sell a unit or share of a given fund. By monitoring the percentage of increase or decrease of the NAV of a fund, an investor can determine the performance of that particular fund.

We understand that as you go through life and reach major milestones, your premium allocation reference may change over time. To facilitate that need, you are allowed to change the investment fund option. However, you may be charged a nominal fee (if any) as mentioned in the policy contract.

Yes, you can withdraw partial funds from your policy after the completion of three years.

A life insurance policy is a contract between an insurance provider and a policyholder, which extends the promise of protection for their family. The policyholder makes regular payments towards the premium in exchange for the guarantee of financial cover at the end of the term (unless it is a pure term plan). It makes sure that their lifestyle is not compromised, and the sum assured can also be used to close debts.

Pure term insurance provides coverage only for the policy period. It can be opted for different periods or terms at a very low premium. Thus, in a pure term insurance plan, the benefits are payable only in the event of the death of the insured (or) policyholder during the policy term. Hence, the benefits of a pure term insurance plan are payable only on the death of the policyholder/insured within the term.

If you are supporting your family and/or are the income-earner, you require life insurance. Life insurance acts as a protective shield for your loved ones in the form of financial security. It can help you secure your finances for unforeseen circumstances, as well as act as an investment tool.

Unlike term insurance, whole life insurance is a permanent policy that provides coverage for your entire life. The term of the policy is your whole life. Therefore, when the policyholder dies, the death benefit is paid to the nominee (or nominees) as stated in the policy documents.

Riders are additional benefits that can be added to your existing insurance plan, as per your requirements. They are able to cover some aspects that do not already fall under your plan. 

To begin with, assess the total coverage you need and select a policy that lets you protect your family the best. After deciding on a plan, you may submit your filled application. The next step is usually a telephonic interview, before which you will have to get your medical records and other necessary documents ready. After an assessment of all factors, an underwriting process takes place. Following this, you will receive a policy offer. Upon duly signing the documents and paying your first premium, your policy will be ‘in force’ or active. 

In the case that you have a financial advisor, you can consult them to recommend an ideal plan that meets your unique needs. If you do not have a financial advisor, please reach out to us, requesting an appointment with an advisor from Tata AIA Life Insurance. You can review and compare various policies offered by us, and choose one that suits you the best. Tata AIA Life Insurance provides a variety of insurance plans and additional riders to ensure complete protection for you and your family. 

Renewal premiums are the subsequent premiums that are paid by the policyholder to the insurer in order to keep the policy in operation and avail the benefits of the policy accordingly.

Every insurance policy offers a "Freelook" period of 15 days from the date of delivery of the policy documents. The Freelook period is of 30 days for policies sourced through Electronic / Distance mode. Where customers have opted for Electronic Insurance Account at the time of purchase, the freelook period is from the date of credit to the EIA account.

If the insured wishes to use this facility and return the policy within the free look period, he/she is entitled to a return of premium with the following deductions wherever applicable-

• Any expenses incurred by the insurer on medical examination of the insured persons and the stamp duty charges, or
•  A deduction towards the proportionate risk premium for period on cover, or
• Where only a part of the insurance coverage has commenced, such proportionate premium commensurate with the insurance coverage during such period;
• In case of unit linked policy, in addition to the above deductions, the insurer shall also be entitled to repurchase the unit at the price of the units as on the date of the return of the policy.

The payment to the policyholder at the end of the stipulated term of the policy is called maturity amount.

If the due premiums are not paid while the policy is still within the lock-in period, then the policy would lapse and all benefits of the policy would cease.

The policy holder has a grace period for premium payment, which is 15 days from the due date for monthly premium payment frequency and 30 days from the due date for half-yearly and yearly premium payment frequency.

It is advisable to make the premium payment on time to continue having all the benefits that your policy provides you.
