This could be relocating to another city or country, sending your child to a renowned college, purchasing a car or house or starting a new business! While these events certainly have an emotional value, they come for a price. And to ensure that money does not come in the way of fulfilling these goals, you need to equip yourself with an endowment plan.

    Tata AIA Life Insurance endowment plans are designed to ensure that every milestone in your life can be fulfilled with an endowment policy that you have chosen and customised as per your needs. With ample choices in the policy term, premium payment terms, coverage and riders^, our endowment plans act as a fool-proof financial solution to help you achieve your dreams!

    What is an Endowment Policy?

    In a traditional life insurance plan, a death benefit is paid out to the nominee in the event of unfortunate death of the life assured during the policy term.  An endowment plan has a dual benefit of life insurance and savings.

    An endowment policy is a type of savings life insurance policy that helps you save your money systematically throughout the policy term and then receive the benefits on maturity. While endowment plans also have a death benefit, as savings plans, they serve the purpose of helping you save a financial corpus for the future when you need to fulfil some major financial goals such as your child’s education, retirement, or down payment on a home.

    How Does an Endowment Policy Work?


    An endowment insurance policy is a type of savings policy that allows you to receive a lump sum benefit on maturity. You get to choose an endowment with a policy term, premium payment flexibility and total sum assured of your choice. Moreover, you can also select some optional riders^ to add to your endowment life insurance policy to enhance its coverage. The riders are useful as they enable you to handle sudden emergencies such as a critical illness or accidental death, or disability without interrupting your savings.

    The insurance company manages the investment component of the premiums paid by you, to provide a steady return on your investment. Your savings fund grows with the passing years as you pay your premiums regularly, and this also lets you protect your family from financial uncertainties. Moreover, in case of your untimely death during the policy term, your family will be taken care of by the guaranteed death benefit sum assured.

    However, if you survive the term, a lump sum benefit, which is your savings fund, is paid out to you as an endowment benefit. With the help of this endowment benefit, you can plan major purchases and fulfil your goals or make investments of your choice.

    • Types of Endowment Life Insurance Plans

      In India, there are four types of endowment life insurance plans:

      Traditional Endowment Plans

      These are traditional life insurance plans that combine the benefits of insurance and savings. Under a traditional endowment plan, the policyholder pays premiums for a certain period, and upon maturity of the policy, the policyholder receives a lump sum payout.

      Unit Linked Endowment Plan

      These are insurance plans that combine the features of both insurance and investment.  A part of the premium amount is invested in equity or debt securities. The policyholder can choose the desired fund and returns are based on the fund performance.

      Non-Profit Endowment Plan

      Under this type of endowment policy, a maturity amount is paid to you at the end of the policy term, or a lump sum benefit will be paid out to your nominee in the event of your unfortunate demise. These policies are known as non-profit endowments because the life insurance policy does not comprise any additional bonuses. Therefore, the guaranteed payout will remain the same as the amount pre-determined at the time of policy purchase.

      Low-cost Endowment

      The premium amount under this type of endowment plan is low, which helps you save your money for future payments. A certain amount is guaranteed to be paid out on maturity; in the event of your death, your nominee will receive the same. Moreover, yearly bonuses, as and when declared, will be payable, which boosts the maturity corpus. Hence, these plans can help you accumulate a financial fund within a defined period.

    Why Should You Buy an Endowment Policy?

    These are some of the reasons why you should have an endowment life insurance policy:

    • Regular Savings

      An endowment policy helps you save some amount of money each month or year, as per the premium payment term of your choice. Over the years, this helps you develop a regular habit of saving your money for your future. The savings you build can be as much as you want them to be, depending on the maximum limit your insurance company allows you to invest.

    • Maturity Benefits

      A lot of long-term financial goals, such as purchasing a new home, paying for your child’s further education, or starting a new business venture, can call for a lot of funds. And you will need this money as a lump sum amount instead of in small payouts. When your endowment insurance policy matures, you are entitled to the lump sum benefit for the fulfilment of your goals.

    • Life Insurance

      Endowment plans come with a protective life insurance cover that can help your family lead a financially comfortable life in case you are not around to provide for them. The life cover component is built alongside your savings, so in case of an emergency, you do not have to worry about not having an alternative arrangement for your family’s financial stability.

    • Lower Risks

      As compared to market-linked investments, an endowment plan carries very low risk, which makes it ideal for low-risk investors. By simply saving your money in a systematic way over the years, you can accumulate a financial fund that you can receive on maturity. Since this amount is a guaranteed benefit, there is no risk of losing any money, and you can utilise the lump sum for your goals.

    Features of an Endowment Plan

    Here are some of the salient features of an endowment plan:

    • 01

      Dual Benefits

      Endowment plans are preferred by many because they offer the added benefit of life insurance while you build your savings throughout the policy term for the fulfilment of your goals. This ensures that you and your family can be protected against uncertainties while you save for your future.
    • 02

      Guaranteed Returns

      The returns on an endowment insurance policy are guaranteed, and when you purchase such a policy, you can easily choose the sum assured you want to receive on maturity. Moreover, since endowment policies are low-risk investments, you will not lose any of the sum assured on maturity and can utilise the entire lump sum amount.
    • 03

      Flexible Options

      To help you pay the premiums easily to build a monetary fund, you can choose the premium payment term and mode which lets you pay the premiums for a selected number of years. You can also pay the premiums by the month or on a half-yearly or annual basis as per your convenience.
    • 04

      Enhanced Coverage

      An endowment insurance policy also allows you to add optional riders to the policy to enhance the coverage. As a result of this, you can face any specific emergencies without having to disrupt your savings plan in any way. The benefits of the riders help you keep your policy active while tackling emergencies.

    Benefits of an Endowment Policy

    • Long-Term Savings

      You can choose the number of years to save your money through the endowment policy and pay the premiums over the policy term. This ensures long-term savings until the plan matures and you can receive the benefits.

    • Tax Benefits

      The premium payments of the endowment insurance policy are eligible for tax# benefit under Section 80C of the Income Tax Act, while the lump sum benefit received on maturity is tax-free under Section 10(10D) of the Income Tax Act.

    • Rider Benefits

      You can add optional riders^ to your endowment plan based on what risks and events you are seeking coverage against. At nominal premiums, these riders can help you continue your savings while handling unforeseen events.

    • Death Benefits

      The life insurance cover of your endowment life insurance helps your family receive an assured death benefit in case of your untimely demise during the policy term. The life insurance death benefit helps them out financially in your absence.

    • Fulfilment of Goals

      The lump-sum returns from your endowment policy can help you commit to the fulfilment of long-term goals. You can plan for major financial obligations in the future, such as setting up a trust fund with a lump sum endowment.

    • Guaranteed Returns

      Since the endowment plan returns are guaranteed, it becomes easier for you to chart out your future goals. Depending on the amount you want to save and the policy term, you can time your financial plans accordingly without any losses.


     

    • Who Should Buy an Endowment Plan?

      An endowment plan provides a lot of flexibility in terms of the policy term, the premium payment terms, modes, and frequencies while also allowing you to choose how much you would like to save. This makes an endowment life insurance policy a feasible option for nearly everyone.
       

      However, it is important to note that an endowment life insurance policy pays out the benefits of the policy as a lump sum amount on maturity. Therefore, people who intend to fulfil their financial objectives in the future with the help of a lump sum benefit can make the best use of endowment plans.
       

      These plans offer a disciplined way to approach your savings which makes it easier for you to plan your funds for the future. With the choice of premium payment terms and modes, you can choose the number of years for which you want to pay the premiums. Below are three categories of people who can opt for endowment life insurance.

      Those With Major Future Goals

      A future investment or the fulfilment of a major financial goal means you have to be ready with the right amount of finances. An endowment plan can offer you the entire benefit as a lump sum so that you can plan for an expensive vacation, a large business investment or a big purchase for the future.

      Those Who Seek Savings and Insurance

      The life insurance component in an endowment plan is important for those who do not want to compromise their family’s security due to an unforeseen event. The life cover can help such people save their money while not having to worry about the financial future of their loved ones.

      Those With Flexible Financial Plans

      Many people prefer planning their own investments as time goes by. Hence, instead of opting for regular income, they choose an endowment benefit that puts the entire corpus in their hands, allowing them to decide how they wish to invest it, spend it or save it, as per their convenience.

    Things to Consider Before Buying an Endowment Life Insurance Policy

    • Plan Early

      You should start planning your endowment life insurance policy in advance and at an early age so that you can time the fulfilment of your goals well with the lump sum benefits received on maturity. By choosing a policy term and premium payment option of your choice, you can sync your goals perfectly with your savings.

    • Compare policies

      Since an endowment life insurance policy is quite flexible, you should compare different plan options, policy terms and other benefits to check which endowment plan will be most suitable for you. If you have long-term goals, then be sure to choose a policy term that will enable you to accumulate your wealth over the long term.

    • Flexible options

      To ensure that the premium payments do not become a hassle and you are able to manage all your other expenses during the policy term, opt for a premium payment term, mode and policy term that lets you decide how to create your savings fund while keeping the premiums affordable and reasonable.

    • Check riders

      Optional riders are always good for your endowment plan as they cater to specific emergencies such as accidental disability and critical illnesses. Look for adequate rider options so that you can choose the ones that are most useful in enhancing the coverage of your endowment plan.
