1.Why do I need a savings plan?
A savings plan can help you save your money regularly over the long term, as per the chosen policy term. When the policy matures, you can receive the maturity benefits which have been saved over the years. A savings policy can be used for different long-term goals such as a retirement fund, higher education fees, an emergency fund, etc.
2.Are maturity benefit and survival benefit the same?
No. Survival benefits are paid out during the policy term if you survive the policy term. Maturity benefits are paid out to you at the end of policy term, i.e., when the policy matures.
3.Why do I need to add riders to my policy?
Riders10 are add-on benefits that can enhance the coverage of your life insurance policy. These are optional additions that offer coverage against specific risks such as critical illnesses, accidental death, disability, hospitalisation, etc.
You can choose which riders you want to include under your policy at your discretion. For instance, a critical illness benefit can be a suitable addition if you have a family history of certain medical conditions. Additionally, if you are employed in a hazardous job, you can opt for an Accidental Death and Disability rider.
4.Can I fulfil short-term financial goals with a savings policy?
A savings policy can help you fulfil short-term goals if it pays out a survival benefit during the policy term. The survival benefit is paid out in a certain amount for a specific number of years as per the payout frequency determined by the policy guidelines. You can use the funds from the survival benefit to supplement your short-term financial goals.
