With so many types of life insurance plans available in India, it is possible for you to find a life insurance policy that can suit your insurance needs and your budget. If you are looking for a simple life cover to ensure your family’s protection in your absence, then a pure term insurance policy should be your pick. However, when it comes to saving your money or making an investment with a life insurance policy, you can turn to a life insurance savings plan or a Unit-Linked Insurance Plan (ULIPs).
Those seeking to save up and earn a regular income for their retirement years should opt for an annuity plan. Even some savings plans are designed to help you save funds for retirement. Hence, with the option of several different life insurance types, you have the flexibility of choosing any that works for you.
Term Insurance Plans
A term insurance policy is the simplest form of life insurance that can help you protect your family from financial emergencies in your absence. Term insurance provides pure life cover protection for a certain policy term and sum assured. In case of your untimely demise of the life assured during the policy term, the nominee can avail of this sum assured and financially sustain themselves.
A term insurance plan is also easy to protect them from unpaid loans and debts in your absence. Additionally, if there are major expenses that need to be taken care of when you are not around, your family can use the term insurance sum assured to meet these financial obligations.
A term life insurance policy is preferred by many because of the low premiums on the policy despite a high coverage. And when you buy a term insurance plan at a younger age, you can lock in lower premiums for a higher sum assured and continue paying low premiums over the years.
Term insurance policy coverage can be enhanced with optional rider# benefits. These riders are additional covers that can be added to the base term policy for an extra but nominal premium. For instance, with a critical illness cover, you can avail of financial support for your treatment and care in case you are diagnosed with a critical illness as listed under the rider. A health rider can support emergencies that deal with major and minor illnesses and injuries, hospitalization costs, terminal illnesses, and so on.
Example
Ms Ritu is a 25-year-old working professional who lives with her parents and her school-going sister. Her parents are nearing retirement, and in a couple of years, Ritu will be the only earning member in her family, at least for the next 15 years. Therefore, Ritu buys a term insurance policy for a policy term of 30 years and a sum assured of ₹1 crore with affordable annual premiums to protect her family’s financial future. If an unfortunate incident befalls Ritu during these 30 years, the sum assured will be enough to help her parents take care of themselves and her sister.

Savings Plans
Savings plans with life cover are a type of life insurance plan that enables you to save your money in a systematically over the long term to use the saved funds to fulfil your goals at the end of the policy term. There are a variety of savings plans that you can choose from depending on what goals and financial commitments you need to save for. One of the main reasons why people opt for savings plans is that the returns on such plans are guaranteed, and you do not have to worry about not receiving the entire sum assured on maturity.
When purchasing a monthly savings plan, always consider all the factors such as your family’s needs, your financial goals as well as any emergencies so that you can choose a sum assured that will suffice to handle these expenses.

Just as the maturity benefits are guaranteed, the death benefits of a guaranteed savings plan are also guaranteed and paid out in case of the policyholder’s untimely demise during the policy term.
Example
At the age of 25 years, Neha purchased a savings plan with a guaranteed sum assured of 30 Lakh for a policy term of 15 years. Her aim was to save funds for a new bakery store at the age of 40 years. By making regular premium payments, Neha started accumulating the funds in her policy. Her policy also had a life insurance cover which could ensure that in case something happened to Neha during the policy term, her parents would be looked after with the sum assured.

Unit Linked Insurance Plans (ULIP) Plans
A Unit-Linked Insurance Plan (ULIP) combines the benefits of investment and life insurance under a single plan. With a ULIP, you can grow your wealth by systematically investing in various funds that will help you earn market-linked returns on maturity. At the same time, the life cover component helps protect your loved ones in case of an unfortunate occurrence where you cannot provide for your family anymore. The premiums you pay for your ULIP are split between the investment and the life cover.
As an investor, investing in a ULIP policy will need you to assess your risk appetite, based on which you can select the funds to invest in. Since every investor’s investment needs are different, ULIPs, too, are designed to meet these varying needs. This means not only do you have the flexibility to choose the investment tenure and the premium payment term and mode, but you can also select from the range of investment funds offered. Whether you have a moderate risk appetite or a high-risk appetite, you can choose from equity funds, hybrid funds, bonds, and other securities to invest in.
ULIPs plan also enables you to make partial withdrawals during the policy period and allows you to switch between funds if you want to review or keep track of your wealth creation goals closely. Loyalty additions to the fund are yet another feature that can help you increase your investment corpus over the years. When it comes to the tax benefits on a Unit-Linked Insurance Plan, under Section 80C of the Income Tax+ Act, 1961, the annualized premium is eligible for a tax deduction, and under Section 10(10D), the returns received on maturity are exempt from taxes.
Example
Ms Manisha’s insurance needs are not restricted to a simple life insurance policy, and she wants an investment component which is why she buys a ULIP policy worth ₹50 Lakh for a tenure of 15 years and pays an annualised premium of ₹50,000 per year. She can choose from flexible fund options and pay the premiums as per her choice of premium payment mode.
At the end of the 15 years, Manisha will be able to get the total returns on her investment along with any loyalty bonuses that are added to the plan for being invested for the entire policy tenure. And if anything happens to Manisha before the end of the policy term, her family will receive the sum assured of 50 Lakh.

Retirement Plans
A retirement insurance plan or a pension plan is a type of life insurance plan that helps you save a financial corpus over a period of time for your retirement years. With a retirement plan, you can ensure a steady and regular income for yourself and your family when you stop earning a salary. This can help you lead a comfortable life with financial independence since the accumulated amount can suffice for the essential needs of you and your family as well as any emergency needs such as a medical contingency.
With long-term savings and investments, a retirement plan enables you to accumulate significant funds over the years. And with the life insurance cover, it is possible to protect your family’s financial future in case you are not around to look after them during your retirement years. As compared to traditional forms of savings, a retirement plan offers retirement investment options that can aid in growing the fund so that the inflation rate does not impact the value of your investment and savings.
Even though retirement plans are preferred for the benefit of a regular income, you can also choose to receive a lump sum amount or a combination of regular income and a lump sum payout. This benefit can help you decide how you want to receive the payout to plan for your goals in your retirement years accordingly. In addition, retirement plans also offer an income tax+ exemption on the maturity amount as per Section 10(10D) of the Income Tax Act, 1961.
Example
If a 40-year-old working professional wants to retire at the age of 60 years and wants to receive a regular income after retirement, they should opt for a retirement plan with a policy term of 20 years at the age of 40 years. Depending on their needs and financial goals during their retirement years, they can choose a sum assured that will be adequate for the needs of their family as well as for medical emergencies.
After retirement, keeping in mind that the regular income will replace the salary, one should also plan any major expenses such as starting a new business, funding a specialised course for their children, etc.

Group Insurance Plans
Group insurance plans cover a group of people, especially in an organisation, where the policy is offered by the employer or the company and the coverage and benefits are standard for all the members covered, irrespective of their socio-economic status, gender, age, etc. Group insurance plans have highly affordable premium rates, and the coverage is basic, but it serves the purpose of protecting employees or group members with life insurance. Under a group insurance plan, the policyholder is not the group member by the organisation that also pays the premiums.
Under such group insurance plans, each member of the group is covered for a sum assured that is decided by the organisation, and as long as the premiums are paid, each of the members is protected by the life cover. Hence, in case any of the members were to meet with an unfortunate eventuality, the sum assured they are covered for will be paid out to their family, which will help the aggrieved sustain themselves.
If a member of the group leaves the organisation during the policy term, this insurance policy ceases to cover them. This is the main reason people choose to have individual insurance coverage even though their organisation may provide group insurance plans. If the group insurance plan has maturity benefits, they are paid out to the employee on their retirement from the same organisation as part of their gratuity benefits.
Example
Mr Rajan did not have an individual life insurance policy for quite a few years. However, his organisation provided a group life insurance cover for him and other employees. Under this plan, each group member was covered for Rs 5 Lakh. Hence, if something unfortunate happened to Mr Rajan, his family would be financially protected by the sum assured from the group life insurance coverage. As for his employer, the premiums under a group life insurance plan proved to be quite affordable.
Types of Group Insurance Plans
Group insurance plans are of two types:
-
![]()
Contributory
Under the contributory group insurance plan, the group members pay the full or partial premium towards the policy to enjoy the benefits of the life insurance cover. Under these plans, some employers may deduct some amount of the insurance premium from the employee’s salary as the premium.
-
![]()
Non-contributory
In this type of group insurance plan, the employees or group members do not pay the premiums towards the policy to enjoy the benefits of the life insurance cover. Here, the employer pays the premium for the employee's insurance cover, thus making it a non-contributory cover.
Group Solutions
Group insurance plans from Tata AIA Life Insurance offer unique life insurance as well as credit and loan protection solutions so that all the group members can enjoy insurance benefits and stay protected cost-effective manner.
Combo Plans
A combo insurance policy is a comprehensive insurance plan that offers you the benefit of a Unit-Linked Insurance Plan, a savings plan, and a life insurance cover. Such plans consist of two or life insurance policies under a single solution and can help you create a complete financial plan with this solution. At the end of the policy term, you can avail of a guaranteed return on your investment.
A combo insurance plan is not only flexible in terms of the policy term and the premium payment term but also lets you choose how you would like to receive the payouts on the returns. With a Tata AIA Life Insurance combo plan, you can choose between regular income or endowment options.
Since your insurance, savings, and investment needs can change throughout your life, a combo plan can save you from the hassle of getting three different life insurance plans to cover your varying insurance needs. A single combo policy can be much more cost-effective and also save you a lot of time. Moreover, managing premium payments for multiple plans can be cumbersome, and that is something you can avoid by paying a single premium under a combo plan.
Example
Mr Sudhakar purchased a life insurance plan, a ULIP, and a savings plan to target all of his insurance needs. However, over the course of time, he realised that not only was it getting difficult to keep track of the premium payments but that the policy tenure of all three plans was not in sync with his life goals.
On the other hand, Mr Prabhakar chose a combo insurance plan which helped him with a life cover, his investments as well as long-term savings. All he had to do was choose a policy term and the premium payment term of his choice and pay a single premium for all three policies. This turned out to be cheaper than having to pay for three policies, and at the end of the policy term, Mr Prabhakar enjoyed regular income payout from his combo plan, as per his choice.
