Protect your family against uncertainty with Tata AIA's TROP plans!...
Term insurance plans are known to be flexible, affordable, and suited for nearly everyone. But since everyone's insurance needs are different, Tata AIA brings to you term plans with a return of premium that offer maturity and death benefits. Enjoy dual benefits under a term single plan!
Table of Content
A term plan with a return of premium (TROP) is a variant of term insurance. These plans offer a maturity benefit where you will be paid back all the premiums paid (minus GST) towards the term plan upon surviving the policy term.
Premiums for these plans will be slightly higher than basic term plans. Like pure-term plans, they also offer death benefits to your family in the event of your demise. In simple terms, TROPs are term plans that offer dual benefits under a single term insurance plan.

Term plans with return of premiums function similarly to pure term plans. The main distinction between a term plan and a term plan with a return of premium is the maturity benefit offered by TROPs.
Hence, term plans with a return of premiums will have:
Paid to the policyholder's family upon their death during the policy's term.
Paid to the policyholder when they survive the term plan's tenure.
Premiums for TROPs will stay the same throughout the policy's duration but will be higher than pure term plan premiums.
Let us look at an example to see how TROPs work using Tata AIA's term plan with return of premium.
If you are single or unmarried with fewer dependents or dependent parents, you can benefit from buying a term plan with return of premiums. The dual benefit ensures your loved ones are taken care of either way since the pay outs are tax-free4 under applicable tax laws.
As a couple, you will notice that your financial obligations will have begun to increase. You must now account for your spouse, dependent parents/in-laws and any future children.
With a term plan with a return of premium, the death benefit ensures that all your loved ones will be protected in the event of your demise. The maturity benefit can help further boost your financial security.
Once children come into the picture, there are always more responsibilities. Hence, investing in life solutions like term plans with a return of premium can help safeguard your spouse and children against any future financial emergencies. Moreover, the maturity benefit of survival can be used to pay for financial obligations like your child's higher education.
If you are older or planning for retirement, a term plan with a money-back feature can be beneficial. It not only protects your family but also ensures that you have access to additional financial resources during your retirement.
If you are an NRI with dependents, a term plan with a return of premium feature can help secure your loved ones back in India. As an NRI, you can also claim 5tax relief on your maturity proceeds under India's Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement (DTAA), so you are not taxed twice on the same income – in your resident country and India.
A Term plan with a Return of Premium (TROP) offers life covers and, at the maturity date, allows the refunding of premiums with guaranteed returns to the investor, making it increasingly popular for ensuring financial security through guaranteed returns as well. It is one investment that will undoubtedly be recommended; here's why:
Unlike a normal term plan, in which the premiums are non-refundable, TROP ensures that you get back all the premiums, paid if you survive the policy term.
This feature comes with financial security to your family and also acts as a risk-free savings option.
In case you die during the policy term, your nominee will receive the sum assured, thus ensuring that your family is financially stable.
The lump sum amount is utilized in paying loans, children's education, daily usage, and many other future needs.
This is one more significant benefit offered by TROP, wherein, if you live through the end of the term, all those premiums you had paid for decades are returned.
It is like a zero loss investment for one who seeks pure insurance with investment returns.
You can also claim tax deductions up to ₹1.5 lakh per annum under Section 80C of the Income Tax Act.
The maturity payout comes tax-free under Section 10(10D), subject to conditions.
You can add riders such as critical illness cover, accidental death benefit, and waiver of premium to your coverage.
These add-ons offer further security against unexpected events.
