- Determine Coverage Amount: Opt for a sum assured that covers at least 10-15 times your annual income.
- Compare Plans: Evaluate policies based on coverage, benefits, and premiums.
- Check Claim Settlement Ratio: Choose a reliable insurer with a high claim settlement ratio.

The main types of life insurance include term insurance, whole life insurance, endowment plans, and unit-linked insurance plans (ULIPs). Each serves different needs—protection, savings, or investment.
Should I buy a term plan or a savings insurance plan?
A term plan is cost-effective with pure protection and a larger life cover, while savings insurance plans offer both coverage along with savings and guaranteed returns. Make a decision based on your life goals, savings, investments, assets, debts, and liabilities.
What kind of deaths are not covered in term insurance?
Deaths due to suicide within the first year, involvement in criminal activities, and death from dangerous hobbies like skydiving may not be covered. It's important to check the policy exclusions for specifics.
