Why is Buying a Life Insurance Policy Essential?
Life is beautiful, but also uncertain. We can never predict what could happen the very next moment. In such cases, the financial security of the family becomes most important. One such security medium is life insurance.
“Life Insurance” is defined as a financial product that pays you or your dependents a sum of money either after a set period or upon your death. In other words, life insurance is an insurance tool or a provision that helps you secure your family’s financial future by getting adequate risk cover for your life. In return, you pay a particular premium amount to the insurance provider and can be rest assured that your family will be financially secured even in your absence.

What is Life Insurance Premium?
The premium in a life insurance policy is the amount that a policyholder pays to the insurance company periodically. These payments are made to ensure that their insurance policy stays in effect. The premium amount is calculated by the insurance company and will depend on different factors like:
- Type of plan
- Age of the Policyholder
- Gender of the Policyholder
- Medical History of the Policyholder
- Lifestyle Habits of the Policyholder (Smoking, Alcohol, etc.)
- Occupation of the Policyholder
- Riders opted for
If the policyholder skips out on making the premium payment on time, their policy may lapse and the insurance coverage stops. Insurance companies have made provisions to allow policyholders to make the premium payments as per their suitability. Policyholders have the flexibility of choosing the premium payment mode (Single Pay, Limited Pay or Regular Pay) and premium payment frequency (monthly, quarterly, half-yearly, or annually).
Life Insurance Riders and Their Importance
A life insurance rider is additional insurance coverage that you can include in your insurance policy. When you include a life insurance rider in your plan, you will be covered for specific situations. With a rider's help, you can enhance the coverage you get through the plan. Including a rider will mean a hike in your premium amount, based on the rider you choose. Therefore, you must choose your riders carefully.
