Life insurance is a financial product that pays money to your family or chosen beneficiaries if you pass away. It’s mainly used to provide financial security—covering things like household expenses, debts, children’s education, or funeral costs.
🧾 Types of Life Insurance
- Term Life Insurance
- Covers you for a specific period (e.g., 10, 20, 30 years)
- Pays out only if you die during the term
- Usually the most affordable option
- Whole Life Insurance
- Covers you for your entire life
- Includes a savings/investment component (“cash value”)
- More expensive but builds value over time
- Endowment Plans
- Pay out either on death or after a fixed term
- Combines insurance + savings
- Unit-Linked Insurance Plans (ULIPs)
- Mix of insurance and investment in funds (stocks/bonds)
- Returns depend on market performance
