Understanding Term Insurance in India
What is Term Insurance?
Term insurance is a pure protection policy that pays a lump sum to your family if you pass away during the policy tenure. It has no investment or maturity component – it's the cheapest way to get life cover.
Tax Benefits of Term Insurance
Under Section 80C, premiums paid (up to ₹1.5L) are tax-deductible. Under Section 10(10D), the entire payout is completely tax-free. This makes term insurance a highly tax-efficient risk management tool.
How Much Coverage Do You Need?
Rule of thumb: 10-15x annual income for salaried individuals, 15-20x for self-employed. This ensures your family maintains their lifestyle and financial goals if you are no longer there.
