Now get all your term insurance premiums back if you wish to discontinue your term insurance plan.
Have you heard of this zero-cost term insurance plan?
Yes, you heard it right. Life insurance companies now give all your premiums, which you paid to your insurance company over the years, back to you if you want to exit your policy at a later stage. And you can avail of this feature at no extra cost.
So your term insurance comes at zero cost, right?
There are a few points which you should consider.
Caveats - This feature comes with multiple terms and conditions such as you can avail this benefit only after being into the policy for at least 30 years or you can avail this only when you are aged between 60 and 65 years. These are difficult to remember after having the policy for so many years.
Not a default option - This return of premium is not a default benefit and you, as a policy holder, have to request it from your insurance company when you wish to avail this benefit. And the time lapse from the start of the policy is more likely to make you forget that you had this option in the first place.
Time lapse and value of premiums paid - The sum of all the premiums which you paid over the years will be insignificant in value after 30 or 35 years. This is because money loses its value over time.
Investment Income - Your insurance company would invest your premiums in some financial instruments as soon as you paid them and would grow it over time into a sizable corpus. And then if you request them to return your premiums, the company will only return the sum of all the amounts paid to you. It will still be keeping all the interest or investment income it earned on your premiums.
Then it does not remain a zero-cost plan for you as you have to forgo that investment income that you could have earned had you not bought this policy in the first place.
However, there is a good point.
If you are in your late 20s or early 30s and buy this policy now, you can get your premiums back at the age of 60 or 65 if you feel that you do not need that term insurance policy at that stage in your life.
Moreover, insurance companies now offer this feature along with their regular term plan without any extra cost.
