Kotak Term Plan

	Objective		This is an offline term insurance policy that aims to help the family members tide over a financial crisis on death of an insured member.
What does it do?		This term plan pays sum assured to the nominee on unfortunate demise of the insured. Policyholder can convert this plan to another plan offered by Kotak (except term plan), provided the policy has 5 years to maturity. Single premium policyholders can surrender their policy in case of an emergency. The surrender value is calculated as per a pre specified formula.
Pros		Women get lower premium rates. Single premium policies can be surrendered in case of an emergency. Policyholder has an option to convert the plan.
Cons		Maximum sum insured is limited to Rs 25 lakh, which may not be sufficient for everyone. Riders cannot be added during the policy term, but only at the time of purchase.
Suited for		This is an offline policy hence suitable for those who prefer traditional channels to buy insurance protection up to Rs 25 lakh.
Our View		A term plan provides adequate coverage at a low price. If you cannot buy a policy without agent's assistance, you may take this policy. However, if you are comfortable with online purchases, look for online policies as they have lower premium rates.
