Objective

Policyholder can choose a sum assured and interest rate closest to the loan amount and interest. The choice of available interest rates includes 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18 and 20 per cent. For example, if policyholder has taken a loan at 10.25 per cent, he may either select 10 or 12 per cent as rate of interest to prepare loan schedule under this plan. Similarly, the policyholder can select the sum assured nearest to the loan amount.

Our View

Loan protection cover is a good way to protect your family from the burden of liabilities in case something happens to you.
When buying such a policy, make sure to match the interest of your loan with the rate at which sum insured reduces under the policy. This ensures that you have the right cover and not one that is higher or lower than your needs.
