Aegon Religare iTerm Plan

 

Objective

This is a pure term plan which can only be bought online. The policy also has low premium rates, as compared to other term plans of the insurer.
The convenience of buying this policy online, does away with the hassles of going through intermediaries and one can buy the plan at convenience.

What does it do?

The policyholder's nominees receive death benefit on death of the policyholder.
The terminal illness rider, if opted, will pay 25 per cent of the sum assured (with Rs 1 crore limit) on diagnosis of a listed terminal illness. The balance will be paid to dependents on death. A policy with terminal illness rider will stop accepting future premiums on diagnosis and pay the illness benefit.
The policy has the scope to enhance protection with three optional riders- accident death benefit, waiver of premium benefit on critical illnesses such as cancer, heart attack, bypass surgery and stroke. Females can opt for 'women critical illness rider' that covers illnesses pertaining to them such as complications at the time of pregnancy and malignant cancer of the female organs.

Pros

The policy is simple to purchase with lower premiums, especially for women. It provides terminal illness benefit to policyholder.
The policy covers death due to terrorist attacks.

Cons

The definition of terminal illness is not easy to understand and may lead to complications at the time of making a claim

Cons

The definition of terminal illness is not easy to understand and may lead to complications at the time of making a claim. Accidental Death rider does not cover accidental disability which is a more tough situation with no income and heavy medical expenses.

Suited for

This low cost policy is suitable for those looking for a high value cover.
The policy can be taken by anyone who can access the internet and make online payments.

Our View

A term plan can be taken to cover against the irreversible loss of life of a breadwinner. The rider to waive premium is valuable in this policy.
The online policy helps saving costs, which otherwise would have to be paid to intermediaries. The benefit of low cost to insurance company is transferred to policyholders as low premium rates.
