The major reasons why you should consider buying a term plan of Rs. 10 lakh include the following:
The above mentioned benefits are just a snapshot of what makes a 10 Lakh term insurance plan a desirable choice for financial security as well as tax savings for many individuals.
The working of a 10 Lakh term insurance policy is similar to term plans with higher sum assured such as Rs. 3 crore term plan and Rs. 5 crore term plan. Initially, at the time of policy buying, you choose the amount of life cover, the policy tenure (e.g., 20 or 30 years), the premium payment term and calculate the premium payable.
Second, you pay due premiums whether monthly, quarterly, bi-annually or annually over the selected premium payment term, to continue the policy for the applicable policy tenure.
Last but not least, in case of the life insured’s death during the policy term, the insurer will pay the nominee the amount assured of Rs. 10 Lakh as death benefit subject to applicable terms and conditions. However, this type of policy does not have any maturity benefits if the life insured outlives the policy term, the policy terminates without any payment being made.

Below are some of the key benefits of a term plan offering Rs.10 lakh sum assured that one needs to keep in mind:
The short list of benefits mentioned above show how a term insurance plan of 10 Lakh can be a smart and effective way to secure your family's financial future.
Below are some of the key factors that one should consider when choosing a suitable 10 lakh term insurance policy to purchase:
A 10 Lakh term insurance policy is an inexpensive means of securing your family's financial future. Young couples with liabilities that are expected to increase in the future, such as, bringing up children and paying off home loan, can choose to opt for this affordable option.
Moreover, those with outstanding debt can utilise the payout from such a policy to ensure that their family members are not saddled with unpaid debts if the policyholder passes away unexpectedly. Additionally, even with the relatively small sum assured offered by these plans, the payout from such a plan would provide replacement for any income lost due to death of the life insured.
Due to its affordability, this plan is beneficial to anyone who wishes to secure the financial future of their loved ones without adversely impacting their finances.
Below is a comparison of the key features of a Rs.10 Lakh term insurance plan vs other popular life insurance schemes:
| Feature | 10 Lakh Term Insurance | Whole Life Insurance | Endowment Insurance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Coverage Amount | Rs. 10 Lakh | Differs according to plan chosen | Differs according to the plan chosen |
| Premium Amount | Very Affordable | Relatively High | Higher than comparable term plans |
| Duration | Fixed term (usually extends up to 85 years of age) | Lifetime i.e. up to age of 100 years | Fixed term |
| Death Benefit | Lump sum payout | Lump sum payout + savings | Lump sum payout + savings |
| Tax Benefits | Section 80C benefit on opting for the old tax regime | Section 80C benefit on opting for the old tax regime | Section 80C benefit on opting for the old tax regime |
While a 10 Lakh term insurance policy might offer a very affordable way to secure your family’s future finances, the downside of such a plan is the relatively low payout on offer. In view of the current inflationary trend a higher sum assured such as 1 crore or higher would definitely offer superior protection for your loved ones.
