Introduction:-Life Insurance in India has made its debut well over 100 years ago.In our
country,which is one of the most populated in the world,the prominence of insurance is not as widely understood as it ought to be.What follows is an attempt to acquaint people with some of the concepts of life insurance with special reference to HDFC Standard Life Insurance company. Life Insurance is a contract that pledges payment of an amount to the person assured( or his nominee) on the happening of the event insured against.The contract is valid for payment of the insured amount during :-
1
The date of maturity Specified dates at periodic intervals Unfortunate death,if it occurs earlier. Among other things,the contract also provides for the payment of premium periodically to the company by the policyholder.Life Insurance is universally acknowledged to be an institution,which eliminates risk substituting certainity for uncertainity and comes to the timely aid of the family in the unfortunate event of death of the breadwinner.By and large Life Insurance is partial solution to the problems caused by death.Life nsurance is concerned with 2 hazards that stand across the life path of every person:a)That of dying prematurely leaving a dependent family b)That of living till old age without viable means of support. Any person who has attained majority and is eligible to enter into a valid contract can insure himself/herself and those in whom he/she has insurable interest. Policies can also be taken, subject to certain conditions, on the life of one's spouse or children. While underwriting proposals, certain factors such as the policyholders state of health, the proponent's income and other relevant factors are considered by the Corporation
Advantages of Life Insurance 1)Contract of Insurance:A contract of insurance is a contract of utmost good faith technically known as uberrima fides. The doctrine of disclosing all material facts is embodied in this important principle, which applies to all forms of insurance.
At the time of taking a policy, policyholder should ensure that all questions in the proposal form are correctly answered. Any misrepresentation, non-disclosure or fraud in any document leading to the acceptance of the risk would render the insurance contract null and void.
2)Protection
Savings through life insurance guarantee full protection against risk of death of the saver. Also, in case of demise, life insurance assures payment of the entire amount assured (with bonuses wherever applicable) whereas in other savings schemes, only the amount saved (with interest) is payable.
3)Aid To Thrift:
Life insurance encourages 'thrift'. It allows long-term savings since payments can be made effortlessly because of the 'easy instalment' facility built into the scheme. (Premium payment for insurance is either monthly, quarterly, half yearly or yearly). For example: The Salary Saving Scheme popularly known as SSS, provides a convenient method of paying premium each month by deduction from one's salary. In this case the employer directly pays the deducted premium to LIC. The Salary Saving Scheme is ideal for any institution or establishment subject to specified terms and conditions.
4)Liquidity:
In case of insurance, it is easy to acquire loans on the sole security of any policy that has acquired loan value. Besides, a life insurance policy is also generally accepted as security, even for a commercial loan.
5)Tax Relief:
Life Insurance is the best way to enjoy tax deductions on income tax and wealth tax. This is available for amounts paid by way of premium for life insurance subject to income tax rates in force. Assessees can also avail of provisions in the law for tax relief. In such cases the assured in effect pays a lower premium for insurance than otherwise.
loans are granted to policyholders for house building or for purchase of flats (subject to certain conditions).
7) Creditors cannot claim the life insurance moneys.They can be protected against attached by courts.
The key to building a sound financial plan is to start with a solid and secure base. Insurance can help you ensure a sound and secure foundation by protecting your family, protecting your assets, protecting your health and most importantly - protecting your dreams. With evolution, insurance also offers you solutions to accumulate substantial savings and invest them for your future needs as wells as for your retirement
Need for Life Insurance:1)Funding future goals through insurance:- A wide range of vehicles are available to
fund future financial goals. These could be low risk low return instruments like bank deposits and small savings, or higher risk products such as equity, which can offer potentially higher returns. Insurance scores over other investment vehicles in the following aspects:-
Certainty Once a goal has been identified and a value for it has been crystallized, an insurance policy is an excellent vehicle to fund the goal. This is because one can rest assured that even in the unfortunate event of death or even critical illness, the sum assured will fund a future goal of the policyholder. Tax efficient Maturity benefits of most insurance policies are tax free under Section 10 (10D) and the premium paid is eligible for deduction under Section 80C of the Income Tax Act, 1961. Flexibility Insurance products, especially Unit Linked Plans, provide flexibility in terms of asset allocation to suit specific risk appetites, policy durations, premium payment terms and fund switching options. Wider options Depending on the time horizon of the goal, the return required and the investors risk appetite, a broad spectrum of asset allocations between equity and debt is possible in a Unit Linked Plan. An investor may tailor his policy to suit his requirement. Liquidity Most Insurance products offer good liquidity after the lock-in period to take care of any emergency requirement of funds. But they do have inherent deterrents in the form of charges to discourage unnecessary encashment. Earmarking Very often an insurance policy is taken for a specific goal. This therefore can become a deterrent against utilizing these funds for any other purpose and also encourages continued contributions.
2) Planning for unforeseen events:- Insurance helps you to provide for contingent
liabilities like hospitalization, critical illness, debt redemption etc, in a cost efficient manner.
Term insurance Term insurance is the simplest and cheapest form of life cover, which pays the sum assured on death. This is useful to simply provide for a familys survival in the unfortunate event of demise of the bread winner. This can also be used to cover repayment of any debt of a policy holder by simply assigning the policy to the creditor. Upon maturity or claim on the policy, the proceeds are paid to the creditor. Loan Cover policies are a variant where the sum assured keeps reducing in line with the loan balance. Health covers These policies provide cover against major health care expenses like hospitalization, surgery, critical illness etc. The benefits could be in the form of fixed pay outs on hospitalization or a lump sum on diagnosis against some specified critical illnesses. Accident benefit This is usually an add-on cover over a basic policy and pays an additional sum assured to the beneficiary in case of death due to accident. Since accidental death is sudden and unforeseen, the family could be faced with issues like relocation, debt servicing and other requirement for funds.

This is where insurance offers the best solution in the form of an annuity. Annuities bought from the retirement corpus can either be used to provide regular post retirement income for a fixed term or also for the entire life.
A retirement plan may be broadly divided into two phases, namely accumulation (pre-retirement) and distribution or consumption (post-retirement). In the above graph*, we assume a 30-year old who plans to retire at the age of 60 and expects to live till age 80. His accumulation phase is between age 30 and 60 when he builds his retirement corpus and distribution phase is between age 60 and 80 when he draws down this corpus for his living. Retirement Plans ensure that the distribution phase of your life is as comfortable as your earning years. * This is only to explain the point and the figures are not based on any calculation.
The following illustration depicts the impact of inflation on income and prices.
Insurance products such as Unit Linked Plans help us combat the impact of inflation on our financial goals by providing the option to invest in equity, which is known to deliver one of the best returns from all asset classes, over the long term. Ignoring inflation would result in our savings falling short of the estimated value of future goals, especially over the long term.
Conventional Plans:1)Pension plans:- Retirement is a natural progression and only if you are financially secure
during these years can you hope to live a comfortable retired life. Pension plans are designed to accumulate your savings during your earning years and thereafter provide you with a regular income after retirement so that you dont have to depend on your children or society. Further, the premium payment in the case of pension plans can be made as recurring payments for a fixed period of time (regular premium) or once as a lump sum (single premium). Either way, the amount and returns thereon are cumulated and paid out to the policy holder at the retirement date as a lump sum. Part of this lump sum is then used to purchase an annuity which provides post retirement income
Benefits:
These plans are flexible as they allow you to choose your investment period, the premium amount and the premium frequency.
Reversionary bonuses are usually declared by the insurance company annually and once declared are guaranteed. There are tax benefits under various sections of the Income Tax Act, 1961. A deduction is available from the total income up to Rs 1 lakh under section 80 CCC and 80 C.
Since a part of the sum assured is received periodically, this plan combines short term financial goals with long term savings and insurance. Tax benefits under Section 80C are applicable on the premium paid. The periodic lump sums as well as maturity amount is tax free.
3) Childrens plans
Your children are your pride and joy and you would like them to have the best that money can buy. And with a sound financial plan, you can make sure that the materializing of their dreams is not hindered for want of funds. Childrens insurance policies and products are designed with this specific aim in mind. These plans set out to secure you financially against the back drop of constraints such as inflation and the rising cost of education. They help you to fund various aspirations like an overseas education, extra curricular activities, sports training, supplementary vocational education, marriage celebrations, etc. by providing a lump sum amount at a specified future date. An additional feature offered by childrens plans is that they continue to offer financial protection even in the event of the loss of the premium paying parent. This ensures that the amount envisaged is actually delivered even in the event of unforeseen eventualities.
Benefits:
Childrens insurance plans enable the parents to save money for childs future without any disturbance to the family budget. This is because the premiums can be chosen to suit the parents convenience. There are a number of options and customized products to choose from for the childs future. Reversionary bonuses are usually declared by the insurance company annually and once declared are guaranteed. Tax benefits under Section 80C are applicable on the premium paid. Certain plan options also allow the plan to continue after demise of insured parent and the insurance company continues paying the premium.
4)Endowment plans
Life is full of risks both financial and non financial. While it is difficult to eliminate the nonfinancial risks, insurance helps you to minimize the financial ones. Endowment plans are one such product. They ensure that you receive an assured amount at the end of the policy term plus bonuses, if any. If, due to unfortunate circumstances, the insured person expires during the term of the policy, the sum assured and bonuses go to the nominee. Endowment plans can be taken in the name of minors too. Benefits:
This plan helps one plan for the future of their loved ones and rest assured that finances will not be an obstacle, even in case of the insured persons demise. Reversionary bonuses are usually declared by the insurance company annually and once declared are guaranteed. Tax benefits under Section 80C are applicable on the premium paid.
5) Term plans
As the breadwinner of the family, even the best financial plan that you create can go out of gear if you are not around to meet the financial commitments it entails. With term plans, you can be sure that in the event of your unfortunate demise your family will be compensated for the financial loss to the extent that you see fit.
Term Assurance Plans are those plans where the sum assured is paid out only if the insured person dies. There is no maturity benefit under these plans. Due to this feature, the premium amount is relatively low. The premium can be paid regularly or even in a lump sum, according to the design of the plan. Such policies can be taken either on a single basis or on joint basis. Benefits:
These plans are ideal for individuals who have dependents to be taken care of. In the unfortunate event of the insured persons death, the dependents are left financially secure. The premium for such plans is very low, especially if the insured in young. The plan can be topped up with add additional features (known as riders), such as accident death cover or critical illness cover. There are tax benefits for the insured person
Benefits:
The policy stays in force as long as the insured individual continues to live and benefits remain constant during the entire coverage period of the policy. There is no need to undergo future medical examination once the policy is in force. There is also an element of tax-saving in these policies.
Those who wish to closely track their investments: Unit linked plans allow policy takers to closely monitor their portfolios.

How is it structured ?
In a Unit Linked Plan, the premiums you pay are invested in the funds chosen by you after deducting allocation charges and charges including those for managing funds, policy administration and for providing insurance cover are deducted from the funds by cancelling certain units. The value of each unit of a fund is determined by dividing the total value of the funds investments by the total number of units.
Market linked returns: Unit linked plans give you an opportunity to earn market-linked returns as part of the premiums are invested in market linked funds which invest in
different market instruments including debt instruments and equity in varying proportions.
Life protection, Investment and Savings: Unit linked plans offer the twin benefits of life insurance and savings at market-linked returns. Thus, you have the opportunity to invest your money to earn higher returns, while taking care of your protection needs.

Flexibility: Unit Linked Plans offer you a wide range of flexible options such as
o o
The option to switch between investment funds to match your changing needs. The facility to partially withdraw from your fund, subject to charges and conditions. Single premium additions to enable the policy holder to invest additional sums of money (over and above the regular premium) as and when desired, subject to conditions.
Single Premium: The policy holder is required to pay the entire premium amount as a lump sum at the beginning of the policy term. Regular Premium Payment (annually, semi-annually or monthly): The policy holder has to pay the pre-determined premium amount periodically i.e. annually, semi annually or monthly, depending upon the premium payment term opted for.
Number of Premium Paying Years: This depends on the term of the policy that you have chosen. In most cases, the policy term and the number of premium paying years (in case of regular premiums) are the same. However, some policies give the insured the option of choosing the number of premium paying years.
Charges:The following charges are deducted from your policy towards the cost of benefits and administration services provided by HDFC Standard Life Insurance
Administration charges: A fee is charged for administration of your policy every month. Administration charges are deducted by cancelling units proportionately from each of the funds you have chosen.
Fund management charges: These charges are towards meeting expenses related to managing the fund. This is charged as a percentage of the funds value and is deducted before arriving at the net asset value of the fund. Switch charges: You can switch between the funds available to suit your changing needs and goals. In a policy year, a fixed number of such switches are available free of cost. Subsequent to this, each switch would attract a certain charge. These charges are deducted by cancelling units proportionately from each of the funds you have chosen. Surrender charges: These charges are levied for premature encashment of units. They are charged as a percentage of the fund value and depend on the policy year in which the policy has been surrendered. Mortality Charges: Depending upon the age, and the amount of cover, these charges are levied towards providing a death cover to the insured. Premium Allocation Charge: This charge is deducted as a fixed percentage of the premium received, and is usually charged at a higher rate in the initial years of a policy. This charge varies depending upon whether the policy is a single premium or regular premium policy, the size of the premium, premium frequency and payment mode. Partial Withdrawal Charges: Lump sum withdrawals are allowed from the fund after the lapse of three years of the policy term and subject to pre-specified conditions. However, such withdrawals attract charges, as mentioned in the respective policy brochures.
Making withdrawals
You may also make partial withdrawals from your funds after a certain specified period, subject to a partial withdrawal charge. The withdrawal amount should be at least the minimum prescribed withdrawal amount and the fund must not fall below the minimum fund value after the withdrawal. You can make a full withdrawal of your policy before its maturity date. However, surrender charges will be applicable in this case.

5)Nearing Retirement
Your children are most probably independent and well settled by now. At this stage, your income is at its peak. You have substantial funds at your disposal to set aside for your retirement.
Your Needs
Retirement planning Your goal at this stage is to plan for your retirement. It is important to understand your true net worth and how you wish to spend your retired years. This is because even if you have not yet focused on retirement, investing wisely in the next 10-12 years can help significantly. Investments At this age you might also have substantial savings which can be invested for stable growth. You should consider investing in tax efficient instruments. Regular income post retirement You should focus on investing in those products that provide capital preservation and generate regular income to meet your post-retirement needs.
Mode of Premium payment as annual: Choosing the annual mode of payment reduces the premium cost. Insurance companies add extra charges to cover additional costs
incurred by them if you pay multiple premium rather of single yearly premium. These additional charges increase insurance cost thus ultimately increasing your premium amount.
Start at a young age: The premium of the insurance plans increases with age. At a young age, you are medically fit and physically sound. This helps in reducing the insurance cost and in turn reduces your premium amount. Tenure of the policy: The longer the term of the policy, lower will be the premium. Longer duration polices allow you to build the required corpus with smaller premiums. Do not take riders that you do not need: Additional benefits on policies come with additional charges and increase your cost of premium. You can lower premium costs by opting only for those riders that you actually need. Keep yourself Fit: Health related issues, Disability problems, Smoking and drinking habits, risky lifestyle all add to the insurance cost thus increasing insurance premium. Keep yourself healthy and fit to get the benefit of lower insurance premiums.
Insurance Myths
Insurance is for saving tax: Saving tax is just an added advantage of insurance policy; the main objective of insurance is to provide protection to you and your family and to build an assured corpus for your future needs. My group insurance is adequate: Your group insurance might be adequate but what if you change the job? Once you change the job your group insurance will cancel off and you will not get any insurance benefit. So it is always advisable to take insurance other than the insurance offered by your employer. Only the Breadwinner of the family needs insurance: Every family member needs insurance. Your work profile changes the insurance needs but certainly does not eliminate them. I'm single and don't have any dependents, therefore I don't need any coverage: You might not need a life insurance policy where your nominee is taken care of but you certainly need a policy to take care of your health and retirement worries. Life insurance is far more important than health coverage: As the health costs are increasing by the day, taking a health insurance plan has become as important as a life coverage plan. Health plans, disability plans and critical illness plans provide you with financial cushion and compensate for the financial loss you suffer in case you are not able to work because of illness. If life insurance plan secures the future of your loved ones then health coverage plan secure your own future.
