Objective

This policy can help insured's family tide over financial turmoil in his absence.

What does it do?

This online plain term plan pays sum assured to the beneficiary in the event of death of the insured. ICICI Pru iCare offers two optional death benefits to choose from:
Option I: In case of death of the life insured, the nominee will receive sum assured.
Option II: If death occurs due to an accident, apart from the basic sum assured, this option can pay additional death benefit equal to the sum assured or Rs 50 lakh, whichever is lower.
The policy doesn't pay any maturity value on survival.
Policies following regular premium payment option cannot be surrendered, but those with single premium option can be surrendered after a year. The surrender value is calculated using the pre specified formula.

Pros

The policy offers higher sum assured to those with an outstanding home loan. There is an option to add accidental death benefit.
The policy offers lower premium rates to women.
Premiums paid qualify for tax deduction.

Suited for

This plan can save cost due to elimination of intermediaries, if you buy the policy online.

Our View

A simple term policy is recommended for everyone who has dependents. Accidental death option can be taken if you think its needed. However, it is not a replacement of personal accident policy as that can provide disability benefit as well. If you have an apt personal accident policy you can go with Option 1 of this policy.
