Our View

Accidental total and permanent disability rider is useful as it covers disability. Disability is burdensome condition when the insured loses a regular income while the medical expenses are unavoidable.
Opt for regular premium payment mode over single premium payment as single premium plan may prove to be expensive because you lock-in a large amount for a fixed cover. The reason we say this is because in case something goes wrong in early years of the policy, you have already paid a huge chunk of amount as premium to the insurance company.
