HDFC Home Loan Protection
Objective
This term insurance policy aims to settle outstanding home loan in the unfortunate event of death of the borrower.
Our View
As the name suggests, this plan is suitable for those who have a home loan liability to repay. Home loan plan is beneficial as it allows family members to have their own house without fear of paying outstanding loan if something unfortunate happens to the insured person. Check if the interest rates offered by the policy matches with rate of interest on your loan to get an adequate coverage. Buy a policy that falls in your budget.
Suited for
Those with a loan liability or looking to take a loan can go for this policy.
What does it do?
This policy covers home loan liability. Insurer will pay the outstanding loan amount, if the policyholder dies. The policy reduces the sum assured with decline in home loan liability. The premium can be paid either as a single installment or added in loan amount and paid as repayment of home loan.
Pros
Declining sum assured prevents policyholder from paying high premiums against a cover that will not be required, when the loan is repaid.
It offers two types of premium payment modes. If the insured person cannot pay the premiums in a single go, he can add it to his loan amount.
