ICICI Pru Life Guard- Level Term Assurance
Objective
This is the first among three variants of this policy. It is a plain term insurance plan with an objective to provide financial assistance in case of death of the insured.
Our View
The maximum sum assured is capped at Rs 10 lakh, which is a very low coverage. Optional riders, if attached, widen the scope of coverage. Plain term insurance plans are the cheapest kind of life insurance available till date.
Suited for
Those looking for low insurance coverage, up to Rs 10 lakh, can consider this policy.
What does it do?
This is a plain term assurance variant of the Life Guard policy with no maturity or surrender value. The plan will pay sum assured to the nominee in case of unfortunate demise of the life insured. Waiver of premium is a valuable rider.
Pros
The policy offers riders for added protection.
A lapsed policy can be revived within 5 years from the date of lapse, a considerably long period as compared to other policies.
Premiums qualify for tax deduction under Section 80C of IT Act.
Cons
The policy is not suitable for anyone having need for a life cover higher than Rs 10 lakh.
