00:00Insurance can save lives. But seriously, life insurance and term insurance can help
00:11your family a lot. They may not meet your needs, but they can give you financial stability
00:19and help you save tax. So today, in Nagariya ki Nagariya, we will understand the difference
00:26between term insurance and life insurance.
00:29Life insurance, as the name suggests, is a policy that gives you lifelong protection.
00:36These plans not only cover your life, but also give you savings.
00:40That's why they are a little more expensive than pure term plans.
00:44In life insurance plans, the premium is divided into two parts.
00:48First, death benefit. This part is used to give death benefit to the nominees.
00:53If the policyholder dies, the nominees get a fixed corpus amount.
00:58This also comes with assured maturity benefits and bonuses are also included in it.
01:05The second part of the premium is allocated for investment and saving components.
01:10This generates returns and benefits in the future.
01:13These plans are very flexible. You can take a loan against the policy,
01:19make partial withdrawals, and pay additional premiums.
01:24Additional premiums give you more benefits.
01:27For example, let's say a 31-year-old buys a policy worth Rs. 1 crore
01:33and pays a premium of Rs. 80,000 every year.
01:36In the next 20 years, the policy's cash value can increase to Rs. 25 lakh.
01:40This cash value can also be used to take a loan.
01:43If the policyholder dies, the nominee gets Rs. 1 crore.
01:48Likewise, life insurance not only provides financial security to you and your family,
01:54but also offers options for savings and investment.
01:58You can also think of it as leaving a legacy for your children.
02:03Term insurance is a type of life insurance.
02:07It is valid only for a specific term, like 10, 20, or 30 years.
02:12In this plan, cash is not accumulated.
02:15That's why it's basically a protection plan.
02:18Let's say a person is ABC.
02:20He has taken term insurance for 30 years at the age of 20.
02:24If ABC turns 50, he won't get any benefits on his maturity.
02:30So what's the point of taking term insurance?
02:33It's simple.
02:34Term plans have a lot of insured amounts and very low premiums.
02:40This means that ABC's family will be able to take financial support and survive even after his death.
02:47If ABC takes term insurance in his 20s, the premium is also very low.
02:53This premium is very high when taking life insurance.
02:56ABC can invest the remaining amount and build his own corpus.
03:01There can be some financial reasons as well.
03:04Because of which ABC is not able to give a premium of life insurance every month.
03:09That's why term insurance is a good option.
03:12In short, term insurance is an affordable and effective way to get financial protection.
03:18It's also good for people who don't need cash accumulation.
03:23There are different types of life insurance besides term insurance.
03:27Let's give everyone a quick quiz.
03:30Endowment Life
03:32Endowment Life Insurance Policy is a life insurance policy that combines life coverage and savings.
03:40If the policyholder dies during the term, the nominee gets some assured or death benefit.
03:47And if the policyholder survives even after the term, they get a maturity benefit.
03:53Which can include some bonuses along with some assured.
03:57Unit-linked Insurance Plan
03:59Unit-linked Insurance Plan or ULIPS
04:01This is a type of life insurance plan that combines life cover and investment options.
04:07ULIPS plan allows you to invest in different asset classes.

04:15ULIPS has a lock-in period of 5 years.
04:19But you can switch your funds at any time.

04:38This is a blend of savings and insurance.
