10 WAYS TO


STAY FULLY
INSURED

Ascertain life insurance
requirement based on the future
value of your goals and
current liabilities.


Thumb rule is that you need a
life cover of at least 10-15 times
your annual income until you
retire your liabilities and
achieve your goals.

Take additional cover
whenever you add a big
liability such as a home loan
or an auto loan.

Do not delay buying insurance
as premium is low when
you are young.

Compare and buy
online as online plans are
cost-effective.

Choose the premium payment
term of your liking. Opt for
limited pay if you do not want to
pay until you retire.

Do not hide any relevant fact
when buying a policy.
Disclose all medical
conditions and habits.

Choose a payout option (lump
sum or staggered) based on
dependents’ requirement.

Keep revisiting your insurance
requirement every year and add
a cover if needed.

When the goals against which
you have taken insurance are
achieved, you can reduce the
cover to that extent.
