» Life Insurance Explanation
Life insurance is a contract concluded between the insurer and the buyer of the insurance policy. According to this contract the insurer agrees to pay a certain sum of money in the case of the insured’s death. In return, the policy owner (or policy payer) agrees to pay a stipulated amount called a premium at regular intervals or in lump sums (so-called "paid up" insurance). As with most insurance policies, life insurance is a contract between the insurer and the policy owner (policyholder) whereby a benefit is paid to the designated Beneficiary (or Beneficiaries) if an insured event occurs which is covered by the policy. The following insured events will be covered:
The death of the Insured.
Accidental death.
Sickness.

Specific exclusions are often written into the contract to limit the liability of the insurer; for example claims relating to suicide (after 2 years suicide has to be paid in full)(in India after one year Suicide is covered), fraud, war, riot and civil commotion.

Protection policies - designed to provide a benefit in the event of specified event, typically a lump sum payment. A common form of this design is term insurance. In investment policies regular or single premiums facilitate the sum of the benefit.
