Max Life Online Term Plan Plus

Max Life Online Term Plan Plus

Max Life Online Term Plan Plus is another plan which is popular with customers. Being a term insurance plan, it offers large cover at low premiums. The plan is aggressively priced and offers 3 basic variants. Of course, you can add riders to make the term plan very comprehensive.

 

Our expert  Deepak Yohannan's thoughts on Max Life Online Term Plan Plus Plan. 

The plan has 3 variants to choose from:

1. Basic Life Cover - Nominee will get the Sum Assured on death of the policyholder
2. Basic Life Cover + Monthly Income - Nominee will get the Sum Assured on death of the policyholder + nominee will get a monthly income of 0.4% of Sum Assured for the next 10 years
3. Basic Life Cover + Increasing Monthly Income - Nominee will get the Sum Assured on death of the policyholder + nominee will get a monthly income of 0.4% of Sum Assured for the next 10 years. The monthly income increases by 10% simple interest every year.

We will understand these variants better with the help of examples later.

All the above variants have these attractive additional benefits which can be taken to make the plan more comprehensive and offers you some flexibility. You may need to pay extra premiums for these benefits.
 

1. Pay til 60 - You can choose to pay till the age of 60 years and enjoy the life cover till the end of the policy term. Basically make premium payments only in your working days and enjoy the cover without any financial burden in your retirement days. Good option in my opinion. 
2. Option to increase cover amount at important milestones - You have the option to increase your life cover once you are married, when you have children or when you are taking a home loan. This option needs to be selected at the time of making the purchase. Then as and when you increase the cover, additional premium would be calculated basis your age and amount of additional cover.
3. Accelerated Critical Illness Benefit - On being diagnosed with a list of 40 critical illnesses, you will get 50% of the Sum Assured (max 50 lakhs) and the balance cover will continue. You don’t have to pay any of the future premiums. I strongly recommend taking this.
