Here are the important terms you should know about before you get your own term life insurance plan:

• Term Insurance Plan: A type of life insurance policy that provides coverage for a specified term or duration. It offers a death benefit to the nominee or beneficiary in case of the policyholder's demise before the policy term ends.

• Sum Assured: The predetermined amount of money that the insurance company pays to the nominee or beneficiary in case of the policyholder's death.

• Premium: The regular payments made by the policyholder to the insurance company to maintain the term insurance coverage.

• Policy Term: The duration for which the term insurance plan provides coverage. It can typically range from 5 years to many decades.

• Nominee: The person designated by the policyholder to receive the death benefit, in case of the policyholder's demise.

• Beneficiary: An alternate term for the nominee, referring to the individual or entity entitled to receive the death benefit.

• Maturity Benefit: In term insurance plans, there is usually no maturity benefit, as it is a pure protection plan. Therefore, there is no payout if the policyholder’s demise does not occur during the policy term.

• Riders: Optional add-ons or supplementary insurance coverage that can be attached to the base term life insurance plan to enhance protection. Such riders include the critical illness cover, accidental death benefit, waiver of premium cover, etc.

• Waiver of Premium Rider: A rider that forsakes future premium payments in the case of the policyholder’s disability or the diagnosis of a critical illness during policy term. The coverage remains in force even if premiums are not paid.

• Accidental Death Benefit Rider: A rider that provides an additional payout over and above the base sum assured if the policyholder's death occurs due to an accident.

• Critical Illness Rider: A rider that offers a lump-sum payout if the policyholder finds that they have a critical illness specified in the policy terms.

• Surrender Value: The amount that a policyholder may receive if they choose to terminate or surrender the term insurance policy before the completion of the policy term. Term insurance plans typically do not have a surrender value.

• Grace Period: A specified period after the premium due date during which the policyholder can make premium payments without the policy lapsing. This period varies from insurer to insurer.

• Policy Lapse: When the policyholder fails to pay the premium within the grace period, and the policy coverage terminates due to non-payment.

• Claim Settlement Ratio: A measure that indicates the claims settled by an insurance company compared to the total claims received. A high claim settlement ratio is generally preferred, as it indicates a company's commitment to settling valid claims.

• Free Look Period: A short period (usually 15 to 30 days) after purchasing the policy during which the policyholder can review the terms and conditions and choose to cancel the policy if not satisfied, receiving a refund of the premium paid.

• Policy Revival: The process of reinstating a lapsed policy by paying the outstanding premiums and fulfilling the insurer's requirements.
