Comparing Regular and Return of Premium Term Plans

down-arrow
January 24, 2019
Term Plans are becoming popular nowadays because they have 30-40% lower Premiums as compared to other insurance plans and has Return of Premiums (ROP) Plans for consumers who expect higher returns from their Insurance Plans.

These ROP Plans are Insurance Plans catered out to consumers who expect returns from them, which provide Death Benefits and the sum equivalent to paid premiums is returned on survival of the person insured of that fixed term.

There are many different customised ROP plans in market today that include choice of payment of premiums at once or throughout the term, Paid up Plans that cover for default on premiums after a fixed time with reduced but assured benefits, premium-free years in terms, accident and disability covers and paid add-ons to the policy.

There is also an option for consumers to opt under-writing plans instead. These under-writings are similar to Term Plans but more expensive and their premium also rises with eachadditional benefit taken upon them, but unlike Term Plans, benefits amount payable at death of the person insured or maturity of the plan, are higher.

However, Term Plans are more beneficial for consumers looking for returns because the difference in Premium amount paid, forgoes any interests earned or any benefits that could have been earned on them.

It is fixed investment for the term during which plans can change many times. A Unit-Linked Plan (ULIP) emerges as a better option in that scenario. Thus, in conclusion, Term Plans are better than ROP Plans for returns sought by a consumer.
