Opting For Life Insurance After Retirement HDFC Life

Opting For Life Insurance After Retirement HDFC Life
November 05, 2018

We all want to lead a fulfilled life. And to attain that fulfilment, we plan our finances well in advance. The fact that there could be responsibilities even post retirement, and the pension money might not cover all your expenses, brings us to the point of how life insurances are a must even after retirement. Here are five reasons why they are important:

  1. Since till now you have been the financial support for your family, it is obvious after retirement too, you may have dependents. And, in such scenarios a life insurance comes to the financial aid.
  2. You may have a special needs child who will need your support even after you retire. Moreover, the medical and any other expenses of a special needs child can be quite huge. A life insurance comes to your rescue in those financial emergencies.
  3. You may have a pension that does not have a beneficiary option. Hence, on your death, your spouse might not be able to avail the benefits. Therefore, life insurance becomes an obvious choice to support your spouse or dependents on your death by providing the requisite financial aid.
  4. There could be instalments to be paid off even after your retirement. It could be vehicle or mortgage debts or any other. A life insurance can take care of paying off those debts.
  5. A life insurance can also be a good way to leave behind something for your heirs or some donation that you would like to make to a charitable after you die.

Whether you wish to work even after retirement, or want to travel around the world, it is your choice. So is choosing a life insurance. The above five things are scenarios can change too.
