Why do I need Life Insurance?

Saturday, December 26th, 2009

Insurance is the most overlooked subject in India. Unfortunately, people think of insurance only as a tax saving instrument. Based on my intereactions with people across Bangalore I can safely conclude that most people feel that the worst can never happen to them and they should not block or waste their money in insurance. I wonder if people know the exact date and time when they are not going to be around. How much ever we may want that to be the case but God and nature have their own ways. None of us can predict that “End-of-life”.

Fortunately, what we can predict with ease though is the condition / state-of-affairs of the people who will be left when we are not around. It is a nasty thing to think about – I agree. But trust me, it is a subject which needs to be thought about. A smart individual and investor is a person who can safeguard the interests of his family both when he is around and when he is not.

Why do I need Life Insurance or any insurance for that matter is a lengthy subject to be discussed with multiple dimensions attached to it. So, I’ll try to cover this aspect over several of my posts.

What is life insurance?

Saturday, December 26th, 2009

An individual’s life is subject to risks – risks of death and disability. These risks could be because of natural or accidental causes. Loss of an individual’s life or any form of disablement more often than not results in a loss of income to the household. The family is put to hardship. Sometimes, survival itself is at stake for the dependants. Risks are unpredictable and so is death/disability. Unpleasant events may occur when one expects them the least. An obvious question at this point in time is – how do I protect myself ? And an obvious answer would be start thinking of your actual worth and protect yourself against any such contingencies through life insurance.

Though human life cannot be valued, a monetary sum could be determined which is based on current income, current lifestyle and income required to maintain a similar lifestyle in future years. Life insurance products provide a definite amount of money to the dependants of the insured in case the life insured dies during his active income earning period or becomes disabled on account of an accident causing reduction/complete loss in his income earnings. On a brighter side, life insurance can be a good way of getting guaranteed returns and pension when an individual’s prime earning years have passed.
