Term insurance is a pure life insurance product, which provides financial protection to the policyholder. In case of death of the insured during the policy period, the beneficiary receives a death benefit as defined under the chosen term insurance plan.
A basic variant of term insurance has no cash value which means, if the insured person survives the term of the policy, the policy does not return any value, with the exceptions of plans like Return on Premium etc.
You can purchase a term insurance policy which can provide a certain corpus to your dependents in event of your demise, they would be able to sustain the same lifestyle or pay off existing liabilities without compromising on their dreams thanks to the sum assured which they would receive from life insurance.
