Reliance Life Term Insurance Plans

• Reduce taxable income by up to Rs. 1,50,000 deduction under section 80C**
• Convenient payment options - annual, half-yearly, quarterly or monthly premium payments
• Do more with plans that offer pure protection, retirement planning and investment options

Protection plans or term insurance plans are the simplest kind of life insurance schemes. Under a term insurance plan, you buy a policy and pay premiums as agreed, and the policy provides a monetary cover for your life. So in case you pass away while the policy is in force, then your family or nominee will get the sum assured and related death benefits. This will ensure that even after your death you have a hand in providing and caring for your family. However, if you outlive a term insurance policy – that is, your policy reaches maturity before you die – then you will not get any benefit as a term insurance doesn’t offer maturity benefits.

Reliance Nippon Life Insurance Company is owned by Reliance Capital, with Japan’s Nippon Life Insurance having a 49% stake. Because of this, the company’s products are relevant to the Indian environment and have a global outlook. The company offers pure life protection plans as well as various other kinds of life insurance schemes. The company also offers online plans for the convenience of its internet-savvy customers.
