SBI Life offers a range of term insurance policies that vary on the basis of their features and benefits. Read this article to find out what are some of the popular term insurance products offered by SBI Life.
In this day and age, having a life insurance policy is most essential. When you consider how quickly the cost of living is rising, the loss of an income-earning individual can leave the family in a financial turmoil. To prevent such an instance from arising, it is advised to have a safety net - in the form of insurance - in place. Term insurance (a type of life insurance) is among the most preferred options for insurance among people seeking high cover at low premiums. As it does not have a cash value, its rates are lesser when compared with other life insurance products.
SBI Life - one of the leading life insurance providers in India - offers a range of term insurance policies to customers. These policies are tailored to provide financial security to the loved ones of the life assured, in the event of his or her demise during the policy period. While the term plans offer only death benefits, policyholders can enhance their coverage by attaching riders (optional) to their base plan.
