Human life is unpredictable and thus a person need to plan about his future as there may be a loss of income to the household. An individual can protect himself or herself against such contingencies through life insurance. Though Human life can not be valued but it is always better to have protection against uncertainties in life & protection required can be reached through loss of future cash inflows.There are different types of life insurance product which not only provides protection but also return on money invested in such policies.

Investment Plans
Investment plan provides an optimal mix of insurance and investments, thus protecting your family against any odds and building a corpus for your future. The idea of investment plan is to provide regular long-term savings and systematic accumulation of wealth.
Child Plans
Child insurance plans have traditionally played an important role in securing the child's future. Child plan is specially designed to meet the increasing educational and other needs of growing children. Today, providing a good education, establishing a professional carrier, securing a good future etc. can be done with the help of these plans.
Term Insurance Plans
Term insurance plans are pure form of insurance. It is low-cost insurance that is valid only for a stated period of time and has no cash surrender value. You can avail high insurance with very low premiums. Some insurance companies have also come up with Term Insurance policies with premium return features to make these plans more attractive to customers.
Endowment Insurance Plans
An endowment policy is a combination of insurance and investment. Under a plain vanilla endowment plan, the policyholder pays regular premiums for the policy term. If the policyholder dies during the policy term, the nominee gets the death benefit i.e. the sum assured and accumulated bonuses. On survival, the policyholder gets a survival benefit, including vested bonus and terminal bonus, if any.
Money Back Insurance Plans
Money back policies provide for periodic payments of partial survival benefits during the term of the policy so long as the policyholder is alive. An important feature of this type of policies is that in the event of death at any time within the policy term, the death claim comprises full sum assured without deducting any of the survival benefit amounts, which may have already been paid as money-back components. Similarly, the bonus is also calculated on the full sum assured.
Whole Life Insurance Plans
A whole life policy provides coverage for the entire life of the policyholder (provided he/she continues to make premium payments). When the policyholder dies his/her beneficiaries receive the death benefit. Unlike term life insurance, which covers the contract holder until a specified age limit, a traditional whole life policy covers till the person is alive. Unlike term life insurance, which covers the contract holder until a specified age limit, a traditional whole life policy never runs out.
Unit Linked Insurance Plans
A Unit Linked Insurance Plan (ULIP) is a life insurance policy that provides a combination of risk cover and investment. Since investments are linked to the dynamics of the capital market, client has risk attached to such investments. In simple words, it gives protection along with return on investment.
