Insurance Policy: We all face some financial losses. Find out exactly what kind of losses you may face.  

 

Insurance Policy: Even if you buy an insurance policy with the future in mind, many times you have to surrender the policy before the maturity date. In that case, we have to face some financial loss. Find out exactly what kind of loss you may face.  

Why do we take the path of insurance?
We need an insurance policy in emergency financial situations. So we pay the premium for the policy every month or once in advance. For some reason, if the main earner of the family dies, a problem arises. In this case, the insurance customer has to surrender the policy before the maturity date. Later, we have to suffer the consequences.

Loss if you close the policy before the completion of the term
If you surrender the policy before the completion of the term for any reason, you will get the money immediately. However, for this, the policy holder also has to face some financial losses. In an interview with Business Today, Hanut Mehta (Co-founder and CEO of BimaPay Finsure) said that in case of such sudden need, insurance policy companies offer to take a loan instead of surrendering the policy.

In such a case, the insurance company gives the policyholder the remaining funds after deducting the interest on the loan. This means that if you take a loan in this way, the amount of financial loss is reduced and you get all the benefits of the insurance now that the policy has completed its term. 

What benefits will you not get if you surrender early?
If you surrender the policy before the completion of its term for any reason, you will not get the nominee death benefit. In addition, the family will be deprived of the entire policy amount and bonus. Therefore, the policy amount should be withdrawn after the completion of the term.

How much surrender value is available?
The value of the policy at the time of surrender will be 30 percent of the premium paid. This is how insurance companies charge surrender charges, which depend on the total premium paid. This surrender value also varies from insurance company to company. In many such policies, you will also get tax deductions. Therefore, consider surrendering before the policy term is complete.
