DAY 03: UNDERSTANDING LIFE INSURANCE

Life Insurance is a contractual arrangement under which an insurance company provides benefits according to the terms and conditions of the policy in exchange for premiums paid by the policyholder.

1. Premium: The amount payable by the policyholder according to the policy terms.
2. Sum Assured: The basic insured amount specified in the policy, subject to applicable terms.
3. Policy Term: The agreed duration of the policy.
4. Life Cover: Financial protection relating to the insured life, subject to policy conditions.
5. Policy Conditions and Exclusions: The terms, limitations and exceptions that must be understood before recommending a plan.
