What Is 'Life Insurance'?
Life insurance is a contract that pledges payment of an amount to the person as nominee on the happening of the event insured against.
The contract is valid for payment of the insured amount during:
• The date of maturity, or
• Specified dates at periodic intervals, or
• Unfortunate death, if it occurs earlier.
Further,the contract also provides for the payment of premium periodically by the policy holder. Life insurance eliminates 'risk' and it substitutes certainty for uncertainty and becomes timely aid of the family in the unfortunate event of death of the breadwinner.By and large, life insurance is civilisation's partial solution to the problems caused by unforeseen events.
Life insurance, in short, is concerned with two hazards that stand across the life of a person:
1. That of dying prematurely leaving a dependent family to live for itself
2. That of living till old age without proper means of support.
