Life Insurance

The one policy that lets your family sleep peacefully.

If you have anyone who depends on your income — spouse, kids, ageing parents — life insurance is non-negotiable. A pure term plan replaces your earning potential for a fraction of a percent of it. We help you pick the right cover amount, right tenure and right insurer — without the sales-driven ULIP push most agents default to.

Our approach

How we do this differently

Principles we don't compromise on — even when a shortcut looks tempting.

Term before anything else

Cheapest per-lakh cover. Pure protection. We recommend term as the foundation for 95% of families before considering anything savings-linked.

The right cover, not the maximum cover

Rule of thumb: 15–20x annual income + all outstanding loans − existing assets. Not a random ₹1cr figure.

Claim-settlement first, premium second

We only recommend insurers with claim-settlement ratios above 97%. Cheap premiums mean nothing if the claim gets rejected.

Disclosure discipline

Every medical condition, income source and habit is disclosed. Non-disclosure is the #1 reason claims get rejected — we don't play that game.

The menu

Sub-categories inside Life Insurance

Every one of these is available — we recommend only what actually fits your situation.

Term insurance

Pure protection at the lowest cost. ₹1cr cover often costs less than a monthly OTT bundle.

Essential

Return-of-premium term

Costlier variant that returns premiums if you survive. We rarely recommend it — mostly for peace-of-mind buyers.

Optional

Endowment / Money-back

Traditional savings + insurance. Suits ultra-conservative long-term savers only.

Conservative

ULIP

Market-linked cover. Considered only when tax structure and 10+ year horizon truly fit.

Selective

Child plans

Guaranteed corpus tied to your child's education milestones — with waiver-of-premium rider.

Legacy

Retirement / Annuity

Deferred and immediate annuities for guaranteed monthly income post-retirement.

Costs & transparency

No hidden fees. No side commissions we hide from you.

Premium

Paid directly to the insurer. A healthy 30-year-old male gets ₹1cr term cover from ~₹800/month.

Our commission

Standard IRDAI-mandated commission, embedded in your premium. We disclose the exact percentage in your quote.

No hidden fees

No advisory fee, no fitness fee, no 'processing charges'. What you see in the illustration is what you pay.

Common questions

Life Insurance — everything people ask us

How much cover do I really need?

As a rule: 15–20x your annual income plus outstanding loans, minus liquid assets. For a 35-year-old earning ₹15L with a ₹40L home loan, that's roughly ₹2.5–3cr.

Term or ULIP?

For 95% of buyers, term. ULIPs mix insurance and investment — usually doing both jobs poorly. Buy term, invest the difference in mutual funds.

Which insurer has the best claim record?

We track IRDAI's annual claim-settlement ratios. LIC, HDFC Life, Max Life and ICICI Pru consistently score above 98%. We share the current data before recommending.

Should I hide my smoking / medical condition?

Never. Non-disclosure gets the claim rejected. Honest disclosure raises premium ~30% but keeps the claim valid — a much better trade.

What is a rider — do I need one?

Riders add specific covers (accident, critical illness, disability). We recommend Waiver-of-Premium and Critical Illness riders selectively.

Can I buy term insurance online myself?

Yes, and it's often cheaper. But underwriting rejects happen — our value shows up in navigating those, and at claim time.

What happens at claim time?

Your nominee calls us. We coordinate the claim form, documentation, hospital records and insurer follow-up until the amount is credited. Every single claim we've handled has been paid.
