  • Premium tends to be lower at a younger age and remains unchanged for the entire policy tenure
  • Even if you have just begun working and do not have any liabilities, buy a large cover
  • As your liabilities increase, you will not have to augment your cover at a later date
  • If you find the premium rate burdensome, go for the monthly  option.Go for an insurer with claim settlement ratio of 95 per cent or above
