Try to go for Hdfc life or Tata try for 85 years coverage amount should be based on your total liabilities and annual income Max multiplier would be 20-25 times of your income . You can also go for limited premium paying term so that you will not have any burden paying premium for longer term limited term is 5-10 -15 is ideal in my opinion. I am a banker and have been selling Insurance since long

I was planning to have the cover till 65 years. Can you please help me with the logic behind cover till 85 years. My thinking behind 65 years was that if I make up to 65 years then would I or my dependents really need that Insurance money?

@Chelokebab Also, how are the Max Life and ICICI as compared to HDFC & Tata suggested by you. Many blogs have mentioned these 4 companies only, so wanted to know the reasoning behind the 2 suggested.

Buying Insurance policies from companies directly are recommended over third-party sellers like Policy Bazaar, Digit, and Acko. Claim settlement can often be problematic with these sellers. As a Maxlife insurance agent, I can set up a meeting using my official @maxlife email address. I'll offer you the best discounts available among all online aggregators and provide expert advice to address any doubts you may have. If you have already planned to go for anything apart from Maxlife for your term insurance then also i would recommend you to enquire on companies website directly and ONLY get your policy directly from company.

Clearly you are confused. Acko and digit are not third party sellers like Policybazaar. They don’t even offer life insurance. This is a sales plug.

Term Insurance Recommendation

Hello folks, I'm planning to buy a term insurance plan with a cover of Rs. 2 Cr until 65 years. I have shortlisted Max Life and TATA AIA for the same. I'm still researching more on this. What are your pointers on choosing the best plan ...
