Kotak Preferred Term Plan

	Objective		This is an offline term insurance policy that aims to help family members avoid a financial crisis which could hit the family on death of the breadwinner.
What does it do?		This term plan pays sum assured to the nominee on unfortunate demise of the insured. Policyholder can convert the policy into another plan offered by Kotak (except another term plan), provided the policy has 5 years to maturity. Single premium policies can be surrendered in case of an emergency. The surrender value will be calculated on the basis of a pre specified formula.
Pros		Women and non-tobacco users can avail reduced premium rates. Policyholder has an option to convert the plan.
Cons		Riders can be added only at the time of purchasing the policy.
Suited for		This is an offline policy hence is more useful for those who prefer to buy through traditional channels like agents.
Our View		Term plans are the best kind of life insurance available. If you cannot buy a policy without agent's assistance, you may take this policy. However, if you are comfortable with online purchases, look for online policies as they have lower premium rates. Although there is a single premium option available in the plan, which also comes with surrender value, we would recommend you to avoid it. Single premium plan may prove to be expensive as compared to regular premium payment option as you lock-in a large amount for a fixed cover. The reason we say this is because in case something goes wrong in early years of the policy, you have already paid a huge chunk of amount as premium to the insurance company.
