Rule

Cover = 10-15× annual income। ₹10 LPA: ₹1-1.5 crore cover। Term insurance (pure protection): ₹500-1,500/month for ₹1 crore (30-year-old)। LIC, HDFC Life, ICICI Prudential, Max Life: top insurers। Term plan = BEST value। Endowment/ULIP = poor investment (3-5% returns)।

Term vs Endowment

Term: ₹500-1,500/month for ₹1Cr cover। Endowment: ₹5,000-15,000/month for same cover + poor returns। Term + SIP = ALWAYS better than endowment/ULIP।
