    Study Notes

    Life Insurance Policy Types and Features

    • A single premium policy requires only one premium payment, not multiple annual payments.
    • A policy fee is a fixed amount added to a premium, irrespective of the policy size.
    • To calculate required premiums, knowledge of the applicant's age, chosen plan, and desired face amount is essential.
    • For other premium payment modes, the annual premium is multiplied by a conversion factor corresponding to the payment mode.

    Contractual Parties and Responsibilities

    • In a life insurance contract where a father insures his child, the father is termed the applicant-owner.
    • Life insurance contracts primarily involve the insurance company and the insured.

    Claim Settlements and Benefits

    • If a policyholder dies accidentally within two years of purchasing a policy, the insurance company typically pays the face amount.
    • Insurance dividends are not guaranteed; policyholders should be informed of this fact.

    Financial Aspects of Life Insurance

    • A portion of the premium paid is invested, influencing premium calculations, known as interest.
    • The advantage of insurance lies in spreading economic losses over a larger population.

    Insurance Contributions and Measurements

    • Life insurance contributes to national welfare by accumulating capital, relieving community burdens, and encouraging future provisions.
    • Life expectancy represents the average number of years individuals of a certain age are predicted to live, as determined by mortality tables.

    Types of Insurance Plans

    • An insurance plan that includes both protection and savings is labeled a Permanent Plan.
    • For maximum protection on a budget, Term Insurance is the most effective choice.
    • A participating plan entitles policyholders to receive dividends.

    Policy Specifics and Options

    • The Ordinary Life plan offers the longest duration of protection.
    • A 20 Yr. Endowment policy allows payment of benefits if the insured survives the term.
    • A 20 Life policy provides protection until age 100, with premium payments made only for 20 years.

    Additional Policy Information
