If you\u2019re out buying a home using a home loan<\/a>, you might already have dealt with lenders pushing you to take their loan protection plan. Though not mandatory, having mortgage insurance can help you stay afloat in times of financial distress. Plus, it provides assurance to the lender as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But how does it work? Well, let\u2019s find out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Loan insurance: How it works<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Like health insurance helps you cover hospital bills, mortgage insurance helps you or your family cover your loan EMIs in case of your unfortunate demise, disability, or loss of job. The insurance provider, based on your coverage, will settle the remaining amount with the loan provider. This way, both you and your lender are protected. Plus, the burden of debt will never fall on your family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, mortgage insurance isn\u2019t the option available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Term insurance: What it is and how it works<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Term insurance is another option you can go for in case you don\u2019t find a loan protection plan suitable. In term insurance, the insurance provider will pay a lump sum amount upon your death to your beneficiary or dependant, who, in turn, can use it to clear your loan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like loan insurance, term insurance also doesn\u2019t provide any maturity benefit. Though both work in essentially the same way, there are certain differences between the two options. Read on to find out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Term insurance Vs home loan insurance<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When it comes to cost, the premium for a mortgage loan is higher than a term insurance policy. In terms of coverage, a term plan provides a death benefit that you can use for any purpose. In contrast, a mortgage loan will only cover your loan repayments and nothing else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, as you repay your loan, the sum insured for a mortgage loan keeps decreasing until it becomes zero on complete repayment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moreover, if you aren\u2019t happy with your home loan interest rates<\/a> or loan terms and wish to switch lenders, you won\u2019t be able to transfer the loan insurance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lastly, to get the insurance benefits, you have to pay regular premiums for term insurance. As a result, you can claim tax on the premiums under section 80C. In contrast, since mortgage insurance is a one-time payment, you can\u2019t avail of any tax benefits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over to you<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In terms of price, a term insurance plan is the best choice when compared to mortgage insurance. Plus, with term insurance, you also get flexibility when using the sum insured. With the added tax benefits, term insurance is undoubtedly the insurance of choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
