ESG
Buying a home is a major life goal for most of us. Easier access to digital mortgage plans and customisable repayment schedules have made it possible for millions of Indians to fulfil their dreams of owning a house. Given that mortgage tenures usually range from 20 to 30 years, it is important to structure the right EMI plan for stress-free loan repayments. However, it is equally important to plan for a contingency if something unforeseeable were to happen before the loan is settled.
Home loan protection plans safeguard you and your family’s interest in the asset, and so does a term plan.
So, should you opt for a home loan cover policy or just go with a simple term cover? Before you know how to secure a home loan coverage or a term insurance policy, here is a quick look at their different features and benefits to help you make the right decision.
Scope of coverage
While both policies provide financial assistance, a home loan insurance plan exclusively covers the liability due on the property. In contrast, a term plan can offer coverage for various other family needs.
Sum assured
The value of coverage on a home insurance plan is equivalent to the outstanding liability on the home loan. In the case of a term plan, policyholders are free to select a cover that can help the family settle all liabilities and fulfil other life goals such as children’s education or creating a retirement cushion for the spouse.
Beneficiary
With home loan insurance plans, the mortgage agency is the beneficiary. If the borrower is unable to repay the loan owing to loss of income, disability, or untimely death, the outstanding amount on the loan is paid out to the lender. In the case of a term plan, the beneficiary is a nominee of your choice, usually a spouse, child, or parent.
Tenure
The tenure of a home loan protection insurance is equivalent to the tenure of the loan. Once the loan is repaid, the tenure ends. A term plan can be taken for a tenure of your choice till the age you have responsibilities and/or debt(s) to repay.
What should be your choice?
Take the decision between a dedicated home loan insurance cover or a term plan after considering all the above factors. If you already have a term plan for your family, you may not be eligible for another based on Human Life Value (HLV) calculations and will have to opt for a home loan cover instead.
Conversely, if you have the financial means to service premium payments for a term cover that will take care of your home loan and other family needs or goals, you can save the trouble of having multiple insurance policies by assigning the existing policy for covering home loan.
