Term insurance plans have become a popular choice for many, thanks to the affordable premium rates and high coverage offered by these plans. Since term insurance plans are purely protection-oriented, they only offer a death benefit to the nominee upon the policyholder’s death. Thus, the policyholder will not receive any payout at maturity of the policy or in the form of survival benefits during the policy term.
