Term insurance is a basic type of life insurance that offers a lump sum benefit to the policyholder’s family. This benefit is called the Death Benefit and is availed on the death of the insured individual if the coverage period is still applicable. As term insurance doesn’t have any frills, it is very affordable. However, insurance providers offer insurance riders that provide supplementary benefits to the policyholders.
