What is Term Life Insurance?

One of the simplest types of life insurance, a term life plan, allows the insured to maintain the insurance costs for a fixed duration of time, called a term, post whose expiry the insured can renew the contract for another term. In the situation the insured dies during the term, the beneficiaries are entitled to a tax-free payout.
