The earlier you buy a term plan, the better it is. In today’s world, where lifestyle related illnesses are becoming more and more common each day, it’s always better to be secure beforehand. Also, term insurance premiums increase with age. For example, for ₹ 1 Crore cover amount, premiums for a 30-year-old, non-smoker male would amount to ₹ 885 p.m. for a 30-year policy duration of ICICI Pru iProtect Smart - Life option with regular pay and regular income payout option. The premium increases to ₹ 1,784 p.m. if the policy is bought at age 40. It is important to note that the premiums get fixed at the age you purchase the policy, for the entire policy duration. Buying early can thus help you lock lower premiums for the entire policy term. There are also lower chances of your policy getting rejected if you buy earlier.
Many companies today provide insurance cover for their employees. However, it is advisable to get an individual policy for yourself for the following reasons:
- Not enough cover – The cover provided by company’s life insurance policy (generally ₹ 10-15 Lakh) may not always be sufficient to sustain your family in case something happens to you.
- Will lose coverage if you change your job – This coverage is dependent on your job. If you leave the job, the insurance cover ends then and there, till you join a new job. The period between the end of the old job and the start of the new one would be without cover.
- Standard policy for all employees, not customized to your needs – The life insurance policies provided by your employer are standardized policies which are not customized according to your specific needs and don’t generally contain any provisions for critical illness, terminal illness and disabilities.
Hence, even if you are covered under your company’s group policy, you may still buy a separate term plan with a life cover that is at least 10-15 times your annual income to make sure your family is able to sustain their current standard of living and is adequately provided for in your absence.

Term insurance is a simple form of life insurance. It provides financial protection to your family at the most affordable rates. With term insurance, you can get a large life cover (i.e. sum assured) at a relatively low premium rate. The benefit amount is paid out to the nominee in case of death of the person insured during the term of the policy.
While traditional life insurance plans have both a protection and an investment component, term insurance plans are pure protection plans that don’t give any payout on surviving the policy term. However, as compared to traditional insurance plans, term plans have the advantage of providing large sum assured coverage at much more affordable rates.
In today’s uncertain times, it is important to ensure your dependents are financially protected even if you are not around. Buying a term plan is a simple and cost-effective way to do this. With term insurance, you can get a large amount of life cover at a relatively low premium rate. You can get a ₹ 1 Crore life cover starting at just ₹ 490 per month2, which is less than half the cost you would typically pay for an outing with your family. The benefit amount will be paid to the nominee in case of death of the person insured during the term of the policy.

Also, once you buy the policy, you stay covered whether you are in India or abroad.
The premium amount is decided based on your age, gender and smoking status, along with the life cover amount, policy term, payment mode and payout option selected by you. Premiums are calculated at the time of purchase and remain fixed throughout the policy term.
The life cover you need depends on your current annual income. We recommend getting a life cover that is at least 10-15 times your annual income to provide for a safe future for your dependents. You can opt for monthly premium payment option instead of a yearly premium commitment too. However, it is important to have a sufficient life cover so that your family’s financial security is not compromised.

You should get a policy till your retirement age. But financial liabilities can continue beyond retirement too. ICICI Pru’s term plan also gives you the option to get a whole life plan till the age of 99 years. It will be cheaper to buy a policy for a longer term now than to purchase another one later.
ICICI Pru’s term plan comes with two in-built benefits:
- Terminal Illness Benefit: You receive 100% claim payout in case you contract a terminal illness3
- Permanent Disability Benefit: All your future premiums are waived off while your policy continues if you get a permanent disability5
Refer to our brochure to know more about these benefits.
There are two additional benefit options available with ICICI Pru’s term plan:
- Critical Illness Cover: This is an optional benefit the customer can purchase wherein he/she receives a pre-determined claim amount in case of diagnosis of any of 34 specified critical illnesses##. No bills or proof of expenditure4 is required. There is also no restriction of network hospitals. You can use the claim amount to get a treatment of your choice or however else you deem fit. This benefit is accelerated and not additional, which means the policy will continue with the Death Benefit reduced by the extent of the critical illness benefit paid.
- Accidental Death Cover9: This is another optional benefit wherein an additional cover is payable in case of death due to accident. The maximum cover that can be availed is ₹ 2 Crore.
If you are ever diagnosed with a critical illness, it can not only affect you physically and emotionally but also financially. A critical illness can cause you to leave your job temporarily or permanently and lose out on your income.
ICICI Pru iProtect Smart offers the optional benefit of covering yourself against 34 Critical Illnesses## such as cancer, heart attack and kidney failure by paying just a little extra premium. The best part about this benefit is that you receive the full claim payout on the first diagnosis of any of the covered 34 Critical Illnesses. No hospital bills are needed, nor is there any restriction of getting treated at network hospitals. This claim amount can not only be used for a treatment of your choice but also safeguard your family against the loss of income arising out of the illness.
Did You Know: 33%$$ of our online customers purchase the optional critical illness benefit with their policy.
Traditional health insurance plans (mediclaim policies) only reimburse the medical expenses you incur during hospitalization. They might not cover all diseases and generally have a longer waiting period for certain diseases.
A critical illness cover, on the other hand, covers severe life-threatening diseases like cancer, heart attack, kidney failure, etc. You get the entire claim amount as soon as you are diagnosed, irrespective of the actual expenses incurred. You can then use this amount for a treatment of your choice, without having to run around to get your reimbursement later on. There is no restriction of network hospitals either. The claim amount from critical illness cover can not only be used for your treatment but also to help cope up with the loss of income while you recover. As such, you are advised to get a critical illness cover that is 2 times of your annual income to make sure you and your family are financially protected in case you contract a serious illness.
The minimum Critical Illness benefit you can choose is ₹ 1 Lakh and the maximum benefit is ₹ 1 Crore. The cost of medical treatment is continuously rising. So it is recommended to have a critical illness cover that is at least 2 times of your current annual income.
The Critical Illness benefit amount is payable immediately if and when you are diagnosed for the first time with any of the 34 critical illnesses## covered by ICICI Pru iProtect Smart. A copy of the diagnosis report is required to initiate the critical illness claim and it is payable basis fulfillment of definition of the diagnosed critical illness.
This benefit is accelerated and not additional, which means the policy will continue with the Death Benefit reduced by the extent of the critical illness benefit paid.
Refer to our brochure for more details.
The policy continues with the life cover reduced by the amount paid out for the critical illness claimed. The premiums to be paid are also accordingly reduced.
Accidental Death Cover is an optional benefit available under ICICI Pru iProtect Smart which provides the nominee with a higher payout in case of death of the person insured due to an accident. The maximum benefit that can be taken in this case is ₹ 2 Crore. Accidental Death Benefit is only applicable up to age of 80. You can chose to add this benefit to your policy anytime during the term of your policy.
An accidental death can have an involvement of additional costs. It is therefore wise to opt for additional cover in case of death due to accident so that your family is adequately protected in your absence.
Did you know: 35%$$ of our customers purchase the optional accidental death benefit along with their policies.
The minimum Accidental Death benefit you can choose is ₹ 1 Lakh. The maximum benefit will be up to the basic life cover subject to maximum of ₹ 2 Crore, as per the company policy. We recommend you get a minimum of ₹ 50 Lakh accidental death cover to make sure your family is financially protected in case you die in an accident. Please note that Accidental Death benefit is offered at flat rates, e.g. a ₹ 50 Lakh Accidental Death benefit comes for just ₹ 287 p.a., whatever your profile is.
The premium amount is decided based on your age, gender and smoking status, along with the life cover amount, policy term, payment mode and payout option selected by you. Premiums are calculated at the time of purchase and remain fixed throughout the policy term.
No, the premium for the entire policy term is fixed at the time you purchase the policy. The tax component (GST) may change as per Government of India regulations or applicable tax laws.
Yes, as a smoker you present a greater risk of death than a non-smoker. Hence, premium rates for smokers are higher than that of non-smokers.
We have 3 payment terms available:
- • Regular pay where you pay for the entire policy term
- • Limited pay where you pay for only 5 years, 7 years, 10 years, till the age of 60 years and policy term – 5 years
- • Single pay where you pay the entire premium in one go (Note – max policy term available with single pay option is 20 years)
Limited Pay is a great option wherein the customer pays premium for a limited period while enjoying the benefits of the plan for the entire policy term. This lets you free from the burden of paying premiums early on while keeping your family secured for a long period of time. While the premiums to be paid are slightly higher than regular pay; with the limited pay option, you can end up saving up to 65%** on total premiums paid.
Although you can pay for the entire policy term, we suggest that you pay your premiums till the time you are earning. If you are young, it would be wise to go for a 5, 7 or 10 year limited pay and get done with paying premiums before more responsibilities get added on to your life. If you are 35 or above, you can choose limited pay till 60 years, i.e. retirement.
You can choose to pay the premiums monthly, half-yearly or yearly. Paying yearly helps you save 2.5% on your premium payments7.
Yes, you can.
The various payment methods available for online payment of premiums include credit card, debit card, net banking, UPI, Google Pay, Amazon Pay and other popular payment wallets.
A grace period for payment of premium of 15 days applies for monthly premium payment mode and 30 days for other modes of premium payment. If the premium is not paid within the grace period, the policy shall lapse and cover shall cease.
You can choose from four flexible payout options:
- Lump sum – entire claim payout at once
- Monthly income –payout in equal monthly instalments
- Increasing income – claim payout in monthly instalments that increase by 10% every year
- Lump sum + Income – one large payout at once and remaining in monthly instalments
Under lump sum payout, the entire life cover amount is paid to your nominee in one go. This is the most preferred option for our online buyers and is especially helpful if you have a large outstanding loan to be paid off like a home loan.
Under the monthly income plan, 10% of the benefit amount is payable to your nominee every year for 10 years. This is paid in equal monthly instalments, in advance, at the rate of 0.83333% of the total benefit amount. This is the most economical payout option. You can choose this option if you want your family to receive a regular monthly income.
Under the increasing monthly income plan, the benefit amount is payable in monthly instalments for 10 years starting with 10% of the benefit amount per annum in the first year. The income amount will increase by 10% per annum simple interest every year thereafter. This payout option gives 45% more life cover. For example, if your life cover is ₹ 1 Ccrore, then your family will receive ₹ 10 Lakh in the first year, ₹ 11 Lakh in the second year, ₹ 12 Lakh in the third year and so on for 10 years. This way, at the end of the 10th year, the total life cover received will be ₹ 1.45 Crore. This option is useful if you would like to account for inflation and the rising cost of living.
Under the new lump sum plus income option, you have the flexibility to split the life cover amount that you want your nominee to receive as lump sum and the remaining life cover will be paid in equal monthly payments for 10 years. For example, if your life cover is ₹ 1 Crore, you can choose to give ₹ 50 Lakh as lump sum and the remaining ₹ 50 Lakh will be paid out in equal monthly instalments of ₹ 41,667 per month, at the rate of 0.83333% per month over 10 years. This option will help your family pay off a small loan while also have a regular income.
Yes, you can change the nominee at any time during the policy term by informing the company. You can also add multiple nominees.
The details needed of the nominee are their full name, gender, date of birth and relationship with life assured. Your nominee can be your spouse, children, parents, siblings or their spouses, uncles, aunts, nieces, nephews, or even your grandparents or grandchildren.
Make sure you tell your nominee about their nomination in this plan and share all the details of the plan with them including the cover amount, policy term and payout method chosen by you. You should also tell them if you have opted for any riders. Your nominee should know where the policy kit is. They should understand the claims process properly and know what all documents are needed to make a claim.
If your nominee passes away before you, you will have to appoint some other person as your nominee. If the nominee and policy holder pass away together, then the claim payout will be made to the next legal heir.

Term insurance is a simple form of life insurance. It provides financial protection to your family at the most affordable rates. With term insurance, you can get a large life cover (i.e. sum assured) at a relatively low premium rate. The benefit amount is paid out to the nominee in case of death of the person insured during the term of the policy.
The earlier you buy a term plan, the better it is. In today’s world, where lifestyle related illnesses are becoming more and more common each day, it’s always better to be secure beforehand. Also, term insurance premiums increase with age. For example, for ₹ 1 Crore cover amount, premiums for a 30-year-old, non-smoker male would amount to ₹ 885 p.m. for a 30-year policy duration of ICICI Pru iProtect Smart - Life option with regular pay and regular income payout option. The premium increases to ₹ 1,784 p.m. if the policy is bought at age 40. It is important to note that the premiums get fixed at the age you purchase the policy, for the entire policy duration. Buying early can thus help you lock lower premiums for the entire policy term. There are also lower chances of your policy getting rejected if you buy earlier.
Many companies today provide insurance cover for their employees. However, it is advisable to get an individual policy for yourself for the following reasons:
- Not enough cover – The cover provided by company’s life insurance policy (generally ₹ 10-15 Lakh) may not always be sufficient to sustain your family in case something happens to you.
- Will lose coverage if you change your job – This coverage is dependent on your job. If you leave the job, the insurance cover ends then and there, till you join a new job. The period between the end of the old job and the start of the new one would be without cover.
- Standard policy for all employees, not customized to your needs – The life insurance policies provided by your employer are standardized policies which are not customized according to your specific needs and don’t generally contain any provisions for critical illness, terminal illness and disabilities.
Hence, even if you are covered under your company’s group policy, you may still buy a separate term plan with a life cover that is at least 10-15 times your annual income to make sure your family is able to sustain their current standard of living and is adequately provided for in your absence.

The benefit amount is paid out to the nominee in case of death of the person insured during the term of the policy.
While traditional life insurance plans have both a protection and an investment component, term insurance plans are pure protection plans that don’t give any payout on surviving the policy term. However, as compared to traditional insurance plans, term plans have the advantage of providing large sum assured coverage at much more affordable rates.
In today’s uncertain times, it is important to ensure your dependents are financially protected even if you are not around. Buying a term plan is a simple and cost-effective way to do this.

The life cover you need depends on your current annual income. We recommend getting a life cover that is at least 10-15 times your annual income to provide for a safe future for your dependents. You can opt for monthly premium payment option instead of a yearly premium commitment too. However, it is important to have a sufficient life cover so that your family’s financial security is not compromised.

- Permanent Disability Benefit: All your future premiums are waived off while your policy continues if you get a permanent disability5

- Critical Illness Cover: This is an optional benefit the customer can purchase wherein he/she receives a pre-determined claim amount in case of diagnosis of any of 34 specified critical illnesses##. No bills or proof of expenditure4 is required. There is also no restriction of network hospitals. You can use the claim amount to get a treatment of your choice or however else you deem fit. This benefit is accelerated and not additional, which means the policy will continue with the Death Benefit reduced by the extent of the critical illness benefit paid.
- Accidental Death Cover9: This is another optional benefit wherein an additional cover is payable in case of death due to accident. The maximum cover that can be availed is ₹ 2 Crore.
If you are ever diagnosed with a critical illness, it can not only affect you physically and emotionally but also financially. A critical illness can cause you to leave your job temporarily or permanently and lose out on your income.

The best part about this benefit is that you receive the full claim payout on the first diagnosis of any of the covered 34 Critical Illnesses. No hospital bills are needed, nor is there any restriction of getting treated at network hospitals. This claim amount can not only be used for a treatment of your choice but also safeguard your family against the loss of income arising out of the illness.
Did You Know: 33%$$ of our online customers purchase the optional critical illness benefit with their policy.
Traditional health insurance plans (mediclaim policies) only reimburse the medical expenses you incur during hospitalization. They might not cover all diseases and generally have a longer waiting period for certain diseases.
A critical illness cover, on the other hand, covers severe life-threatening diseases like cancer, heart attack, kidney failure, etc. You get the entire claim amount as soon as you are diagnosed, irrespective of the actual expenses incurred. You can then use this amount for a treatment of your choice, without having to run around to get your reimbursement later on. There is no restriction of network hospitals either. The claim amount from critical illness cover can not only be used for your treatment but also to help cope up with the loss of income while you recover. As such, you are advised to get a critical illness cover that is 2 times of your annual income to make sure you and your family are financially protected in case you contract a serious illness.
The minimum Critical Illness benefit you can choose is ₹ 1 Lakh and the maximum benefit is ₹ 1 Crore. The cost of medical treatment is continuously rising. So it is recommended to have a critical illness cover that is at least 2 times of your current annual income.
The Critical Illness benefit amount is payable immediately if and when you are diagnosed for the first time with any of the 34 critical illnesses## covered by ICICI Pru iProtect Smart. A copy of the diagnosis report is required to initiate the critical illness claim and it is payable basis fulfillment of definition of the diagnosed critical illness.
This benefit is accelerated and not additional, which means the policy will continue with the Death Benefit reduced by the extent of the critical illness benefit paid.
Refer to our brochure for more details.
The policy continues with the life cover reduced by the amount paid out for the critical illness claimed. The premiums to be paid are also accordingly reduced.
Accidental Death Cover is an optional benefit available under ICICI Pru iProtect Smart which provides the nominee with a higher payout in case of death of the person insured due to an accident. The maximum benefit that can be taken in this case is ₹ 2 Crore. Accidental Death Benefit is only applicable up to age of 80. You can chose to add this benefit to your policy anytime during the term of your policy.
An accidental death can have an involvement of additional costs. It is therefore wise to opt for additional cover in case of death due to accident so that your family is adequately protected in your absence.
Did you know: 35%$$ of our customers purchase the optional accidental death benefit along with their policies.
The minimum Accidental Death benefit you can choose is ₹ 1 Lakh. The maximum benefit will be up to the basic life cover subject to maximum of ₹ 2 Crore, as per the company policy. We recommend you get a minimum of ₹ 50 Lakh accidental death cover to make sure your family is financially protected in case you die in an accident. Please note that Accidental Death benefit is offered at flat rates, e.g. a ₹ 50 Lakh Accidental Death benefit comes for just ₹ 287 p.a., whatever your profile is.
The premium amount is decided based on your age, gender and smoking status, along with the life cover amount, policy term, payment mode and payout option selected by you. Premiums are calculated at the time of purchase and remain fixed throughout the policy term.

Yes, as a smoker you present a greater risk of death than a non-smoker. Hence, premium rates for smokers are higher than that of non-smokers.
We have 3 payment terms available:
- • Regular pay where you pay for the entire policy term
- • Limited pay where you pay for only 5 years, 7 years, 10 years, till the age of 60 years and policy term – 5 years
- • Single pay where you pay the entire premium in one go (Note – max policy term available with single pay option is 20 years)
Limited Pay is a great option wherein the customer pays premium for a limited period while enjoying the benefits of the plan for the entire policy term. This lets you free from the burden of paying premiums early on while keeping your family secured for a long period of time. While the premiums to be paid are slightly higher than regular pay; with the limited pay option, you can end up saving up to 65%** on total premiums paid.
Although you can pay for the entire policy term, we suggest that you pay your premiums till the time you are earning. If you are young, it would be wise to go for a 5, 7 or 10 year limited pay and get done with paying premiums before more responsibilities get added on to your life. If you are 35 or above, you can choose limited pay till 60 years, i.e. retirement.
You can choose to pay the premiums monthly, half-yearly or yearly. Paying yearly helps you save 2.5% on your premium payments7.
Yes, you can.
The various payment methods available for online payment of premiums include credit card, debit card, net banking, UPI, Google Pay, Amazon Pay and other popular payment wallets.
A grace period for payment of premium of 15 days applies for monthly premium payment mode and 30 days for other modes of premium payment. If the premium is not paid within the grace period, the policy shall lapse and cover shall cease.
You can choose from four flexible payout options:
- Lump sum – entire claim payout at once
- Monthly income –payout in equal monthly instalments
- Increasing income – claim payout in monthly instalments that increase by 10% every year
- Lump sum + Income – one large payout at once and remaining in monthly instalments
Under lump sum payout, the entire life cover amount is paid to your nominee in one go. This is the most preferred option for our online buyers and is especially helpful if you have a large outstanding loan to be paid off like a home loan.
Under the monthly income plan, 10% of the benefit amount is payable to your nominee every year for 10 years. This is paid in equal monthly instalments, in advance, at the rate of 0.83333% of the total benefit amount. This is the most economical payout option. You can choose this option if you want your family to receive a regular monthly income.
Under the increasing monthly income plan, the benefit amount is payable in monthly instalments for 10 years starting with 10% of the benefit amount per annum in the first year. The income amount will increase by 10% per annum simple interest every year thereafter. This payout option gives 45% more life cover. For example, if your life cover is ₹ 1 Ccrore, then your family will receive ₹ 10 Lakh in the first year, ₹ 11 Lakh in the second year, ₹ 12 Lakh in the third year and so on for 10 years. This way, at the end of the 10th year, the total life cover received will be ₹ 1.45 Crore. This option is useful if you would like to account for inflation and the rising cost of living.
Under the new lump sum plus income option, you have the flexibility to split the life cover amount that you want your nominee to receive as lump sum and the remaining life cover will be paid in equal monthly payments for 10 years. For example, if your life cover is ₹ 1 Crore, you can choose to give ₹ 50 Lakh as lump sum and the remaining ₹ 50 Lakh will be paid out in equal monthly instalments of ₹ 41,667 per month, at the rate of 0.83333% per month over 10 years. This option will help your family pay off a small loan while also have a regular income.

The details needed of the nominee are their full name, gender, date of birth and relationship with life assured. Your nominee can be your spouse, children, parents, siblings or their spouses, uncles, aunts, nieces, nephews, or even your grandparents or grandchildren.
