Increasing liabilities :
People today prefer to take loans to fulfilling their needs, instead of waiting to save for the future. India’s outstanding credit card debt had touched Rs 26,500 crore in May 2008, up by 87% from May 2007. Hence, in your absence, your family needs to take care of this loan.
Nuclear family structure :
Earlier, people could depend on their extended joint family system to take care of their near and dear ones in case of their absence. However, the share of families with more than 5 members has come down from 64% in 1990 to 56% in 2005 and is expected to decrease further.**
Increasing lifestyle diseases :
The share of lifestyle diseases in India is increasing. Also, people in senior management are more prone to lifestyle diseases,

Why should I start planning my life cover needs now?
- One should have adequate cover for dependents. It’s better to be prepared and ensure that the financial needs of your loved ones are taken care of, in the unfortunate event of death.
- With age, the premiums tend to increase and therefore buying term insurance becomes more expensive.
- Apart from the benefit of protection for your dependents, also enjoy tax benefits under Sec 80C up to Rs. 1,00,000.
