What is a Term Plan with a Return of Premium (TROP)?

A term plan with a return of premium, also called TROP, is a term plan which offers a maturity benefit. It works as a normal term plan with just an addition of maturity benefit. Under TROP, if the life insured passes away during the policy tenure, the death benefit is paid.

On the other hand, if the insured survives the policy tenure and the policy matures, the premiums paid over the policy tenure are refunded, hence the name¹.
