  • The rider takes away the premium burden from the policyholder’s shoulders in uneventful cases

Critical illness rider

Reasons You Need a Rider in Term Insurance

 

There are many benefits of adding riders ito term insurance. However, some of the common benefits which make choosing riders a good choice are as follows –

1. Added protection

One of the primary rider benefits is the added protection that it provides. Whichever rider you choose; you get an added layer of protection against unforeseen eventualities which might cause a financial loss.

2. Coverage for contingencies other than death

While the term plan covers the risk of premature demise, the riders can provide coverage against medical emergencies, critical illnesses and disabilities. They pay a benefit in any of these contingencies (depending on which rider you choose) and extend financial assistance when you need it the most.

3. Minimal premium

Riders are very cost-effective. The rider premium is low making it affordable. You can enjoy a high rider sum assured at low additional premiums on the base plan so that your coverage is enhanced without burning your pockets.

4. Tax benefits

The rider premiums are clubbed with your term insurance premium and allowed as a deduction under Section 80C of the Income Tax Act, 1961 up to Rs.1.5 lakhs2 subject to the terms and conditions stated therein. This is available for term insurance riders like accidental death riders, accidental death and disablement riders and any other rider which does not offer health insurance-related coverage2. For riders like critical illness riders, hospitalisation coverage riders, terminal illness riders, and others who provide health-related cover, the rider premium is allowed as a deduction under Section 80D up to Rs.25,000 if you are below 60 and Rs.50,000 if you are a senior citizen2.Above benefits are available only under old regime of Tax.
