Life insurance is an important and a vital part of the life of any person who is concerned about his loved ones and who keeps in mind each and every minor/major uncertainty of a life. Today life insurance is regarded as a major and an important matter of a life of a well planned family anywhere in the world..

Most of the families buy life insurance policies as soon as they have their first children. The basic purpose of la life insurance is to provide the family of the insurance purchaser a specific amount of money in order to survive after the death of the insurance purchaser. Usually the insurance purchaser acquires insurance for a longer period until and unless his/her death occurs. But this is not the only type of insurance policy available to the purchaser. There is another type of insurance policy called term life insurance. Majority of normal people who don’t know much about the life insurance are not familiar with this kind of life insurance.

Term life insurance is actually life insurance provided for a limited time. If the insurance purchaser dies after the contract is expired, his family members would not be able to claim for the insurance. The contract under a term life insurance is valid only to the agreed date and death (natural or by accident) after the contract has expired, will not be compensated. In order to extend a term insurance policy the purchaser has to pay an extra amount of money. It may cause the purchaser/owner of the life insurance more money. Term life insurance has three basic aspects. These are:
• Face amount (this is the amount that the family of insured would receive incase of death. This amount may vary from time to time)
• Premium to be paid (this is the actual cost of the life insurance that the purchaser/owner of the life insurance has paid in order to get it. This can vary from time to time too).
• Length of the coverage (this is the total period for which the insurer will provide insurance purchaser/owner insurance incase of death)

With the passage of time a new term insurance has been formed. This is called mortgage term insurance. In this kind of insurance, an amount to pay of the mortgage on the house is provided to the family of the insurance owner in case of his death.
