Single Investment Plan that offers financial protection with the potential to grow your money.
What is Single Investment Plan?
A Single Investment Plan is a one-time payment insurance policy whereby the policyholder has to make a single lump-sum payment to enjoy life cover for the entire tenure. It eliminates the need to make periodic payments and keep a regular track of the plan. It is like a ‘fire and forget’ missile. You just have to buy a single-premium term plan and forget about it.
A Single Investment Insurance is a one-time payment insurance policy that has been created for customers who do not want to endure the hassle of keeping a tab on the plan and making regular periodic payments.
This type of plan can be termed as a “fill it, shut it, forget about it” type of policy. Here, you make one large payment, become the owner of a single premium policy, and then forget about it until the term of the policy expires.
Benefits of Single Investment Plan
