    Term Insurance for NRIs & OCI/PIO


    A term plan adds an essential layer of financial protection for your family and, in times of need, can help them obtain the necessary resources for their financial goals and commitments.

    While term plans are an important part of a Non-Resident Indian’s (NRI’s), Overseas Citizenship of India (OCI) or Person of Indian Origin (PIO) investment portfolio, their main purpose is to secure their family in their absence. Term insurance for NRIs can offer this security while you live in another country away from your family so that you need not worry about their future in case of an unfortunate incident. An NRI can purchase a policy when visiting India or from their country of residence.

    How Does the Term Insurance for NRIs Work?


    There is quite a lot of similarity between the way a regular term plan and a term plan for an NRI works. 
     

    For instance, the choice of policies, the policy tenure, and premium payment options are offered for general term plans and those designed for Non-Resident Indians. 
     

    Moreover, the death benefits will be paid out to your beneficiaries if you pass away during the policy term, just as with a regular term plan. For term plans with a return of premium, the total of all premiums paid will be paid out on maturity.

    To purchase the term plan of your choice, you can browse through the different term insurance policies under Tata AIA Life Insurance. Go through the benefits and features of all the plans. Also, read through all the exclusions to understand what the policy does not cover.

    Choose an adequate sum assured or coverage needed to keep your family secure in case of an unfortunate event. This amount should be sufficient for all their future financial needs, including any medical emergencies.

    You can customise the policy by choosing a policy term that is most suitable for you and your family. With a longer policy term, you can ensure uninterrupted life cover protection for your family.

    Select a premium paying term, frequency and mode that helps you keep the premiums reasonable and make the payments as per your convenience. This can help you pay the premiums without financial strain.

    NRIs & OCI/PIO can make their term plan premium payments through internet banking using their foreign bank accounts, Non-Resident External (NRE), Non-Resident Ordinary (NRO), Foreign Currency Non-Resident (FCNR) Accounts.

    The policy can be further customised with optional riders^ that protect you and your family from a specific set of risks and unforeseen events such as critical illnesses, accidental death, and disability, and more. These riders can be added to the policy for an additional premium.

    The documentation is a simple but crucial part of buying term life insurance for NRIs. Keep all the necessary documents ready at hand so that once you finalise your policy, you can easily submit the documents.

    Once all the documents are verified, we can issue the policy and the coverage for the term plan for NRIs becomes active.
