Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Term Plan with Return of Premium (TROP)
A term plan with a return of premium (TROP) is a variant of term insurance. These plans offer a maturity benefit where you will be paid back all the premiums paid (minus GST) towards the term plan upon surviving the policy term.
Premiums for these plans will be slightly higher than basic term plans. Like pure-term plans, they also offer death benefits to your family in the event of your demise. In simple terms, TROPs are term plans that offer dual benefits under a single term insurance plan.

How does a Term Plan with Return of Premium Work?
Term plans with return of premiums function similarly to pure term plans. The main distinction between a term plan and a term plan with a return of premium is the maturity benefit offered by TROPs.
Hence, term plans with a return of premiums will have:
Death Benefit:
Paid to the policyholder's family upon their death during the policy's term.
Maturity Benefit:
Paid to the policyholder when they survive the term plan's tenure.
Level Premiums:
Premiums for TROPs will stay the same throughout the policy's duration but will be higher than pure term plan premiums.
Let us look at an example to see how TROPs work using Tata AIA's term plan with return of premium.
Who should buy a Term Plan with Return of Premium?
Single or Unmarried Individuals
If you are single or unmarried with fewer dependents or dependent parents, you can benefit from buying a term plan with return of premiums. The dual benefit ensures your loved ones are taken care of either way since the pay outs are tax-free4 under applicable tax laws.
Newlywed Couples
As a couple, you will notice that your financial obligations will have begun to increase. You must now account for your spouse, dependent parents/in-laws and any future children.
With a term plan with a return of premium, the death benefit ensures that all your loved ones will be protected in the event of your demise. The maturity benefit can help further boost your financial security.
Married and Have Kids
Once children come into the picture, there are always more responsibilities. Hence, investing in life solutions like term plans with a return of premium can help safeguard your spouse and children against any future financial emergencies. Moreover, the maturity benefit of survival can be used to pay for financial obligations like your child's higher education.
Senior Citizens and Retirees
If you are older or planning for retirement, a term plan with a money-back feature can be beneficial. It not only protects your family but also ensures that you have access to additional financial resources during your retirement.
NRIs
If you are an NRI with dependents, a term plan with a return of premium feature can help secure your loved ones back in India. As an NRI, you can also claim 5tax relief on your maturity proceeds under India's Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement (DTAA), so you are not taxed twice on the same income – in your resident country and India.
