What is life insurance?

A life insurance policy is meant to protect the breadwinner's family so that the family can live comfortably in the absence of the breadwinner. The family gets a lump sum amount of money to secure their future.

A life insurance policy provides financial security and stability to the family of the breadwinner. Some policies also provide periodic payments (part of the insured amount) to the family even in the breadwinner's presence by offering returns for the invested corpus or by reducing taxes.
