FAQ – Important Questions mostly asked by Users:
Q1. What is Endowment Policy Meaning?

Q4. Which is Better Term Insurance or Endowment Plan?
Answer: There is no comparison between Term Insurance and Endowment Plan because both serve different purposes for the Policyholder’s life and family. Let me explain with an example.
- If you are the sole person earning in your family and bought a Term Insurance plan (₹1cr), but unfortunately you died, then the term insurance ensures your family expenses. This is because the Term insurance purpose is to serve in case of your death/disability, there are no Maturity benefits for the policyholder after the Term period is over.
- Whereas in the Endowment Plan the Policybuyer purchases this policy in the hope of Maturity Amount at the end of his/her policy term, and along with this Endowment Plan provides some amount of Death Benefits in case of death of the policyholder.
Q5. What is the Maturity Benefit of an Endowment Plan?
Answer: The Endowment Plan Maturity Benefit is calculated as Maturity Amount = Basic Sum Assured (you selected at the time of purchase) + Revisory Bonus + Final Additional Bonus. You can simply use the Calculator for exact calculations.
