INTRODUCTION Insurance is a contract in which an individual or entity receives financial protection or reimbursement against losses from an insurance company. SOURCE : INVESTOPEDIA 2
MEANING • Life insurance is a contract between an insured (insurance policy holder) and an insurer or assurer, where the insurer promises to pay a designated beneficiary a sum of money in exchange for a premium, upon the death of the insured person. • Depending on the contract, other events such as terminal illness or critical illness can also be the reason for the payment. • The policy holder typically pays a premium, either regularly or as one lump sum. Other expenses (such as funeral expenses) can also be included in the benefits. SOURCE : WIKIPEDIA DREAMSTIME.COM 3
