Protect your family against uncertainty with Tata AIA's TROP plans!
Term insurance plans are known to be flexible, affordable, and suited for nearly everyone. But since everyone's insurance needs are different, Tata AIA brings to you term plans with a return of premium that offer maturity and death benefits. Enjoy dual benefits under a term single plan!
Table of Content
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.

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.
Mr Sunil, aged 30, non-smoker, is a salaried employee who buys our Sampoorna Raksha Supreme plan with a cover of ₹1 Crore for a term of 30 years to secure his family – his wife and two dependent children.
He names his wife as the policy nominee and opts for a Return of Premium feature under the plan. Under these parameters,
His annual premiums will amount to ₹20,895, which will stay the same throughout the policy's term. In comparison, if he opted for a basic term plan, his annual premiums would have been ₹11,084.
If Mr Sunil dies during the 30-year policy term, his wife will get a death benefit pay out of ₹1 Crore. This amount will be fully 4tax-exempt under applicable income tax laws.
If Mr Sunil survives the policy term, he will get a return payment of all premiums paid (minus GST) toward Tata AIA Life Insurance under his term plan. This amount is also 4tax-exempt since his annual premiums do not exceed ₹5 Lakhs.
In cases where his annual premiums for his TROP plan exceed ₹5 lakhs, Mr Sunil will be taxed per his tax slab rate under his chosen tax regime.

Just like regular term plans, term plans with money-back features offer 4tax benefits to policyholders and their nominees.
Under Section 80C of the Income Tax Act, you can claim a deduction of up to ₹1.5 lakhs for the premiums paid towards the policy, while Section 10(10D) allows for a tax exemption on the death and maturity benefits offered by the TROP plan.
Many term plans with a return of premium also offer whole life covers that ensure your family will have access to a financial support system in case of any such untoward misfortune.
For example, at Tata AIA, we offer coverage for up to 100 years, along with a built-in ROP feature. This ensures your TROP policy offers sustained risk coverage if you are unsure of how long you will need term insurance coverage.
The best term insurance with return of premium often comes with several add-on riders** you can choose from. These can help enhance the base coverage of your TROP plan.
For example, you can add a critical illness rider or a waiver of premium rider to your plan so that, in times of emergency, you do not have to compromise on your savings or premium payments and can easily claim the additional rider coverage.

What is the importance of term plans with return of premiums?
Term plans with return of premiums provide assured life cover protection to your family and maturity benefits. In the event of your demise, the sum assured under the term plan will offer financial support to your loved ones and if you survive, you will get a refund of all your policy premiums.
What is the catch with the term plans with a return of premium?
Although they offer dual benefits, these are online paid in case of the policyholder's death or on their survival on maturity. You cannot claim any payment amount during the policy term. Moreover, you will only be offered one of the payments for either scenario, not both – a death benefit on death and a premium refund on survival.
We highly recommend going through the policy brochure, policy wordings and talking to your insurance agent before making any purchases.
Is term insurance with a return of premium worth buying?
If you can afford the higher premiums, term plans with a return of premiums are worth buying. Along with offering your family pure risk coverage, you are also refunded your premiums on survival so they are not lost on policy expiry.
You can always compare different policies and plan options before choosing the one as per your needs.
What are the eligibility criteria for a term plan with return of premium?
The eligibility criteria to buy a term plan with return of premium can vary according to the plan you select. However, the minimum eligible age for getting a term plan with return of premium is 18 years, while the maximum age for the same is dependent on the policy terms and conditions.
Which is the best term plan with return of premium?
The best term plan with return of premium would be the one that suits your insurance needs and provides adequate coverage to your family in case of an unforeseen misfortune.

What type of coverage is offered under a term plan with return of premium?
Like a regular term plan, you are offered pure risk coverage during the policy's term. The only difference here is that you also get survival benefits. All other general exclusions and inclusions for term plans will apply to term plans with return of premiums. E.g., suicide exclusion during the first policy year.
With Tata AIA's term plan with return of premium, you get term coverage and a 105% return of the total premiums* paid towards the policy on maturity.
Should I buy a regular term insurance plan or a term plan with return of premium?
Choosing between a term plan and a term plan with a return of premium will depend on your needs. A pure term plan is for those who only want extensive life cover protection from their policy with a death benefit.
However, if you want maturity benefits from your term plan, where the premiums paid on your life insurance will be returned to you on maturity, then a term plan with the premium return is a good choice.
What claims can I file under my term plan with return of premium?
You and your family can file two types of claims under a TROP policy: a death settlement claim and a maturity benefit claim. The death claim should be filed within 30 days of the policyholder's death and the maturity claim can only be filed once the policy ends.
What is the death benefit under return of premium term insurance plan?
Under a return of premium term insurance plan, the death benefit is the total sum assured of the policy that will be paid out to the nominee/nominees if the policyholder passes away during the policy term.
Can you get your money back from a term insurance plan on maturity?
If you buy a term insurance plan with a return of premium, you can receive a total of all the premiums paid at the end of the policy term if you survive the policy term. The same is not possible with a pure term plan that only offers a life cover with death benefits and no maturity benefits.
