Choose right insurer for your Home Loan


"If something happens to the main borrower and the family can't afford to pay the EMIs, they can be evicted from the house," says Suresh Sadagopan, a certified financial planner and founder Ladder 7 Financial Advisories.

You can cover your home loan by choosing one of the options: - Home loan Protection Plan (HLPP) and other is Pure Term Cover which is recommended by the Financial Advisors.

"HLPP, often sold along with the housing loan, offers a risk cover (sum assured) equal to the loan amount. As the outstanding loan amount reduces, the size of the cover also reduces," says Pankaj Mathpal, certified financial planner & Managing Director, Optima Money Managers.

In case of a term cover (of Rs 50 lakh), the family would get the entire sum assured of Rs 50 lakh. "Even after settling the loan amount, the family can still make a saving of Rs 9 lakh," says Pankaj Mathpal adds.
