CASE STUDY WITH QUESTIONS BASED ON HUMAN LIFE VALUE INSURANCE COVER

Sure, here's a case study with questions based on Human Life Value (HLV) insurance cover:

Case Study:

Raj is a 40-year-old married man with two children. He earns an annual income of Rs. 12 lakhs and
expects to work until he is 60 years old. He has a home loan of Rs. 30 lakhs and education expenses for his
children to consider. He is concerned about his family's financial security if something were to happen to
him.

After consulting with an insurance advisor, Raj decides to purchase a term life insurance policy with a sum
assured of Rs. 1 crore for a term of 20 years. The premium for this policy is Rs. 18,000 per year.

Two years later, Raj is diagnosed with a serious illness and is unable to work. He passes away 6 months
later. His family receives the sum assured from the insurance policy.

Questions:

1. What is Raj's HLV?


2. Was the sum assured of Rs. 1 crore adequate for Raj's insurance needs? Why or why not?
3. How would Raj's family have been impacted if he had not purchased the insurance policy?
4. What are some other types of insurance that Raj could have considered to further protect his
family's financial security?
5. How can an insurance advisor help individuals like Raj plan for unexpected events and ensure that
they have appropriate insurance coverage?

Answers:

1. To calculate Raj's HLV, the insurance advisor would consider his current income, potential future
income, and various expenses such as the home loan and education expenses. Based on the
information provided, Raj's HLV could be estimated to be around Rs. 2.4 crore.
2. The sum assured of Rs. 1 crore may not have been adequate for Raj's insurance needs. His HLV is
estimated to be around Rs. 2.4 crore, so a higher sum assured may have been more appropriate to
fully protect his family's financial security in the event of his unexpected death.
3. If Raj had not purchased the insurance policy, his family would have faced significant financial
hardship and uncertainty in the event of his unexpected death. They may have struggled to pay off
the home loan and education expenses, and may not have had sufficient funds to maintain their
standard of living.
4. Raj could have considered other types of insurance, such as critical illness insurance, disability
insurance, or accidental death and dismemberment insurance, to further protect his family's
financial security in the event of unexpected events.
5. An insurance advisor can help individuals like Raj by providing guidance on their insurance
needs, helping them calculate their HLV, and recommending appropriate insurance coverage
based on their unique needs and circumstances. The advisor can also help individuals understand
the terms and conditions of insurance policies and ensure that they have adequate coverage to
protect against financial risk.

Sure, here's another example case study based on Human Life Value (HLV) insurance cover:
Case Study:

Sara is a 30-year-old unmarried woman who is self-employed and earns an annual income of Rs. 8
lakhs. She expects her income to increase in the future as her business grows. Sara has no
dependents and does not have any major debts.

After consulting with an insurance advisor, Sara decides to purchase a term life insurance policy with
a sum assured of Rs. 50 lakhs for a term of 20 years. The premium for this policy is Rs. 8,000 per year.

Five years later, Sara gets married and has a child. She realizes that her insurance needs have
changed and consults with her insurance advisor again. Based on her updated information, the
advisor recommends increasing the sum assured of her policy to Rs. 1 crore for a term of 25 years.
The premium for this policy is Rs. 12,000 per year.

Ten years later, Sara passes away unexpectedly in a car accident. Her family receives the sum assured
from the insurance policy.

Questions:

What is Sara's HLV?

Was the initial sum assured of Rs. 50 lakhs adequate for Sara's insurance needs when she purchased
the policy? Why or why not?

How did Sara's insurance needs change after she got married and had a child?

Was the revised sum assured of Rs. 1 crore adequate for Sara's insurance needs at the time of her
death? Why or why not?

How can individuals like Sara ensure that their insurance coverage is appropriate for their changing
needs and circumstances over time?

Answers:

1.To calculate Sara's HLV, the insurance advisor would consider her current income, potential future
income, and any future expenses such as children's education costs and retirement savings. Based on
the information provided, Sara's HLV could be estimated to be around Rs. 2.4 crore.

2.The initial sum assured of Rs. 50 lakhs may have been adequate for Sara's insurance needs when
she purchased the policy since she had no dependents and no major debts at the time. However, her
insurance needs would likely have increased after she got married and had a child.
3.After Sara got married and had a child, her insurance needs likely increased to include protection
for her family's financial security in the event of her unexpected death. She may have also needed to
consider additional expenses such as childcare and education costs for her child.

4.The revised sum assured of Rs. 1 crore may have been adequate for Sara's insurance needs at the
time of her death, but it would depend on her updated HLV calculation and her family's financial
situation at the time. It is possible that she may have needed more or less coverage depending on
her unique circumstances.

5.Individuals like Sara can ensure that their insurance coverage is appropriate for their changing
needs and circumstances over time by regularly reviewing their policies with an insurance advisor,
updating their HLV calculation as their income and expenses change, and adjusting their coverage
accordingly. It is important to regularly assess insurance needs to ensure that there is adequate
coverage to protect against financial risk in the event of unexpected events

CASE STUDY WITH QUESTIONS BASED ON MATURITY OF PLANS


Sure, here's a case study with questions based on the maturity of insurance plans:

Case Study:

Ravi is a 35-year-old married man with two children. He works as a software engineer and earns an annual
income of Rs. 12 lakhs. Ravi is concerned about his family's financial security in the event of his untimely
death and decides to purchase a term life insurance policy with a sum assured of Rs. 50 lakhs for a term of
20 years. The premium for this policy is Rs. 10,000 per year.

Ten years later, Ravi realizes that his insurance needs have changed. His children are older and will soon
be finishing their education, and his outstanding home loan has reduced significantly. He consults with his
insurance advisor and decides to purchase a money-back policy with a sum assured of Rs. 25 lakhs for a
term of 15 years. The premium for this policy is Rs. 20,000 per year, and it offers him a guaranteed payout
of Rs. 5 lakhs every five years.

At the end of the 15-year term, Ravi receives the maturity benefit of Rs. 25 lakhs plus the accumulated
bonus of Rs. 4 lakhs.

Questions:

1. What is the purpose of Ravi's initial term life insurance policy?


2. Why does Ravi decide to purchase a money-back policy after ten years?
3. What is the difference between a term life insurance policy and a money-back policy?
4. How does the maturity benefit of the money-back policy differ from the death benefit of the term
life insurance policy?
5. What options does Ravi have after the maturity of his money-back policy?

Answers:

1. The purpose of Ravi's initial term life insurance policy is to provide financial security to his
family in the event of his untimely death. The sum assured of Rs. 50 lakhs would help his family
pay off outstanding debts, cover their living expenses, and provide for his children's education.
2. Ravi decides to purchase a money-back policy after ten years because his insurance needs have
changed. His children are older and will soon be finishing their education, and his outstanding
home loan has reduced significantly. A money-back policy will provide him with guaranteed
payouts at regular intervals, which he can use to meet his financial goals and support his family's
changing needs.
3. A term life insurance policy provides a lump sum payout to the policyholder's beneficiaries in the
event of the policyholder's death during the policy term. A money-back policy, on the other hand,
provides guaranteed payouts at regular intervals during the policy term, and also pays out a
maturity benefit at the end of the policy term.
4. The maturity benefit of the money-back policy is paid out to the policyholder upon the completion
of the policy term, provided the policyholder survives the term. The death benefit of the term life
insurance policy is paid out to the policyholder's beneficiaries in the event of the policyholder's
death during the policy term.
5. After the maturity of his money-back policy, Ravi has the option to renew the policy, purchase a
new policy, or invest the maturity amount in other financial instruments. He can consult with his
insurance advisor to determine the best course of action based on his financial goals and insurance
needs at that time.

ONE MOR E EXAMPLE


Sure, here's another case study with questions based on the maturity of insurance plans:

Case Study:

Priya is a 30-year-old working professional with an annual income of Rs. 8 lakhs. She has a 10-year-old
daughter and a 5-year-old son. Priya wants to secure her family's financial future in case of any unfortunate
events. She decides to purchase a traditional life insurance policy with a sum assured of Rs. 50 lakhs for a
term of 20 years. The premium for this policy is Rs. 12,000 per year.

Ten years later, Priya's daughter will be 20 years old and her son will be 15 years old. Priya realizes that
her insurance needs have changed, and she wants to purchase a policy that can help her meet her daughter's
higher education expenses and her son's future financial needs. She decides to purchase a unit-linked
insurance plan (ULIP) with a sum assured of Rs. 50 lakhs for a term of 15 years. The premium for this
policy is Rs. 30,000 per year, and it offers her the flexibility to invest in different funds based on her risk
appetite and financial goals.

At the end of the 15-year term, Priya receives the maturity benefit of Rs. 75 lakhs, which includes the sum
assured and the accumulated returns from the ULIP.

Questions:

2. Why does Priya decide to purchase a unit-linked insurance plan after ten years?
3. What is the difference between a traditional life insurance policy and a unit-linked insurance plan?
4. How does the maturity benefit of the ULIP differ from the death benefit of the traditional life
insurance policy?
5. What options does Priya have after the maturity of her ULIP?

Answers:

1. The purpose of Priya's initial traditional life insurance policy is to provide financial security to her
family in case of any unfortunate events. The sum assured of Rs. 50 lakhs would help her family
cover their living expenses, provide for her children's education, and pay off any outstanding
debts.
2. Priya decides to purchase a unit-linked insurance plan after ten years because her insurance needs
have changed. She wants a policy that can help her meet her children's higher education expenses
and their future financial needs. A ULIP offers her the flexibility to invest in different funds based
on her risk appetite and financial goals, and also provides life insurance coverage.
3. A traditional life insurance policy provides a lump sum payout to the policyholder's beneficiaries
in the event of the policyholder's death during the policy term. A unit-linked insurance plan is a
type of life insurance policy that also offers the policyholder the option to invest in different funds
based on their risk appetite and financial goals. The returns on the investment portion of the ULIP
depend on the performance of the underlying funds.
4. The maturity benefit of the ULIP is paid out to the policyholder upon the completion of the policy
term, provided the policyholder survives the term. The death benefit of the traditional life
insurance policy is paid out to the policyholder's beneficiaries in the event of the policyholder's
death during the policy term.
5. After the maturity of her ULIP, Priya has the option to renew the policy, purchase a new policy, or
invest the maturity amount in other financial instruments. She can consult with her insurance
advisor to determine the best course of action based on her financial goals and insurance needs at
that time.
