On the expiry of the term, the balance amount is paid as maturity value.

Children Policies:

These types of policies are taken on the life of the parent/children for the benefit of the child.

Annuity (Pension) Plans:

When an employee retires he no longer gets his salary while his need for a regular income continues.
Pension is therefore an ideal method of retirement provision because the benefit is in the form of regular income.
It is wise to provide for old age, when they have regular income during their earning period to take care of rainy days.

There are two types of annuities (pension plans):

In case of immediate Annuity, the Annuity payment from the Insurance Company starts immediately.
