A Group term life insurance policy is a policy that provides life insurance coverage to a group of people. The employers or any other group administrator can subscribe to it to cover the lives of its employees or members. The group term insurance policy provides financial support to the family members of the employee in case of his/her unfortunate death. So, it provides monetary security to the beneficiaries of the policy.
Most of the group life insurance is simple and flexible. There is also no need to undergo a medical examination of the employees covered under this policy. The amount of cover available to an employee under the group term insurance plan can be based upon various factors, like:
- The rank of the employee,
- The employment tenure with the company,
- Amount of salary drawn,
- A number of dependents, etc.
The employer pays for the coverage up to a certain extent. And the employee needs to pay himself if he needs extended coverage.
