Father's Day is just around the corner, and we're all confused thinking about what to gift the man who has been there for us all along. Of course, you may go out and buy him a watch, a new wallet, or even a high-end gadget. But this year, why not give him something a little more special: something that says you care not only today but also tomorrow?
Yes, we're speaking about term insurance. It's not gift-boxed, but it's one of the most practical and considerate gifts you can give your dad. This post will discuss why term insurance policies are the perfect Father's Day gift in 2025 and how they can secure your father's future and provide peace of mind for your entire family.
Term insurance is a life insurance policy that offers financial protection for a specified period, let's say 10, 20, or 30 years. In case the policyholder (your dad) dies during this period, the insurer pays a lump sum (called the sum assured) to the nominee or the family. The sum can be used to pay for monthly bills, loans, and other financial obligations.
Term insurance is one of the affordable life insurance policies if purchased at an early age. Here's why you should purchase a term insurance for your dad:
Gifting your dad a term insurance policy might not come wrapped in shiny paper, but its value goes far beyond the usual presents. Think about it. While clothes fade and gadgets get outdated, term insurance is a gift of love, responsibility, and security. It protects everything your father has built and ensures his legacy continues no matter what.
Yes, many insurers allow term insurance for individuals up to 65 years, but premiums may be higher with age.
If your dad already has a policy, increasing coverage or adding riders (like critical illness) might be more cost-effective.
He can still get term insurance, but he may need to undergo medical tests, and premiums might be slightly higher.
Only if you choose a "Return of Premium" (ROP) option. Otherwise, traditional term plans don’t offer maturity benefits.
Yes, you can pay the premiums, but make sure your father is listed as the policyholder and nominee details are accurate.
