| Company | Age: 31 years (30 yr term) | Age: 40 years (15 yr term) |
| Reliance Life | 5585 | 7850 |
| SBI life | 4709 (25 years term max) | 8001 |
| Prudential ICICI | 6052 | 9095 |
| MetLife | 5250 (29 years term max) | 8100 |
| HDFC Standard | 5070 | 7590 |
| OM Kotak (non smoker) | 5555 | 7050 |
| LIC | 6133 (25 years term max) | 8628 |
1) For Age 31: the values are for a sum assured of Rs. 15 Lakhs, for a 30 year term.
2) For Age 40: the values are for a sum assured of Rs. 15 Lakhs, for a 15 year term.
3) Some companies don't offer a 30 year term (mentioned in brackets) and therefore are not strictly comparable.
4) Disclaimer: All values are from the online premium calculators in these companies' web sites. Nothing above is guaranteed, and I am not an agent or representative of these companies. The values may change with time, so there is no assurance of accuracy either.
5) Extra Service Tax + Cess may be applicable. Please confirm before you buy a policy.
For an age of 31 (my age): HDFC Standard seems to be very good value. (Don't consider the smaller term plans)
For an age of 40: OM Kotak seems to be the cheapest.

>Sachin,
LIC – I have added Anmol Jeevan (Because the sum assured was 15 lakhs, and Amulya Jeevan has a minimum of 25 lakhs) The premium is displayed above.
I think if you compared all the insurance companies with the same data (25 lakhs s.a., 30 years premium, 30 year old person today) you will find that LIC is quite expensive. I pay Rs. 10,000 for my Reliance Life Insurance policy, bought when I was thirty – sum assured was 30 lakhs.

>i am about to buy a amulya jeevan policy of 25 Lacs for a term of 25 years. i am 34. the premium is higher than all others.
i beleive there is a critical illness add on included in the policy.
also i am more convinced that LIC will pay up- as opposed to the private players- what if they go bankrupt. the indian govt will not allow that to happen to LIC. am i partially right in this evaluation of the next 25 years?

>Since insurance is planned for future it must be 100% guaranteed without any problems. LIC is the best option even if the premium is bit higher. After having experience from others regarding private players. LIC is the best for insurance

>You All are right.. LIC is the best choice and HDFC comes next.
Don't ever go with ICICI and Reliance.. They are big corporate looters. I am holding a policy with ICICI and their customer service is the best example of stupidity.

Hi Deepak,
Off lately you have not updated the premiums.
Currently Aviva i-Life is the cheapest term plan online.. What’s your take on i-Life?
