These ailments are now becoming commonplace in urban India like kidney failure, heart attack, stroke, cancer, major organ transplant etc.

What about the financial impact of these ailments? Apart from the immediate medical expenses that he may incur, it may also deviate the proprietor’s attention from his business.

There’s more. The policyholder need not pay any more premiums for the policy for the remaining term as HDFC Standard life will pay premium on his behalf .The proceeds towards goals-like child’s marriage, capital for new business, education will be secured. So there is a double benefit.

Saving family from business risks

A sharp businessperson would feel that borrowed money can fetch high returns in business and hence may be running a business with borrowed capital. But, there is a chance that he would leave his family in debt and creditors can claim his property.

Also, due to some issues there are chances of tax attachments or court attachments. Purchasing life insurance is one way to save the family from the business risks.

How?

The answer is Married Women’s Property Act (MWP), 1874. It’s a simple method of creating a benefit for wife and children. If the insurance is taken under MWP Act, the policyholder will lose all control over the policy except payment premiums from day one and policy will become a trust (wife) property. The beneficiaries will only be wife and children. For example, in case the policyholder i.e. the husband was in debt before he died, his creditors will get nothing out of this policy, not even with the help of the court the policy becomes free from the vice of policyholder’s creditors, court/attachments or even tax attachments etc.
