What to Focus On

  • Insurance has two broad categories: life insurance and general insurance.
  • General insurance includes fire, marine, social, and miscellaneous insurance.
  • Different types of insurance cover different kinds of risks.

  • Life insurance pays a definite sum on death or maturity.
  • It serves a dual purpose: protection and investment.
  • Premium is paid periodically.

  • Surrender value is less than the sum assured.
  • A paid-up policy has a reduced sum assured.
  • Assignment can be absolute or conditional.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Life insurance is a contract of indemnity like fire insurance and marine insurance.

Insurable interest is needed at the time of claim in all types of insurance.

Nomination and assignment mean the same thing in life insurance.
