In order to purchase a life insurance, a reasonable good health is desired.In case we find that a particular kind of Insurance is not able to meet the different needs, we may have a look at other plans. It is very essential that we read the terms and conditions of the policy, and also enquire about any clause that may not be clear. Free Lock provisions are required to be taken in account, which states different lock periods for different Insurance companies. However, whatever policy we decide to purchase, it is essential that we make a review of the policy from time to time, so as to make it adjustable with our changing financial needs and also family conditions.
