Progressive Term Insurance (With Profit)
This plan offers a large amount of insurance coverage at a relatively low premium. Young people prefer this insurance at the beginning of their career. Generally, premiums are paid at a lower rate for the first five years of insurance. After this period, when the income increases significantly, the premium has to be paid at a relatively increased rate.
Advantages :-
(1) Progressive term insurance is a special type of term insurance which expires at the age of 70 years of the policyholder. However, generally after five years of taking up the policy, the policyholder can reduce the term by paying premium at an increased rate thereafter. To avail this opportunity, the remaining term of the insurance at the time of conversion should be at least 10 years. If this special benefit is not taken by the policyholder, the policy automatically matures at 70 years. For conversion before or after five years revised rates of premium are available on request from the office of the Corporation.
(2) Medical examination is not required at the time of conversion. Supplementary benefit cannot be accepted with this insurance.
What is the ruling on life insurance in Islamic Shariah?
The order of life insurance in Islamic Shariah is that it is clearly proven in the analysis of the rules and procedures of conventional life insurance that there are haraam activities like interest and gambling and many other things that are against the Shariah are also included, so this insurance is not permissible. So for those who have done it, the principal money saved for them, the additional money of Halal is not Halal, the insurance should be stopped as soon as possible. As per the contract with the principal amount, the additional amount due will be raised, but the excess amount must be given in charity without the intention of reward.
