Our list of Life Insurance company in Nepal has seven (7) companies. There are two types of Insurance companies in Nepal based on the working principles – Life Insurance companies and Non-Life insurance companies. Life Insurance companies have a focus on the lives of people (or an individual) where there is a contract between an insurance company (i.e. insurer or assurer) and insurance policyholder (i.e. individual). The insurer promises to pay a designated beneficiary a sum of money (the benefit) in exchange for a premium. Payments are usually triggered at the death of an insured person or on a contract basis – that may include terminal illness or critical illness or completion of time duration. On the premium part, a policyholder can pay the premium on a certain time duration i.e. monthly, quarterly, semi-annually or annually. We will cover non-life insurance on the next blog article.
Life-based contracts tend to fall into two major categories – Protection policies and Investment policies. Protection policies are designed to provide a benefit, typically a lump sum payment, in the event of a specified occurrence. A common form of a protection policy design is term insurance. Whereas, the main objective of Investment policies is to facilitate the growth of capital by regular or single premiums. Common forms are whole life, universal life, etc.
