Hi, I have dilemma related to Term Insurance. I am in early 30s and currently I do not have any loan or money related liabilities in life. So one really need to buy term insurance in life, even if they do not have any liabilities in life?

Ans: Term insurance is not only related to any loans or money related liabilities. It is also related to the future needs of your dependents. If you have dependents who are not working and have long term needs like retirement, children's education, etc, then you need to account these as your liabilities and factor them in. You need to calculate the amount required to satisfy those needs and avail a term cover which is equivalent to that amount.
Having a term plan early can lock in the premiums (you can always switch to a lower premium policy and discontinue one taken earlier) and the policy itself (In case you contract any illness, you may not be provided with a policy). You can take a base minimum cover and once the liability or goals increases, you have the option to top-up the cover at the prevailing premium rates.
