Single-premium insurance products were under the scanner of Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority (IRDA) as being risky. IRDA has relented after life insurance companies convinced IRDA that single-premium business is not disproportionate to the overall business and that there is a big market for these. The Union Budget for 2012-13 has made it mandatory for life insurance policies issued after 1st April this year to offer risk protection of at least 10 times the annual premium of the policy to be eligible for the tax benefit under Sections 80C and 10(10D) of the Income-Tax Act. Many of the existing single-premium products are low on insurance component.
