What is MRTA?
MRTA stands for (Mortgage Reducing Term Assurance).
It is a type of life insurance that is specifically created for home loan borrowers.
1/ It's not mandatory ❌
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has put no compulsion on people to purchase property insurance for home loans.
2/ It's expensive ❌
The premiums for MRTA can be quite high, especially if you're a new and healthy borrower.
3/ It's not always comprehensive ❌
MRTA only covers death and total permanent disability (TPD). It doesn't cover other events, such as critical illness or unemployment.
So, What's the point !!
4/ It can be difficult to claim ❌
If you do need to make a claim on your MRTA policy, the process can be complex and time-consuming.
For Exp :
For example, if you take a home loan of ₹20 lakhs at an interest rate of 8% for a term of 20 years,
Your monthly EMI will be ₹15,600.
If you take MRTA, your monthly EMI will be ₹15,840.
This means that you will save ₹240 per month by not taking MRTA.
I know it's not a big deal, but it's of no use.
Best Alternative Option you can choose :
✅ Term life insurance.
✅ Whole life insurance.
✅ Critical illness insurance.
✅ Unemployment insurance.
Note: Pls, Do your own research before investing in any insurance policy.
Hope you get my point !!
