What does a term plan mean?

Term plan of an insurance company means protection from risk. In the term plan, the insurance company pays the insurance amount only after the death of the policyholder. If the person taking the policy stays well even after the completion of time, then he does not get any benefit.

In fact, term plans are a great way to provide risk protection at a very nominal premium.
