Bandhan Life iTerm Prime

Bandhan Life's flagship term plan, with cover from ₹25 lakh and no stated upper limit. Its distinctive feature is how the term is set: instead of picking a fixed number of years, you choose a ceiling age and the term is calculated from your entry age, up to 85 less your age at entry.

What iTerm Prime does, and what it does not

Term insurance is a narrow product, so the useful question is not how this plan scores against a benchmark – it is what it pays for and what it leaves out. Both lists come from Bandhan Life's own documents.

What this plan does
01Cover from ₹25 lakh with no fixed upper limit
02Term set by a ceiling age rather than a fixed number of years
03Cover can run to age 85
What it does not do
01Maturity benefit nothing is paid if you survive the term
03Exclusions

iTerm Prime exclusions: what the plan will not pay for

Every policy carries exclusions, and they are the clauses people read for the first time at claim stage. These are the ones worth knowing before you buy.

Not coveredIndicative, not exhaustive. Your policy wording is the contract.
01Suicide within 12 months of policy commencement or revival the payout is limited to a return of premiums, per the standard clause. Read the policy wording for the exact percentage.
04The honest bit

Where iTerm Prime falls short

No plan is right for everyone, and a page that only lists strengths is not much use to you. These are the gaps we would raise on a call before recommending it.

Worth knowing before you buyNone of these are dealbreakers on their own. They are the trade-offs this plan asks you to accept.
01Bandhan Life draws 39.67 complaints per 10,000, averaged over 2022-25. Its settlement ratio is among the highest in the industry at 99.6%, but those two numbers measure different things – claims get paid, and the process still generates well above-average complaints.
02Bought through a bank or a point-of-sale agent rather than online, the maximum cover is far lower – it drops to 65 less your entry age. Check which channel you are being sold through.
03The term is derived from a ceiling age rather than chosen directly, which makes it harder to line up against a fixed-term quote from another insurer.
04No maturity benefit. Survive the term and nothing comes back.
