Commenting on the report, Naval Goel, Founder & CEO, PolicyX.com says, “As per our discussion with most of the insurers, term plan prices are likely to go up further. Fortunately, not all companies have affected the price increase so far. Customers who want to purchase a term plan should not postpone their decision further as they might land up paying 20% higher. The increase is due to the fact the re-insurers have increased their rates.”
