In life at every point of time you need money to fulfill your and your 
family’s requirement, but what about when you would not be there to look
 after your family.
Let’s take an example:
Mr.
 Akhil was living with his loving wife and two children. He was in 
service and getting a salary of Rs 40000/- and other hidden income 
(which one receive through the employment but that isn’t part of gross 
wages). He was fulfilling his family’s requirements to the fullest and 
enjoying every moment of their
lives. Unfortunately he expired at
 age of 35. The surviving member did not have any source of income after
 his death, but fortunately he had a Life Insurance Cover. So his wife 
got the money (Sum Assured) from the insurance which she wisely 
invested. The loss of her husband cannot be compensated but with the 
money she got from the insurance company she was able to run her house 
smoothly.
Mr. Bhaskar whose income and family circumstances were 
the same as Mr. Akhil’s. Mr. Bhaskar expired at age of 35, but 
unfortunately he did not have a Life Insurance Policy. So their 
situation was completely opposite. His wife and children had to face a 
lot of problems with no such income. They had compromise with the many 
important things in life like studies, children’s marriage, their 
health, standard of living etc.
The fact is, it's always a loss 
which you suffer when you lose someone you love. But your emotional 
struggles don't need to be compounded by financial difficulties. Life 
insurance helps make sure that the people you care about will be 
provided for financially, even if you're not there to care for them 
yourself.
In short Life Insurance is the way to keep your family independent with you and after you.
