What Is Premium Payment Term?

Under life insurance policy, an individual can avail life cover for a fixed period of time in exchange of premium payments that are to be made over a period of a time. Premium payment term is the period of time or number of years/months under which the policyholder is required to make the premium payments for his/her life insurance policy. In most cases, the premium payment term is equal to the policy term of a life insurance policy. However, some insurance companies do allow the premium payment term to be shorter than the policy term.
