What is MRTA?

How does this MRTA works?

MRTA stands for Mortgage Reducing Term Assurance (MRTA)

What does it mean?It’s a Term – therefore, it’s a Life InsuranceReducing – The cover reduces with timeMortgage – It is bought when getting a loan for buying a property

•MRTA is purchased when a buyer of a property is getting a mortgage loan •MRTA is purchased in a lump sum mode at the inception of a mortgage loan•MRTA supposed to (not always) settle the balance of the mortgage loan if the buyer of the property is no longer around or suffers Total Permanent Disability (TPD)

Is it compulsory?MRTA is not compulsory!

Most likely he will require a housing loan (mortgage) …

MORTGAGE LOANThis amount of loan (together with

interest) needs to be paid in monthly installments for a number

of years

MRTAIs purchased when

getting this loan in the hope to settle balance of housing loan in the

event the buyer passes away or suffers TPD

Because ….

It should (but not always) take care of the outstanding mortgage loan, in the event the Purchaser passed away or suffered Total Permanent Disability (TPD) before settling

his loan

&

Mortgage loans will reduce with time and as such it is not a bad idea to get a reducing cover

Well, that is the number 1 setback of MRTA

Click to advance …

The cover of MRTA may fall short of the outstanding loan amount and …

In the event of death or TPD of the insured (under MRTA) may still have a balance of loan amount to be settled!

Setbacks of MRTA:No 1: MRTA cover may fall short of loan amount

Setbacks of MRTA:

No 2:- MRTA has no cash surrender value & it is non-transferable

What happens to the MRTA?

1. When you sell the earlier house to buy a new one?2. When you refinance your existing housing loan?3. When you settle your housing loan?

It just gets burnt!

Why?

1. Because it’s a Term – no cash surrender value2. Its non-transferable

Setbacks of MRTA:

No 3:- Financial Burden

MRTA premium needs to be purchased in one lump sum.

And it needs to be purchased when getting the loan.

This may sometime pose financial burden to the buyer!

Some even incorporate MRTA premium into the housing loan and end-up paying more interest!

This is why I said Life Insurance can be FREE!

there are life insurance plans that gives

Guaranteed Cash Value
