Hello Sandip,

Answers to your questions:

Do they need a term life insurance at this stage?

The simple question to ask is: Will their death cause any kind of financial disruption or change in lifestyle of their family members, dependents? For instance - do they have financial dependents or a financial loan in their name, that is funded through their active earnings? In that case when they pass away these earnings will stop - stopping the servicing of a loan or funding of expenses of a family member.

What sort of health insurance are suggested for them? (No known pre-existing diseases)

Given that there are no known pre-existing diseases, this is the right time to go for the best, flagship health insurance plans in the market that do not have any financial limitations like sub-limits (Room Rent etc.) or copays. Do not delay or procrastinate.
