The premium requirements for a policy are described in which provision?

• A. Insurance clause
• B. Entire Contract clause
• C. Consideration clause
• D. Premium mode

Answer: (C)

In a life insurance policy, the premium you pay is the consideration that supports the contract—the insured’s promise to pay and the insurer’s promise to provide coverage in return. The consideration clause lays out what each party gives and when, including the premium amount, the due dates, and the form or mode of payment. It also often notes what happens if payments aren’t made, such as lapse or reinstatement options. That’s why premium requirements are described there: it’s the part of the contract that defines the exchange that makes the agreement binding.

The other provisions address different aspects. The premium mode only tells you how often payments occur (monthly, quarterly, yearly) but not the whole package of premium terms. The entire contract clause states that the policy and riders constitute the whole agreement between the parties. The insuring clause describes the insurer’s promise to pay benefits, not the details of premium payments.
