I agree with all of the above comments. Basically, life insurance is a non-personal insurance contract where the policyholder and the person being insured do not have to be the same person. General insurance is always a personal contract where the insurance company contracts with you directly for insurance protection.

Life insurance is very wide category of insurance which can be subdivided into health/medical insurance, term insurance, mediclaim and more...Means any kind of insurance policy that directly relate with human life, known as life insurance. Whereas general insurance can be take as non-life insurance which provides for the thing that related to humans assests/liability like home, car, education and more..car insurance policy comes under general insurance category.

Life insurance is an assurance of a person’s life. In other words life insurance is taken to cover for loss of life and non-life insurance is General Insurance such as Motor Insurance, Health Insurance and Travel Insurance.
