What is the right way to opt for term insurance(plan until age of 85 years)?
Is it now or after my birthday?
Yes the insurance premium increasing by 1k annually

How I'm going to benefit if i take this before birthday?
Dont take till 85
It kills the purpose of term insurance
What age is ideal in that case?
75 age
85 is extreme. 70-75 is max you should go for. And pay till retirement (60). There isnt usually much difference between pay till 60 and pay till policy term.
Get it before your birthday. Premium increases with age, and once you get the insurance your premium is locked, unless you add dependents or riders later on.
Get a cover till the age you think you'd be working, say plus 10 years in case you're really concerned. For most people that's usually 58/60 (retirement). Otherwise you'd be paying premium, while you've stopped earning, making it a liability instead of a benefit. If you are confident you'll be able to make the insurance payment, and would rather make sure your death is covered, feel free to get the additional years.
Don't opt for limited term pay, no matter how much the insurance agents try to convince you. Pay till 60 or policy term.
60/65 years is the maximum ideal age.
At this age, you won't have any more liability or dependency, so no better of taking the policy beyond that.
