Key Features

• The policy provides coverage for the duration of the entire life, or ninety-nine years to be precise.

• The policyholder may allocate their investments in any of the 7 unit-linked funds.

• The policyholder can manage their investment portfolio through features such as premium redirection, switching between funds, and Auto Funds Rebalancing options.

Benefits

• On survival until the end of the policy, the policyholder will receive a Maturity Benefit that is the Fund Value as on the date of maturity.

• In the unfortunate event of the demise of the policyholder, the nominee receives a Death Benefit. The Death Benefit payable is the higher of:

• The Fund Value, or

• The Sum Assured minus any partial withdrawals, or

• 105% of all premiums paid.

• Based on the customer’s appetite for risk, there is a choice of seven Unit-Linked Funds for investment.

• At the end of the tenth policy year and the fifteenth policy year, the company pays Loyalty Additions.

• The policy offers features such as the Auto Rebalancing option and Switching to help the policyholders manage their investment portfolios.

• The Auto Rebalancing option maintains the allocation of investments across all funds in a specific proportion throughout the policy term. It is opted for at the inception of the policy. Every three-policy months, the policy automatically rebalances the allocation of the investments in various funds to the allocation proportions as chosen by the policyholder.

• Switching allows policyholders to move their investments across the seven funds in a systematic manner at any point during the policy term. However, the minimum amount that can be switched is capped at Rs. 10,000. 

• The policyholder may increase or decrease the Sum Assured as per their changing needs across the different stages of life. This change can be done from the sixth policy year onwards.

• Partial withdrawals are allowed from the sixth policy year onward. These withdrawals can be done in multiples of Rs. 1,000 to take care of one’s liquidity needs without surrendering the policy. 

• Tax benefits are available as per sections 80(C) and 10 (10D) of the Income Tax Act.

Policy Details

• Grace Period: The policy gives policyholders thirty days to pay all due premiums. The policy will acquire a “Discontinued” status if payment is not made within the applicable timeframe.

• Policy Termination or Surrender Benefit: If the policy is surrendered before the completion of 5 years, then the insurance cover ceases, and the Fund Value will be transferred to the Discontinued Policy Fund. Proceeds from this will be payable only after the fifth policy anniversary. In case of the death of the Life Assured during this period, only the accumulated fund value will be payable to the nominee. After completing five policy years, if it is surrendered, then there is no Surrender/Discontinuance Charges, the Fund Value is paid to the policyholder, and the policy will terminate immediately. If the policy is not reinstated within the revival period, the policy is terminated. Termination of the policy also occurs on payment of the Death Benefit. The policy will also automatically terminate if at any time the Fund Value falls below or become equal to one year’s regular premium because of poor market performance. In that case, the Fund Value is paid to the policyholder.

• Free Look Period: Policyholders have a limited free look period of 15 days from the date of receiving policy documents to review the policy. If the policyholder does not wish to continue with the policy, then he or she can cancel the policy. The customer will receive the Fund Value plus the unallocated premium minus a proportionate premium for the risk borne by the company, including any extra expenses, such as towards a medical examination or stamp duty charges.
