HDFC Life New Immediate Annuity Plan

What is HDFC Life New Immediate Annuity Plan?

The HDFC Life New Immediate Annuity Plan is a retirement saving plan option designed to provide you with a steady income stream after you retire. It's a single premium plan, meaning you invest a lump sum amount upfront and then receive regular payouts throughout your retirement.

The minimum amount you need to invest will depend on the prevailing annuity rates. For instance, if you're a 50-year-old male opting for a life annuity with an annuity rate of 8.63%, the minimum investment might be ₹1,15,875. This rate can fluctuate, and hence the minimum investment amount may change. However, once you've purchased the plan, the annuity payout is guaranteed for your lifetime.
