Inclusions
For Limited premium payment modes and a PPT of less than ten years, if the premiums for the first two policy years are not paid within the Grace Period, nothing can prevent the policy from getting lapsed.
For a PPT of more than ten years, if premiums for the first three policy years are not paid before the Grace Period ends, the policy will lapse. For a Regular premium payment policy, the policy will lapse in case the due premiums are not paid by the end of the Grace Period.
Additional Features or Riders
To revive a lapsed policy, you need to submit a request to reinstate it within a timeframe of two years that starts from the first unpaid premium. If the policyholder is unable to pay the premiums in the provided Grace Period, then the policy acquires a Reduced Paid-up value. Regular payment policies do not acquire a Paid-up Value, as they do not have a Surrender Value.
Exclusions
The term insurance cover equals to zero if the policyholder commits suicide within the first year of buying or reinstating the policy. The user gets 80% of the premiums paid until the death of the policyholder. The nominee gets to receive the Death Benefit if the policyholder commits suicide within six months of reviving the policy.
If the Life Insured commits suicide just in before reviving the policy, the nominee gets a higher of 80% of the Surrender Value or premium paid.
