Grace Period: The policyholder has no more than 30 days to pay the unpaid premium. In case of monthly and Payroll Savings Program payments, the timeframe is 15 days. Failure to pay the premium within this timeframe causes the policy to lapse and it will be subject to non-forfeiture benefits.
Policy Termination or Surrender Benefit: The policy gets terminated on the earliest of the following: (1) the date on the which the policy is surrendered. (2) At the end of two years from the date that the policy lapsed; and (3) on the payment of maturity benefit in case the policy matures.
If all policy premiums have been paid for three policy years, then the policy acquires a Surrender value. This value is equal to the maximum of Guaranteed Surrender Value (GSV)and the Special Surrender Value (SSV). The GSV is based on a percentage of Total Premiums paid and the discounted value of accrued Simple Reversionary Bonus. The SSV depends on the then prevailing market conditions and is not guaranteed.
Free Look Period: The policy may be returned within a timeframe of 15 days on receiving the policy documents and on stating the reasons for the objections to the terms and conditions of the policy. The policyholder is then entitled to a refund of the premium minus a proportionate premium for the time on risk that the company has borne.
The policy acquires Paid Up Value if premiums are paid for a minimum of three policy years and no further due premiums are paid. It will then be eligible for a Reduced Paid Up Value.
The policyholder can reinstate a lapsed policy by submitting a written request within two years from the date of the first unpaid premium. Reinstatement is subject to sufficient evidence being provided of insurability to the company. Furthermore, the policyholder has to pay all due premiums and interest accrued up to the date of reinstatement.

#The lumpsum benefit is calculated if policyholder invested ₹10000 monthly for 10 years in the fund with a policy term of 20 years. This Point To Point past performance data of last 10 years has been used to illustrate a scenario for the customers benefit. It is assumed that the past 10 years returns would have also been delivered in last 20 years. This is not guaranteed and not in anyway indicative of what the customer may actually get 20 years from now. The investment is subject to market risk and the risk is borne by the policyholder.
