Listed below are some other benefits of the plan, other than the ones previously mentioned:

1. Option to take the plan for a dependent person

   Suppose the person buying the plan has a dependent with a disability. In that case, they can choose the Deferred Annuity for a Single life option, with the dependant as the nominee, with a minimum purchase price of 50,000/-. If the policyholder passes away and the purchase price is less than 1,50,000, the death benefit will be used to buy an immediate annuity for the dependent. The annuity payments to the dependant will be based on prevailing Immediate Annuity rates without any restrictions.

2. Incentive on High Purchase Price

   You get rewards for choosing a higher purchase price in three categories:

   • Rs 5,00,000 to Rs 9,99,999; 

   • Rs 10,00,000 to Rs 24,99,999; and 

   • Rs 25,00,000 and above. 

   The incentive depends on the purchase price and how long you wait before starting annuity payments (deferment period). The reward increases as you move to a higher purchase price category and choose a more extended deferment period.
