How it works

tab-how-it-works-header-icon
In this plan, premium needs to be paid in a lumpsum while the policy continues for the entire policy tenure of 10 years. The premium paid, net of charges, is invested in Pension Fund. At the end of the policy term, the higher of Fund Value or 101% of single premium +Top Up (if any) is accumulated as Maturity Benefit. The Corpus accumulated during the entire policy tenure is used to provide annuity once the policy matures.
At the time of vesting, i.e. on Policy Maturity or Surrender, there are a few options available to the policyholder:
  1. Purchase HDFC Life Immediate Annuity Plan or any other Annuity Provider for the full corpus
  2. Withdraw 1/3rd of the corpus tax free under section 10(10)A and purchase annuity for the remaining 2/3rd of the corpus
  3. Use the proceeds or corpus to purchase another single premium deferred annuity plan
  4. If age of policyholder is less than 55 years, then he can extend the deferment / accumulation period for another 5 years and remain invested without additional payment of premium
Now, if the policyholder wishes to purchase annuity, then he would have to purchase HDFC Life Immediate Annuity Plan as per the rules of IRDA. Now, in this Immediate Annuity Plan, the accumulated corpus will be paid as a single premium to purchase annuity. In this plan, there are 5 annuity options to avail from:
  1. Life Annuity
  2. Joint Life Annuity
  3. Life Annuity with Return of Purchase Price
  4. Life Annuity with Guarantee upto 15 years
  5. Life Annuity Return of Balance Purchase Price
However, if the Annuitant dies within the policy tenure, the higher of Fund Value or 101% of single premium +Top Up (if any) is accumulated as Death Benefit. The nominee has the option to take this amount as annuity or withdraw the entire proceeds as Death Benefit and terminate the plan.

angle down iconWhat if I stop paying the premium?
Being a single premium plan; there is no requirement of further payment of premium.
angle down iconWhat if I want to surrender the policy ?
 If you surrender the plan before the 5th policy year, the fund value would be moved to the Discontinued Fund and will earn a minimum guaranteed interest as prescribed by the IRDA. The Fund Value would be paid out after the completion of the 5th policy year.
However, if you surrender the plan after the 5th policy year, the Fund Value would be paid out as Surrender Benefit which can be availed as an annuity option, as per annuity guidelines of the IRDA.
