How it works

tab-how-it-works-header-icon
 In this plan, premium needs to be paid for the entire policy tenure that can be chosen from 7 to 20 years. The Sum Assured can be chosen from Rs 1,00,000 to Rs 5,00,000.
In this plan, the Sum Assured increases every year by 5% with a maximum increase upto 50% of the initial Sum Assured. The increase automatically stops after the 10th policy year and remains constant thereafter.
Let us understand by taking an example of an initial Sum Assured of Rs 1,00,000 for a policy of 20 years. The Sum Assured increases by 5% every year of Rs 5,000. The Sum Assured finally becomes Rs 1,50,000 in 10 policy years which does not increase any further and continues to remain the same for the next 10 years.
