Kotak Eternal Life Premier Shield

Kotak Eternal Life Premier Shield

Kotak Eternal Life Plan-Premier Shield is a Traditional Participating Whole Life Plan. Thus, it is a non-linked Limited Pay Insurance Plan with Bonus facility which continues till 99 years of age.

How it works –In this plan, premiums are paid for the entire Premium Paying Term from 10 to 40 years as selected but the Life Coverage continues till the end of the Policy tenure, that is 99 years. The premium increases by 5% every year till the Life Insured’s age is 50 years so that there is lesser premium at lower age and premium liability rises with higher paying capacity.

This plan offers additional Accidental Disability Benefit for the Premium Payor where the future premiums would be waived off is case of accidental disability of the policyholder.

Simple Reversionary Bonus accrues after 5 policy years and Terminal Bonus after 10 policy years. Thus, on survival till the end of the Premium Paying Term, accrued Reversionary Bonus + Special Terminal Bonus is payable as Survival Benefit and the policy continue.

On Policy Maturity, i.e. if the Life Insured survives till 99 years of age, Sum Assured + Terminal Bonus (if any) would be paid as Maturity Benefit and the policy would be terminated.

However, if the Life Insured dies within the Premium Paying Term, then Sum Assured + accrued Reversionary Bonus + Interim Bonus + Terminal Bonus would be paid as Death Benefit and the policy would be terminated.

But if the Life Insured dies within the Policy Tenure, but after the Premium Paying Term, then Sum Assured + Terminal Bonus would be paid as Death Benefit and the policy would be terminated.

There are 3 additional and 1 in-built riders available in this plan.
