Kotak Wealth Insurance Plan
Kotak Wealth Insurance Plan
Kotak Wealth Insurance Plan is a unit linked insurance plan (ULIP) such that if the Life Insured dies within the policy tenure, the nominee would receive Triple Death Benefit. The nominee would receive Sum Assured, Fund Value and Lump Sum Benefit of all future premiums paid.
This plan has the unique feature of Death Benefit payment when the Life Insured and the Policyholder dies, in case they are separate. So for example, if a person takes the policy for his wife, then he is the policyholder who pays the premium and his wife is the Life Insured, on whose name the policy has been issued. Now, if he dies within the policy tenure, then a Lump Sum Benefit would be paid since the payor is not alive anymore. And in case, if the Life insured, i.e. the wife dies, then the beneficiary would get Sum Assured plus Fund Value as Death Benefit of the Life Insured.
