Plan Details
Let's Understand The Plan With An Example:
Mr.Mahesh (age 35 years) is employed with a private firm. His wife does not work and they have a son Ajay, who is 10 years old. Being the sole bread earner of the family, Mahesh is aware of the need to secure his family financially. He knows his personal saving alone cannot suffice and help his family with a regular income. Hence, he relies on Aegon Life’s Easy Protect Insurance Plan.
His plan details are as follows:
Policy Term: 10 years
Premium Payment Term: 10 years
Annualised Premium: Rs.2714 (exclusive of service tax)
Mr.Mahesh dies after 2 years
Premiums paid by Mahesh = Rs.2,714 X 2 years = Rs.5,428 + tax
Death Benefit = Rs.10,000 each month for 10 years.
Hence, total payout is Rs.12,00,000.
