How it works

tab-how-it-works-header-icon
  • The policyholder decides on the amount of single premium he wants to pay, the fund in which the premiums are to be invested and the Sum Assured of the plan.
  • After deduction of the applicable charges, the premium is invested in the policyholder’s chosen fund.
  • There are 3 fund options to choose from which are:
    • Bluechip Equity Fund
    • Secure Fund
    • Debt Fund
  • The premium paid, net of the applicable allocation charge is invested in the above funds based on the policyholder’s risk profile.
  • If the policyholder dies during the tenure of the plan the death benefit is paid.
  • If the plan attains maturity, the maturity benefit is paid.
