Maturity Benefit

When the plan attains maturity and if all due premiums have been paid the maturity benefit would be the sum of all premiums paid till maturity.

Death Benefit

If the life insured dies during the tenure of the plan and if the policy is in-force, the Sum Assure is paid to the nominee.

Terminal Illness Benefit

If the insured suffers from any kind of Terminal Illness during the plan tenure, 25% of the Sum Assured would be paid immediately to the policyholder. All future premiums would be waived off and the plan would continue. If the policyholder dies after receiving the benefit and during the plan tenure, the death benefit payable would be reduced by the Terminal Illness Benefit already paid. On maturity, the maturity benefit would be paid.

If found unsatisfactory, the plan can be cancelled within this period and the premium paid would be refunded after deducting the relevant mortality charge, service tax, cess and stamp duty paid.

How it works

tab-how-it-works-header-icon
  • The policyholder chooses the Sum Assured, plan tenure and the premium paying tenure based on which the amount of premium payable is determined.
  • Premiums can be paid either in one lump sum as a Single premium, for a limited tenure of 5 years as Limited Premiums or for the entire duration of the plan as Regular Premiums.
  • In case of death, the death benefit available under the plan is paid.
  • When the plan matures, the premiums paid are returned.

Let's Understand The Plan With An Example:

Ms.Shalini (age 30 years) is an executive with a multinational firm. She is married to an adventure sports professional. They have a daughter, Anuja, who is 3 years old. While they lead a good lifestyle with an owned house and car, both are availed through loans. Shalini is aware that life is uncertain and her husband's profession does not allow him to take a very high insurance cover in his name. Hence she relies on Aegon Life's iReturn Insurance Plan.

Her plan details are as follows:
Cover Amount (Base Sum Assured): Rs.75 lakhs, Policy Term: 20 years, Premium Payment Term: 20 years, Base Premium: Rs.14,850/-. Additionally, she opts for the Women CI Rider and iCI Rider to take care of any critical illnesses. She also wants to ensure that this policy's benefits are accrued come what may, hence she opts for Waiver of Premium on CI Rider. Additional premium for Riders: Rs.2939/- p.a.

Total Payout = Rs.1.04 crore (on diagnosis of ovarian cancer: Rs. 25 lakhs for iCI Rider and Rs.3.75 lakhs for Women CI Rider + Rs.75 lakhs cover amount on death

Total Payout = All premiums returned = Rs.2,97,000/- i.e. Rs. 14,850 * 20 years

FAQs

tab-faqs-header-icon
angle down iconNon-Payment of premium in Aegon Life iReturn Insurance Plan

Premiums have to be paid for 2 years (if the premium paying term is 5 years) or 3 years (for regular premium plans) failing which the policy lapses and no benefits are payable. If the premiums have been paid for the minimum specified duration and thereafter the premiums are discontinued, the policy can be surrendered, made paid-up or revived.

Making the policy Paid-up

One can make the policy paid-up only if 2/3 years’ premiums have been paid. On making the policy paid-up, the death benefit would be reduced while the maturity benefit would remain same. The benefits payable would be as follows:
Death benefit – Paid-up Sum Assured where Paid-up Sum Assured = (total premiums paid/total premiums payable)*Sum Assured
Maturity Benefit – total premiums paid under the plan would be returned as maturity benefit.

angle down iconSurrendering the policy

The plan acquires a Surrender Value provided at least 2 years’ premiums have been paid if the premium paying term is 5 years or 3 years’ premiums have been paid, if the premium paying term is 10 years and above. For single premium plans, the Surrender Value is available from the first policy year itself. On surrendering the plan, higher of the Guaranteed Surrender Value (GSV) or the Special Surrender Value (SSV) would be paid to the policyholder.

  • GSV = GSV Factor * total premiums paid till the date of surrender
  • SSV = SSV Factor * total premiums paid till the date of surrender.

Revival

Revival is allowed within 2 years from the date of the first unpaid premium. The policyholder would be required to pay the outstanding premium and any interest charged by the insurer to revive his policy.
