angle down iconNon-Payment of premium in Aegon Life Jeevan Shanti Insurance Plan

Premiums have to be paid for at least 3 years after which the policyholder can surrender the policy or make it paid-up.

Making the policy Paid-up

If at least3 full years’ premium has been paid, the policy would become a paid-up policy if future premiums are not paid. The benefits under the plan would be reduced and would be called Paid-up benefits. Bonuses would not be declared under the policy and the following benefits would be paid as and when they occur:

  • Death Benefit – Paid-up Sum Assured on death + accrued bonus
    Paid up Sum Assured on death= (number of premiums paid/ number of premiums payable) * (higher of 10 times the annual premium or the Sum Assured)
  • Maturity benefit – Paid-up Sum Assured on Maturity + vested bonus
    Paid-up Sum Assured on Maturity = (number of premiums paid/ number of premiums payable) * Sum Assured
angle down iconSurrendering the policy

Surrender is allowed only after the policy becomes paid-up, i.e. after 3 full years’ premiums have been paid. On surrendering the policy, higher of the Guaranteed Surrender Value (GSV) or the Special Surrender Value (SSV) would be paid.

  • GSV = (Basic Premium paid excluding taxes * GSV Factor)+ (Vested bonuses * GSVfactor of bonus)
  • The SSV factors would be declared by the company based on its performance

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.
