Non-Payment of premium in Aegon Life Regular Money Back Insurance Plan
Premiums have to be paid for at least 2 years if the premium paying term is 7 years or 3 years if the premium paying term is 10 years. After this compulsory period, the policyholder can surrender the policy or make it paid-up.
Making the policy Paid-up
If at least2 or 3 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 * 150%} – total Guaranteed Money Back payouts already paid
Surrendering the policy
Surrender is allowed only after the policy becomes paid-up, i.e. after 2 or 3 full years’ premiums have been paid depending on the chosen Premium Paying Term. Single pay plans acquire a Surrender Value immediately. On surrendering the policy, higher of the Guaranteed Surrender Value (GSV) or the Special Surrender Value (SSV) would be paid.
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.
