How it works
In this plan, the policyholder can choose either a single pay or premium paying term of 8, 10 or 15 years with policy term of 10 to 35 years (except 11 to 14 years). At the end of the policy term, the higher of Fund Value or assured vesting benefit is paid as Maturity Benefit.
However, if the Annuitant dies within the policy tenure, the higher of Fund Value or 105% Total Premiums paid, are accumulated as Death Benefit. The nominee has an option to take this amount as annuity from or to withdraw the proceeds. Upon the payment of this benefit, the Policy terminates and no further benefits are payable.
