ICICI Prudential Elite Life Plan
ICICI Prudential Elite Life Plan is a simple Unit Linked Insurance Plan. Thus, it is a Non-Traditional Insurance Plan without Bonus facility.
How it works – In this plan, premium needs to be paid either in a lumpsum under One Pay or for 5 years under 5 Pay but in an annual mode. The premiums paid by you are invested based on the investment fund chosen by you after deduction of charges, in addition to providing life cover. This plan offers Loyalty Additions from the 6th year onwards of 0.25% of the average daily Fund Value from 6th to 10th policy year and 0.6% from the 11th year onwards. Thus, once the Loyalty additions are paid, the effective Fund Management Charge is offset by that amount.
The Fund Value is paid as Maturity Benefit on survival till the end of the policy tenure. However, if the Life Insured dies within the policy tenure, higher of the Sum Assured or the Fund Value is paid as Death Benefit and the policy terminates.

What happens if?
You stop paying the premium before 5 years - If the policy holder stops paying the premium, the insurance cover will cease and the fund value net of any discontinuance charge will be transferred to the Discontinued Policy Fund. The Discontinued Policy Fund will be credited with a minimum interest rate. and the proceeds from this will be payable after the fifth policy anniversary. In case of death of the Life Assured during this period, only the accumulated fund value will be payable to the nominee.
The policy can however be revived within 2 years from the date of discontinuance but not later than the expiry of any lock-in period.
You stop paying the premium after 5 years - If the policy holder stops paying the premium after 5 years, then the accumulated policy fund amount till the date of discontinuance shall be paid to the policy holder and the policy will terminate immediately.
You want to surrender the policy – Surrender is allowed only after 5 policy years. Thus, if the policyholder surrenders the policy after completion of 5 policy years, then the insurance cover will cease and your fund value shall be paid immediately and the policy would be terminated.
You want a loan against your policy - There is no loan available under this plan.
