Kotak Single Invest Advantage Plan
Kotak Single Invest Advantage Plan is a Single Premium Unit Linked Plan. Thus, it is a Linked Insurance Plan without Bonus facility.
How it works – In this plan, premium needs to be paid in a Lumpsum as it is a Single Premium Plan. This plan provides Loyalty Additions of 2.25% to 3% of the last 3 years’ average Fund Value.
There are 2 Options for choosing Death Benefit in this plan:
Option I - Basic Sum Assured = 5 X Single Premium paid. Thus, if the Life Insured dies within the first year of the Policy Tenure, Death Benefit payable is higher of Basic Sum Assured or Fund Value. However, if the Life Insured dies in any year from 2nd Policy Year onwards, then Death Benefit payable is higher of 25% of Basic Sum Assured or Fund Value
Option 2 - Basic Sum Assured = 1.25 X Single Premium paid. Thus, if the Life Insured dies in any year within the Policy Tenure, the Death Benefit payable is higher of Basic Sum Assured or Fund Value.
However, when the policy matures, the entire Fund Value is paid to the policyholder as the Maturity Benefit and the policy terminates.
There are 8 Funds in this plan for Investment Purpose.
