Option to customise your plan and to enhance protection at key milestones in your life

This plan has 4 options to choose from. You can choose these options only at the time of purchase. We will understand these options in detail below.

Option 1 - Level Cover Benefit

In this option, the policyholder pays the premiums regularly and in case of the death of the policyholder at any time during the policy term, the sum assured will be paid in lumpsum to the nominee and the policy stops.

There is no maturity benefit or return of premium at the end of the policy.

Example: Vikram who is 30 years old takes this plan for a 35 years policy term. His premium will be Rs. 9,331 per year for 1 crore cover amount if he is healthy and a non-smoker.

So he has this cover till the age of 65 years. In case of any unfortunate event within these 35 years, his nominee will receive Rs. 1 crore and the policy will terminate.

Option 2 - Increasing Cover

In this option, the cover amount increases by 5% every year, to a maximum cover amount of 2 times the base cover amount. The policyholder pays the premiums regularly and in case of the death of the policyholder at any time during the policy term, the last increased sum assured will be paid in lumpsum to the nominee and the policy stops.

The premium does not increase every year. There is no maturity benefit or return of premium at the end of the policy.

Example: Vikram who is 30 years old takes this plan for a 35 years policy term. His premium will be Rs. 14,713 per year for 1 crore cover amount if he is healthy and a non-smoker.

His cover amount will increase by 5% of 1 crore every year = Rs. 5 lakhs. Once the cover amount becomes 2 times, that is 2 crore, there will be no more increase and it will stay at 2 crores for the rest of the policy term. So in case of the death of Vikram after the 20th policy year, his nominee will receive Rs. 2 crores in lumpsum and the policy terminates.

Option 3 - Level Cover Plus Income

This option is good in case the policyholder wants to leave a regular monthly income for the nominee in addition to the lumpsum amount payable on death. In case of the policyholder’s death during the policy term, the sum assured will be paid as lumpsum and a monthly income of 1% of the sum assured will be paid every month for the next 10 years.

Example: Vikram who is 27 years old takes this plan for a 35 years policy term. His premium will be Rs. 15,322 per year for 1 crore cover amount if he is healthy and a non-smoker.

So in case of the death of Vikram after the 20th policy year, his nominee will receive Rs. 1 crore in lumpsum. Additionally, his nominee will receive 1% of 1 crore, that is Rs. 1 lakh, every month for the next 10 years. During the income period, the nominee can choose to take the discounted value of all future income payouts, at the prevailing interest rate, in lumpsum.

Option 4 - Whole Life Cover

This is a whole life cover, which means the cover continues for the entire life of the policyholder. The premiums need to be paid only till the age of 65 years and the cover continues for the rest of his life.

Example: Vikram who is 30 years old takes this whole life plan.There is no specific policy term. His premium will be Rs. 62,970 per year for 1 crore cover amount if he is healthy and a non-smoker. He needs to pay the premiums till the age of 65 years.

So in case of the death of Vikram at any point of time, his nominee will receive Rs. 1 crore in lumpsum. He has to pay premiums till the age of 65 years.

You can increase the cover amount on specific events during the term of the policy. You can avail this rider benefit by paying extra premiums. The increase can be as follows:

You have to make this increase within 180 days of the event.

You can increase your life insurance coverage by 10% on the 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th policy anniversaries. Each increase can be of maximum Rs. 5 lakhs and the collective increases should be a maximum of Rs. 20 lakhs. You have to exercise this option within 30 days of the anniversary.

n case you are not satisfied with the policy after receiving the policy documents, you can cancel the policy and get a refund. The can cancel the policy within the freelook period as defined here:

• Within 15 days in case the policy is not purchased electronically or through distance marketing
• Within 30 days in case the policy is purchased electronically or through distance marketing

You can surrender the plan only in the case of the Whole Life Option. This can be done if 3 years of premiums have been paid. Surrender Value = 70% of Total Premiums Paid multiplied by (Maximum of 0 and (100 less Age at surrender) divided by (100 less Age at Entry))
