Non-Payment of premium in SBI Life Smart Swadhan Plus Plan

Premiums have to be paid for at least 2 years or 3 years depending on the premium paying tenure chosen after which the policyholder can surrender the policy or make it paid-up.

Making the policy Paid-up

If at least 2 or 3 full years’ premium has been paid depending on the premium paying term, the policy would become a paid-up policy if future premiums are not paid. Paid-up is available only in limited premium plans. The Sum Assured would be reduced and would be called the Paid-up Sum Assured

• Death Benefit – On death, the Paid-up Sum Assured on death would be paid which can be calculated as:

              Sum Assured on death* (number of Premiums Paid / total number of premiums payable)
 

• Maturity benefit – On maturity the Paid-up Sum Assured on maturity would be paid which can be calculated as:

              Maturity benefit* (number of Premiums Paid / total number of premiums payable)
 

Surrendering the policy

• For limited premium plans
  Surrender is allowed only after the policy becomes paid-up. On surrendering the policy, higher of the Guaranteed Surrender Value (GSV) or the Special Surrender Value (SSV) would be paid.
  • GSV = Basic Premium paid excluding taxes * GSV Factor 
  • The SSV would be declared by the company based on its performance and would be calculated as:
    Basic premiums paid * SSV factors

• For Single Premium Plans
  Single premium plans can be surrendered anytime during the plan tenure. On surrender higher of the GSV or the SSV would be payable.
  • GSV if plan is surrendered within first 3 years – 70% of the Single premium
  • GSV if plan is surrendered after 3 years - 90% of the Single premium
  • SSV is declared based on the performance of the company and would be SSV factor* Single premium

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.
