Smart Wealth Assure from SBI Life is a single premium guaranteed returns Unit Linked Insurance Plan, where a minimum return is guaranteed and the maximum returns depend on market performance. Thus, you pay premium only once and be covered throughout the policy term, such that if you die within the tenure, your nominee would get the Sum Assured or Fund Value, whichever is higher as Death Benefit. You have a choice of investing in Return Guarantee Fund, where the minimum return is guaranteed and the maximum would depend on the market performance or in the open market in 3 funds available where the risk of investment lies with the policyholder, or take a mixture of the two options. Either ways, you will get the Fund Value on maturity.
Death Benefit – In case of death of the policy holder, the nominee gets the higher of the sum assured under the plan or the Fund Value at the prevailing NAV, with a minimum of 105% of the Single Premium paid.
Maturity Benefit – The policyholder would get the Fund Value at the prevailing NAV for the amount invested in the Bond, Equity and P/E Managed Funds PLUS he would get the amount invested in Return Guarantee Fund at the prevailing NAV or the minimum guaranteed NAV, whichever is higher of the two.
Income Tax Benefit - Life Insurance premiums paid up to Rs. 1,00,000 are allowed as a deduction from the taxable income each year under section 80C
