FAQs
If the policy holder stops paying the premium, the policy lapses and all benefits cease to exist. However, if at least 3 years’ premiums have been passed with up to date premium payment, the policy gets converted to a Paid Up Plan and continues with reduced benefit. The policy can however be revived within 3 years from the due date of the first unpaid premium.
There are Surrender Benefits after 3 years of Regular Premium and 1 year for Single Premium.
Minimum Guaranteed Surrender Benefit- 30% of all premiums paid – 1st year’s premium (for Regular Premium Payment Option) and 90% of Single Premium Paid (for Single Premium Payment Option)
