Non-Payment of premium in TATA AIA Life Insurance Fortune Guarantee Plan

Premiums have to be paid for at least two full years otherwise the policy lapses and no benefit is payable. After this compulsory period, the policyholder can surrender the policy or make it paid-up if the premiums are not paid. 

Making the policy Paid-up

If at least two full years’ premium has been paid, the policy would become a paid-up policy if future premiums are not paid. The facility of loan cannot be availed in a paid-up policy. The benefits payable under the plan would be reduced and called Paid-up Benefits which are calculated as follows:

• Death Benefit – The death benefit would be reduced and calculated as follows:
  {Sum Assured on Death *(number of premiums paid/total number of premiums payable)} subject to a minimum of 105% of all premiums paid till death
• Maturity Benefit – The maturity benefit would be the Maturity Sum Assured.

Surrendering the policy

Surrender is allowed only after the policy becomes paid-up, i.e. after two full year’s premiums have been paid. On surrendering the policy, higher of the Guaranteed Surrender Value (GSV) or the Special Surrender Value (SSV) would be paid.

• GSV would depend on the policy year in which the plan is surrendered and is expressed as follows:
  (Total premiums paid* GSV Factor of premiums)
• The SSV factors would be declared by the company based on its performance and would be calculated as follows:
  SSV Factor *Maturity Sum Assured

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.
