Exclusions in TATA AIA Life Insurance iRaksha TROP Plan
If the policyholder commits suicide within a year of policy issuance or revival, total premiums paid would be returned and no death benefit would be payable
If suicide is committed within 12 months of reviving a lapsed policy, higher of total premiums paid or the Surrender Value acquired would be paid.
Non-Payment of premium in TATA AIA Life Insurance iRaksha TROP Plan
Premiums have to be paid for 2 years (if the premium paying term is 5 years) or 3 years (for regular premium plans or limited pay plans of 10 years) failing which the policy lapses and no benefits are payable. If the premiums have been paid for the minimum specified duration and thereafter the premiums are discontinued, the policy can be surrendered, made paid-up or revived.
Making the policy Paid-up
One can make the policy paid-up only if 2/3 years’ premiums have been paid. On making the policy paid-up, the death benefit would be reduced while the maturity benefit would remain same. The benefits payable would be as follows:
Reduced Death benefit – Paid-up Sum Assured where Paid-up Sum Assured = (total premiums paid/total premiums payable)*Sum Assured
Maturity Benefit – total premiums paid under the plan would be returned as maturity benefit.
Surrendering the policy
The plan acquires a Surrender Value provided at least 2 years’ premiums have been paid if the premium paying term is 5 years or 3 years’ premiums have been paid, if the premium paying term is 10 years and above. For single premium plans, the Surrender Value is available from the first policy year itself. On surrendering the plan, higher of the Guaranteed Surrender Value (GSV) or the Cash Surrender Value (CSV) would be paid to the policyholder.
GSV = GSV Factor * total premiums paid till the date of surrender
CSV = CSV Factor * total premiums paid till the date of surrender.
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.
