Exclusions in TATA AIA Life Insurance Secure 7 Plan

Non-Payment of premium in TATA AIA Life Insurance Secure 7 Plan
Premiums have to be paid for at least one full year 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 one 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
Survival Benefit – Reduced Guaranteed Annual Incomes would be payable which would be calculated as follows:
Guaranteed Annual Income Percentage as per the policy year * (number of premiums paid/total number of premiums payable) * Annual Premium
Maturity Benefit – The maturity benefit would be calculated as follows:
25% of the basic Sum Assured * (number of premiums paid/total number of premiums payable)
Surrendering the policy
Surrender is allowed only after the policy becomes paid-up, i.e. after one 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) – Survival benefits already paid
The SSV factors would be declared by the company based on its performance and would be calculated as follows:
SSV Factor * * (number of premiums paid / total number of premiums payable) * (total guaranteed benefits payable under the plan) – Survival benefits already paid.
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.
