How Does the Plan Work?
The individual has to select the plan option at inception. The benefit is paid to the nominee in case of the unfortunate death of the life insured during the policy term. The following are the plan options:
- Classic Option – Higher of sum assured or policy fund value.
- Assured Option – Sum assured is paid on the unfortunate event of the death of the policyholder. The policy will continue till maturity, and all the future installment premiums shall be paid by the insurance company.
The individual has to select the basic premium based on which your basic sum assured is automatically determined. The formula is:
- The higher of 10 or the policy term divided by 2, for entry ages below 45 years
- The higher of 10 or the policy term divided by 4, for entry ages 45 years and above
The individual has to decide the premium paying term of between 5 and 40 years. The individual has to decide the policy term based on the plan option chosen; that is:
|
Plan Options |
Minimum Policy Term |
Maximum Policy term |
|
Classic Option |
10 years |
For 5-pay – 20 years For 6-pay – 35 years For 7-pay and above – 40 years |
|
Assured Option |
10 years |
For 5-, 6-, and 7-pay – 15 years For 8-pay and above – 40 years |
The individual has to select any one of the following investment options:
- Smart Option – Under this option, the policyholder’s portfolio will be structured as per his/her maturity date and risk profile. Over time, the allocation is managed such that it will automatically switch from riskier assets to safer assets progressively as the plan approaches maturity.
- Systematic Transfer Option – This option safeguards your wealth against market volatilities and is available only if the policyholder has opted for the annual mode. Under STP, at inception, s/he can choose to transfer the fund on monthly basis or weekly basis. The policyholder can choose up to 4 funds that can be transferred for the premium.
- Return Optimiser Option – This option enables the policyholder to take advantage of the equity market, protect his/her gains from future market volatility, and create a more stable sequencing of investment returns.
- Self-Managed Option – Under this option, the policyholder gets access to a well-established suite of 15 segregated funds, complete control in how to invest his/her premiums, and full freedom to switch from one segregated fund to another.
Now, let’s understand the further actions of this plan with the help of various benefits offered.
Death Benefits
The death benefits differ based on the option the policyholder has chosen:
- Classic Option – In case of the unfortunate event of the death of the policyholder during the policy term, the death benefit will be the higher of:
- Basic fund value as on date of intimation of death
- Basic sum assured
In addition to this, the policyholder will also be paid the higher of:
- Top-up fund value as on date of intimation of death, if any
- Top-up sum assured
However, the minimum basic sum assured payable on death after partial withdrawals shall never be less than 10 times the basic premium. Death benefit shall never be less than 105% of total premiums paid to date (excluding service tax). In cases where the death of the policyholder takes place prior to the risk commencement date, only the basic premiums paid (excluding service tax, if any) shall be payable as the death benefit.
- Assured Option – In case of the unfortunate event of the death of the policyholder while the policy is in effect, the beneficiary will be immediately paid the basic sum assured plus top-up sum assured, if any. Death benefit shall never be less than 105% of total premiums paid to date (excluding service tax). The policy will not terminate once this death benefit is paid to the nominee and it continues till policy maturity date. On continuation of the policy:
- Risk cover ceases immediately
- Future installment premiums shall be paid by the insurance company
- Fund value will remain invested in the segregated funds and investment option existing at the time of death of the policyholder
- Guaranteed additions, when applicable, shall be added to the fund value as and when due
- All policy charges shall be deducted as and when due, except mortality charge
- Top-up premiums, partial withdrawals, surrenders, switch between investment options, segregated fund switch or any premium redirection by the nominee is not allowed
- Maturity benefit shall be paid to the nominee
The death benefit shall always be determined as of the date the intimation of death of the policyholder is received by the insurer.
Maturity Benefits
On survival till the end of the policy term and all due premiums being paid, the policyholder will receive the fund value at maturity. S/he can choose to receive the maturity benefits as lump sum or as periodic installments over a period of 5 years from the date of maturity through the settlement option.
