Max Life Guaranteed Income is a non-linked traditional annuity plan that guarantees a regular stream of income after your retirement. The plan provides a Guaranteed Income for a period of 10 years after the Policy Term. The income payable monthly in the last 5 years of the payout period is twice the income payable monthly in the first 5 years of the payout period. This is followed by a one-time guaranteed Terminal Benefit payable at the end of the Payout Period. Additionally, it ensures that the lifestyle of your family is protected against any exigencies.
