How does SBI Life Saral Pension work?

Under this plan, an individual can choose to pay premiums for a period (deferment period) anywhere between 10 to 40 years. During the deferment period he gets a life cover.  After the deferment period is over the individual gets a lumpsum (Basic sum assured+ guaranteed additions+ accrued bonus), but he has to re-invest it in one of the following;

1. To purchase another single premium deferred pension plan
2. Collect 1/3 of the lumpsum  and the remaining to reinvest in any immediate annuity/pension plan
3. Purchase another immediate life annuity from the entire policy proceeds
4. Extend the deferment period if he is below 55 years

If in-case the insured dies during deferred term, then the nominee receives total premiums paid accumulated at 0.25% compounded annually + plus accrued bonus or 105% of the total premiums paid. The nominee can collect the proceeds in one of the following two ways:

1. Utilize the entire proceeds or partial amount to purchase another SBI immediate annuity plan
2. To collect it as a lumpsum
