About SBI Life Smart Humsafar

The SBI Life Smart Humsafar plan is a joint-life, non-linked, participating endowment plan. The plan is designed for married couples. The plan offers multiple benefits of savings and insurance cover for both husband and wife, making it a perfect gift for you and your loved ones.

The plan offers:

• Security – By protecting your spouse and you in case of eventualities
• Reliability – Through the premium waiver benefit
• Flexibility – To include additional rider benefits
• Simplicity – Of covering two individuals under one policy

Let’s understand this plan in brief before getting into its details:

How Does the Plan Work?

The individual has to choose the policy term from 10 to 30 years. The premium-payment term will be the same as the policy term. The individual then has to choose the basic sum assured. Based on the parameters selected by the individual and his/her age at entry, the premium payable is calculated.

The base plan is a traditional endowment plan with simple reversionary bonuses that accrue till the end of the policy term. The basic sum assured with all accrued bonuses will be paid on survival of any or both lives till maturity. On first death (of either the husband or the wife) during the policy term, sum assured on death will be paid and the future premiums are waived off. On second death (of either the husband or the wife) during the policy term, sum assured on death plus all accrued bonuses will be paid.

Now, let us understand the further actions of this plan with the help of various benefits offered.

Maturity Benefits

If either of the two or both policyholders survive till maturity, then the maturity benefits are basic sum assured + vested simple reversionary bonuses + terminal bonus, if any.

Death Benefits

In case of the unfortunate death of the policyholder during the policy term, the death benefit will be paid. The death benefit is the lump sum amount that is paid on the death of the policyholder. The policy shall be terminated once the death benefit is paid.

First Death: If the policy is in force as on the date of first death, the higher of A or B is paid to the surviving life assured

• Option A: Sum assured on death. Here, the sum assured on death is the higher of basic sum assured or guaranteed sum assured at maturity or a multiple Annualized Premium (AP), where the multiple is:

• Option B: 105% of all the premiums paid under the base policy

Second Death: If the policy is in force as on the date of the second death, the higher of A or B is paid to the surviving life assured

• Option A: Sum assured on death + vested simple reversionary bonuses + terminal bonus, if any. Here, the sum assured on death is higher of basic sum assured or guaranteed sum assured at maturity or a multiple of AP, where the multiple is:

• Option B: 105% of all premiums paid under the base policy. This would include premiums already waived under the policy, if any

Riders 

The SBI Life Smart Humsafar plan offers the SBI Life Accidental Death Benefit rider. The rider cover is available only if the policy is in force and till the policy anniversary following first death. However, if both the policyholders have chosen the rider and both die simultaneously as a result of an accident OR die on different dates as the result of the same accident OR die during the same policy year as result of different accidents, then the rider benefits will be paid in respect of both the policyholders, provided the accident/s occurs in the policy term and the death due to the accident/s happens within 120 days from the accident irrespective of expiry of policy term.
