Maturity Benefit
Since the plan comes in two variants, the maturity benefit payable will depend on the chosen option.
Regular Pay-out Option: Under this option, on maturity, the policyholder receives the last instalment of the Guaranteed Pay-out plus a Guaranteed Maturity Pay-out (GMP). This payment is calculated as follows:
GMP Factor XAnnual Premium
Where GMP Factor depends on age, gender, and premium payment term
Endowment Option: Under this option, the policyholder receivesthe minimum guaranteed sum assured, which is equal to the GMP.This option pays the policyholder a lump sum amount at the end of the policy year, which is a year before maturity. This pay-out is again expressed as a percentage of the annual premium and is derived based on age, gender, and premium payment term.

One must note that the minimum guaranteed sum assured on maturity will be equal to the Guaranteed Maturity Pay-out (GMP) in the case of the Endowment Option. It will be equal toGMP and Guaranteed Pay-out in the case of the Regular Pay-out Option.
Survival Benefit
Survival benefits are paid depending on the option chosen by the policyholder.
Regular Pay-out Option: Under the Regular Pay-out Option, the policyholder is paid guaranteed pay-outs annually from the end of the 9th, 12th, and 14th year for 7, 10, and 12 premium payment terms respectively as a percentage of the annual premium. These percentages depend on the chosen policy term and premium payment term (PPT) and they are as follows:
For 7-year PPT = 130% of the annual premium
For 10-year PPT = 150% of the annual premium
For 12-year PPT = 175% of the annual premium
