Key Features of Aviva Next Innings Pension Plan

• The policy provides a guaranteed corpus for retirement that is 210% of the sum of all the premiums paid.
• The nominee, under the policy, receives a lump sum as the Death Benefit. This sum is provided to take care of his/her financial needs when the policyholder is no more.

Benefits under Aviva Next Innings Pension Plan

• On survival until the end of the policy term, when the policy matures, the policyholder receives the Maturity Benefit, which is 210% of the premiums paid. The Maturity Benefit is compulsorily used in one of the two ways, which are:

1. The policyholder can purchase Immediate Annuity, which is guaranteed for life for the Life Insured as long as he or she survives.
2. The policyholder can purchase a single premium deferred pension product.

• On the death of the policyholder, the nominee receives the guaranteed Death Benefit. The Death Benefit is the higher of the total of all premiums paid plus 6% annual compound interest or 105% of all premiums paid.

The nominee can use the Death Benefit to purchase an annuity from the Company or to withdraw the entire amount.

• Tax benefits are available as per sections 80 (C) and 10 (10D) of the Income Tax Act.

Policy Details of Aviva Next Innings Pension Plan

Grace Period: A limited time period of 30 days from the due date is allowed for the payment of the unpaid premium and to clear all the dues. The Grace Period for policies paid under monthly premium payment mode is 15 days. A policy lapses or expires in case the first 2 years’ premiums have not been paid within the Grace Period.

Policy Surrender or Termination Benefit: The policy that has a single premium payment option acquires Surrender Value after completing one full policy year. It, therefore, might be surrendered after completing the first policy year, on the condition that all premiums have been paid. A Limited premium policy acquires Surrender Value after two full policy years, and so it may be surrendered after paying all premiums for two full policy years. As the Surrender Value, either the Guaranteed Surrender Value or the Special Surrender Value, whichever is higher, is paid out. Termination of the policy also occurs on the payout of the Death benefit or the Maturity Benefit.

Free Look Period: The insured has a limited span of free look period (15 days) from the receipt date of policy documents in order to review the features and benefits of the policy. In case the policyholder does not want to continue with the insurance policy, he/she can cancel it. However, the customer would have to pay the policy expenses borne by the insurance company, such as medical examination expenses etc.
