Policy Details

• Grace Period: The policy gives policyholders thirty days to pay all due premiums The policy will acquire a “Discontinued” status if payment is not made within the applicable timeframe.

• Policy Termination or Surrender Benefit: If the policy is surrendered before completing five years, the insurance cover ceases, and the Fund Value moves to the Discontinued Policy Fund, payable only after the fifth policy anniversary. In case of the Life Assured’s death during this period, only the accumulated fund value is payable to the nominee. Long-term stability defines the best SIP investment, and after completing five policy years, surrendering the policy incurs no charges, with the Fund Value paid immediately to the policyholder. If the policy is not reinstated within the revival period, the policy is terminated. Termination of the policy also occurs on payment of the Death Benefit. The policy will also automatically terminate if at any time the Fund Value falls below or become equal to one year’s regular premium because of poor market performance. In that case, the Fund Value is paid to the policyholder.

• Free Look Period: Policyholders have a limited free look period of 15 days from the date of receiving policy documents to review the policy. If the policyholder does not wish to continue with the policy, then he or she can cancel the policy. The customer will receive the Fund Value plus the unallocated premium minus a proportionate premium for the risk borne by the company, including any extra expenses, such as towards a medical examination or stamp duty charges.
