What are Pension Plans?

Pension plans are so called because they provide pension like benefits after retirement when there is no source of income. These plans are offered as two types – one where you have to pay premiums for certain tenure after which annuity payments will start and the other where you pay a single premium after which the annuity payments start. There is no benefit payable on death except in case of Deferred Annuity plans and if required only 1/3^rd of the amount which has been accumulated can be withdrawn from the plan as commuted benefit. This amount will also be free from the incidence of taxation. The remaining amount has to be used to take annuity or pension from the company.

Why are Pension Plans needed?

You need a pension plan because the plan will enable you to fund your retirement when the income flow stops but the expenses continue and even increase due to an increased requirement of medical attention. Pension plans are specialized plans which are created for the sole purpose of providing for retirement. These plans do not let the customer withdraw money from the accumulated corpus higher than the specified 1/3rd part. The remainder of the corpus, which constitutes the bulk of the corpus, has to be taken in the form of pension payments which is mandatory. Thus, this protects the corpus from being put to any other usage except for drawing pension. Under most of the pension plans, the Purchase Price which is the one time premium you are required to pay in case of Immediate Annuity plans, is returned when the policyholder dies. This feature enables the policyholder to earn the dual benefit of pension payments and even a lump sum payment to the nominee which can be put to any use as deemed necessary.

After you retire, your income stops. Though salaried people feel the greatest pinch, even self-employed individuals have to retire at some point of their lives and their children or any partner taking over the business, makes them dependent as well. In these cases, a corpus is required which will provide a regular income without fail. Such an income would take care of the expenses which old age brings and make you financially independent. Pension plans also have the feature of a joint life annuity especially in case of immediate annuity plans. This can ensure that both the individual and his spouse can earn annuity payments. This would take care of the expenses of the couple even in the absence of any one of them. By saving smaller amounts every year of your working life, you can easily build a pension corpus for your golden period of retirement. 

What documents will be required for buying a pension plan?

A pension plan like all other forms of insurance requires certain documentation at the time of purchase. The documents required can be pointed out below:

• The application form which should be filled with the correct information and signed

• Passport-sized recent colored photographs of the applicant

• The applicant’s identity proof which can be any one of the documents like the valid passport, a valid driving license, Aadhar Card, Voter’s ID card, PAN card, etc.

• The applicant’s address proof which can be either the passport or the driving license or the Aadhar Card or utility bills, etc.

• Date of birth proof

• The cheque for the premium.
