Details About Premium

Policy Details

Grace Period: The Grace Period is not applicable as it is a single premium policy.

Policy Termination or Surrender Benefit: The policy may be surrendered any time during the policy period. The Surrender Value is the Fund Value minus the Discontinuance Charge, if any. If the policy is surrendered before the completion of five policy years then the insurance cover ceases and the Surrender Value equal to Fund Value minus Discontinuation Charge will be kept in the Discontinued Fund of the policy. If surrender of the policy happens after completing five policy years, the insurance cover ceases, the Surrender Value is paid immediately and the policy is terminated. Termination occurs on payment of the Death Benefit or Maturity Benefit.

Free Look Period: Policyholders have a limited free look period of 15 days from the date of receiving policy documents to review the policy. This timeframe is extended to thirty days if the policy was sold via distance marketing. The customer will receive the fund value as on the date of cancellation plus non-allocated premium plus charges levied by cancellation of units minus a proportionate premium for the risk borne by the company, including as any extra expenses, such as towards a medical examination or stamp duty charges.
