Benefits of HDFC Life Smart Woman Plan

Here are the key benefits of HDFC Life Smart Woman Plan:

  1. Maturity Benefit:

    • Upon policy maturity, you'll receive the Fund Value. This is calculated by multiplying the number of units you've accumulated in your chosen investment fund by the unit price on the maturity date. Essentially, you get back the money you've invested along with any potential growth from the market, and the best SIP to invest aligns with both time horizon and financial planning.

  2. Premium Waiver Benefit:

    • This plan offers a valuable safety net if you face certain unforeseen events. In the case of:

      • Pregnancy complications

      • Birth of a child with a congenital disorder

      • Diagnosis of malignant cancer of female organs

    • HDFC Life will waive and fund 100% of your next 3 years' premiums. This ensures your policy stays active even if you're unable to pay the premiums due to these situations.

  3. Death Benefits:

    • In the unfortunate event of your passing, your nominee will receive the higher of the following:

      • Sum Assured (minus any withdrawals made in the past 2 years)

      • Total Fund Value (market value of your accumulated units)

      • 105% of Premiums Paid

    • This ensures your loved ones receive a financial safety net, regardless of the market performance.
