Policy Details of Kotak Preferred Term Plan

• Grace Period: A period of 30 days is provided from the due date of the unpaid premium to pay all dues. This span is reduced to fifteen days in case of monthly mode.
• Policy Termination or Surrender Benefit: No Surrender Value is available for policies that are under Regular Premium payment mode. Under Limited payment mode, the policyholder can surrender the policy after paying all the premiums of 2/3 years. The Surrender Value is available immediately after the receipt of the Single Premium.
• The policy gets terminated if it is not reinstated within the revival period. Moreover, the policy also gets terminated after the Death Benefit is paid out.
• Free Look Period: This policy provides the new policyholder with a period of 15 days to go through the terms and conditions set by the insurer. However, this free look period gets extended to thirty days if the user has purchased it through distance marketing. This is the deciding period for the users in which they can decide whether they wish to continue with the policy or not.

Inclusions

For Limited premium payment modes and a PPT of less than ten years, if the premiums for the first two policy years are not paid within the Grace Period,  nothing can prevent the policy from getting lapsed.

For a PPT of more than ten years, if premiums for the first three policy years are not paid before the Grace Period ends, the policy will lapse. For a Regular premium payment policy, the policy will lapse in case  the due premiums are not paid by the end of the Grace Period.

Additional Features or Riders

To revive a lapsed policy, you need to submit a request to reinstate it within a timeframe of two years that starts from the first unpaid premium. If the policyholder is unable to pay the premiums in the provided Grace Period, then the policy acquires a Reduced Paid-up value. Regular payment policies do not acquire a Paid-up Value, as they do not have a Surrender Value.

Exclusions

The term insurance cover equals to zero if the policyholder commits suicide within the first year of buying or reinstating the policy. The user gets 80% of the premiums paid until the death of the policyholder. The nominee gets to receive the Death Benefit if the policyholder commits suicide within six months of reviving the policy.

If the Life Insured commits suicide just in before reviving the policy, the nominee gets a higher of 80% of the Surrender Value or premium paid.
