Participation in Profits
The policy must contribute in the profits of the Corporation and must have the right to get the Simple Reversionary Bonus declared according to the Corporation’s experience, provided the purchased policy must be in full force.
In the case of the demise of the policyholder, the policy must continue to take part in the profits up to the maturity date and the entire fixed Final Additional Bonus and Simple Reversionary Bonus, if any, must be payable on the maturity due date. Therefore, the Final Additional Bonus and the Simple Reversionary Bonuses, if any, must be paid under the policy on the maturity due date regardless of the survival of the Assured Life.
If you do not pay the premiums (except in the case of demise of the Assured Life under the enforced policy), the policy must cease to take part in the future profits regardless of whether the policy has seized the paid-up value. Nevertheless, the plan must be taken into consideration as in force on the demise during the grace period.
Final Additional Bonuses must not be payable under the scaled down paid-up policy.
Sum Assured on Death is defined as the sum of:
The fixed Final Additional Bonus and the Simple Reversionary Bonuses, if any, contained in the Death Benefit must be payable on the maturity due date.

The aforementioned premiums do not include taxes, rider premium(s) and extra premium, if any.

One of the most important benefits offered by this rider is, in the case of death in an accident, an extra sum assured, equivalent to the sum assured in the accidental benefit is payable. This benefit is provided to the co-rider at the time of accident. Secondly in case of disability due to accident and equivalent amount of the accidental benefit sum assured is paid to the insured in equal monthly instalments up to 10 years.
New Term Assurance Rider- The New Term Assurance rider is made available on making the payment of an additional premium at the inception of the policy.
