    Your monthly pension will amount to Rs (10,00,000 x 7.40%)/12 = Rs.6,167 payable across 10 years.

    • You will be entitled to a monthly pension of Rs.6,167 for the first 5 policy years.

    • Your family will get the Rs.10 lakhs that you had invested in the scheme.

  3. If you survive 10 policy years
