FAQs
-
How does the Reducing Death Benefit Cover work in the Pramerica Life TruShield Policy?
The Death Sum Assured (DSA) at the beginning of the policy year is equal to the outstanding principal of a loan (which equals the Base Sum Assured) that is repaid with an applicable interest of 15% per annum above the policy term. The DSA reduces over the plan tenure. -
How does the Pramerica Life TruShield Policy determine the premium payable?
It is determined by where the selected Sum Assured falls in the defined Base Sum Assured Bands. -
Can the Pramerica Life TruShield Policy be surrendered?
The policyholder should continue the policy by regular renewals, but the policy may be surrendered in an extreme case. The policies with limited and regular premium paying options can be surrendered anytime within the policy term, provided two full premiums have been paid. For the Single Pay option, the policy can be surrendered immediately after the premium has been paid. -
How can the Pramerica Life TruShield Policy status showing “Lapsed” be revived?
A lapsed policy can be revived within 5 years from the default premium payment date. The policy is revived on payment of the outstanding premium with the accrued interest thereon to restore all the benefits. -
