How Does SBI Life Sampoorn Suraksha Work?

This group insurance can be purchased by a minimum group of 10 people. A master policyholder is the one who makes the premium payments on behalf of the team, and they can choose to pay them annually, semi-annually, quarterly, or monthly. Suppose the master policyholder unfortunately dies, and the plan is still ongoing. In that case, the Sampoorn Suraksha pays a death benefit to the chosen nominees in agreed installments.

Benefits of SBI Sampoorn Suraksha Plan:

The plan provides several comprehensive covers that are discussed below:

• Terminal Illness Benefit: This is an accelerator benefit that comes with the main death cover in the SBI Sampoorn Suraksha plan. Once this benefit has been availed, one loses his/her member cover under the core policy. The sum assured for the Terminal Illness Benefit ranges from 5%-100% of the death benefit provided by the policy. A limit cap has been set for the claimable amount, which is Rs. 25 lakhs for the voluntary schemes, while Rs. 50 lakhs is provided for compulsory schemes. 
• Spouse Cover Benefit: The Spouse Cover Benefit is limited to groups of more than 250 members. Hence, it is mainly suited to organizations or companies. The members' spouses in the group are covered by the death benefit cover. However, a cap is set on the amount that can be claimed at Rs.15 lakhs for the mandatory members in the employer-employee groups. For the voluntary employer-employee, groups a set limit of Rs.10 lakhs has been placed. 
• Death Benefit: This is the benefit that gives the policy members' beneficiaries or nominees a secure future. In case of any eventuality, your dependents are given a sum assured. They can choose if they want it in a lump sum or shared installments monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, or annually up to 5 years. 
• Convertibility: This permits a member in the employer-employee group to convert their SBI Sampoorn Suraksha plan into an individual policy offered by SBI Life. It gives you the flexibility to customize your insurance policy to one that best suits your needs rather than conforming to group needs. No one can be 100% sure about how long they will stay in a company they currently work for. It might be for a short period of 6 months or 10 years. The Sampoorn Suraksha gives you the option of converting your member's plan into an individual insurance plan offered by SBI life at no additional cost. However, one needs to meet the set requirements, e.g., the age of the policy one wants to get into. Also, one needs to have left the company he/she previously held the policy with when he/she was healthy, with no record of fraudulent activities or misconduct. 
• Death Benefit: In case of the death of the master policyholder, selected nominees are eligible to receive death benefit payments in installments for a maximum period of 5 years or in a lump sum. It gives them guaranteed security. 
• Portability: The SBI Sampoorn Suraksha offers you comprehensive insurance cover regardless of where you are in the globe. 
• Tax Benefit: Section 80C of the Income Tax Act states that the insurance premium payments are tax exempt. They are eligible for a tax deduction or tax claim for any premium paid. Section 10 (10D) gives you a tax exemption when the sum assured, or death benefits are received. Section 37 gives employers an advantage of listing any premiums they pay for their employees under business expenses and exempting them from tax.
