Parent Secure
The Parent Secure Option lets your parents or grandparents receive the claim amount as regular income instead of a one-time payout. When selected at policy start, the death benefit is paid as fixed monthly or yearly instalments to up to two nominees.
Both nominees, if chosen, get equal payouts that continue as long as at least one is alive. The payment frequency is decided at the beginning and cannot be changed later. This option is available only for parents or grandparents aged 50 years and above and must be chosen at policy inception.
There is no extra premium for this benefit. It is a simple way to ensure your parents have steady financial support rather than managing a large lump sum at once.
Parent Protect Care
The Parent Protect Care option combines a one-time payout with regular income for your parents or grandparents. When selected at policy start, a part of the death benefit is paid immediately as a lump sum, and the remaining amount is given as fixed monthly or yearly payouts.
You choose the split between lump sum and regular income at inception, with at least 20% of the benefit paid as instalments. The regular payouts continue as long as at least one nominee is alive. If two nominees are selected, the surviving nominee continues to receive the income.
The payment frequency is chosen at the beginning and cannot be changed later. The payout amount depends on the nominee’s age, the death benefit, and the number of nominees selected.
This option is available only for parents or grandparents aged 50 years and above and must be chosen at policy inception. It is a practical way to give your parents immediate financial help along with steady support over time.
Education Income Benefit
The Education Income Benefit option ensures your child continues to receive financial support for education if something happens to you. When this option is chosen, a regular annual payout is made to one beneficiary child after the death of the Life Assured.
The total payout is 10% of the Sum Assured, capped at ₹10 lakh, and is paid in equal yearly instalments. These payments start from the policy anniversary after the claim and continue until the policy term ends or the child turns 25, whichever comes first.
If the child turns 18 during the payout period, they can also choose to get the rest of the money as a single payment. You can only get this benefit for one child, and you have to pay an extra premium for it. Once you choose it, you can't remove it later, so it's a reliable way to protect your child's educational goals.
Immediate Payout on Claim Intimation
In case of the death of the policyholder, after the completion of the first policy year, the payout as per the following will be made to the nominee:
Premium Break Benefit
The Premium Break Benefit gives you breathing room during temporary financial stress without losing your life cover. If your policy has completed at least five years and all premiums are paid, you can request a break from paying premiums for up to 12 months.
During this break period, your policy stays active and your risk cover continues as usual. Any premiums due during this time are simply deferred, not waived. If a claim arises, the insurer pays the benefit after adjusting the deferred amount.
To use this option, you need to apply in advance before your next premium due date. You can use the Premium Break Benefit more than once, but there must be a gap between two break periods as per policy rules. Once the break ends, the deferred premiums must be paid to keep the policy running smoothly.
It is an in-built benefit with no extra cost, designed to help you stay protected even when cash flows are temporarily tight.
Premium Break Benefit on Pregnancy or Death of Spouse
Certain life moments need emotional and financial space. The Premium Break Benefit for Pregnancy or Death of Spouse allows women policyholders to pause premium payments during sensitive phases, without losing their life cover.
If your policy has completed 2 years and all premiums are paid, you can request a premium break for up to 12 months during pregnancy or after the unfortunate loss of a spouse. During this period, your policy continues as usual. The premiums are only deferred, not cancelled, and can be paid later.
This makes sure your protection stays active when managing finances becomes difficult.
How this Benefit Helps you:
-
Pause premium payments for up to 12 months during pregnancy or after a spouse’s death.
-
Your life cover remains active throughout the break period.
-
Deferred premiums are adjusted later, even if a claim happens during the break.
-
No extra cost is charged to use this benefit.
-
You can use this option more than once, with a minimum gap of 2 policy years between breaks.
When you can use it:
-
During pregnancy or within 6 months after delivery.
-
Within 6 months from the date of spouse’s death.
-
Only available for female lives.
-
You must apply before your next premium due date.
Once the break period ends, the remaining amount needs to be paid along with future premiums to continue the policy smoothly.
Non-Payment of Premiums
A Grace Period is the additional time allowed after the premium due date during which your policy remains active and the risk cover continues.
Under this plan, the grace period is:
-
30 days for yearly, half-yearly, and quarterly premium payment modes from the due date.
-
15 days for monthly premium payment mode from the due date.
If a valid claim arises during the grace period before the premium is paid, the claim will still be honoured. In such cases, the unpaid premium for the policy year will be deducted from the benefit payable under the policy.
Paid-Up Value
A policy will acquire a paid-up value only under the following conditions:
-
The Return of Premium option is selected with Limited Pay or Regular Pay, and
-
Premiums have been paid for at least one full year and after completion of the first policy year.
In all other situations, if premiums are discontinued, the policy will lapse without acquiring any paid-up value.
Once a policy has acquired paid-up value and the policyholder stops paying premiums, the benefits are calculated as follows:
Smart Exit Benefit
The Smart Exit Benefit allows the policyholder to exit the policy and receive an amount equal to the Total Premiums Paid. No extra premium is required to use this option.
You can exercise this benefit by cancelling the policy if:
-
The policy year is greater than 25, and it is not within the last 5 policy years.
-
The policy is active at the time of exit.
-
The Life Goal or Return of Premium option has not been selected.
If the premium payment term was changed, Total Premiums Paid will include only premiums paid after conversion to Limited Pay.
Revival
If you miss a premium and your policy lapses, you can usually get it back by paying all the overdue premiums, plus any fees and interest that apply, as long as the insurance company agrees. Requests for revival must be made within five years of the first missed premium and before the policy ends. The insurance company may ask for new documents or health information to make sure you still qualify. All policy benefits are fully restored once they are revived.
