ICICI Pru iProtect Smart now offers a 100% Refund of Premium at No Cost 

What is a 100% Refund of Premium at No Cost Term Plan?

100% refund of premium at no-cost term plan is a variant of term insurance plans that allow customers to exit the plan at any time within the period provided by the insurer. This was launched keeping the increasing life expectancy in mind. Since life insurance for senior citizens above 65 years of age is tough to buy, therefore it is suggested that customers should buy term plans at an early age for a long duration and exit the plan as per their suitability. With this plan, by the time of your retirement, in case you have accumulated enough wealth and don’t need the extra security of term insurance, you can exit the plan early at a pre-fixed interval and receive all the premiums paid.

Smart Exit Benefit Option

ICICI Life Insurance company launched its Smart Exit Benefit Option within its iProtect Smart Plan which allows customers to exit the plan at a specific stage and get a return of all the total premiums paid. This feature is free of cost and available on term insurance policies with a sum assured over Rs. 60 Lacs. The feature can be availed any time after the end of the 25th policy year, provided that the policyholder is over the age of 60 and the policy is not about to end in the next five years. To get the benefits of this option, all the premiums should have been duly paid and no other benefits (like death or rider benefits) should have been claimed.
