Benefits
A. Death Benefit:
If death occurs during the policy term before the date of risk commencement, the premiums paid are returned (excluding taxes and rider premiums).
If death occurs after the risk commencement date, the “Sum Assured on Death” (higher of 125% of Basic Sum Assured or 7 times the annualized premium) along with Accrued Guaranteed Additions is paid. This benefit is at least 105% of total premiums paid (excluding extras and rider premiums) until the date of death.
B. Maturity Benefit:
If the policyholder survives until the stipulated Date of Maturity while the policy is in force, the “Sum Assured on Maturity” (equal to Basic Sum Assured) along with Guaranteed Additions is paid.
C. Guaranteed Additions:
Guaranteed Additions are added to the policy annually at the rate of Rs. 50 per thousand of Basic Sum Assured, provided premiums are paid. If the policy is paid-up or surrendered, Guaranteed Additions are added proportionately based on premiums received.
Additionally, in case of death, the Guaranteed Addition for the full policy year is added, and if premiums are not paid, Guaranteed Additions cease to accrue.
