__POLICY_FORM__
Let us look at one option at a time.
Guaranteed Maturity Option in HDFC Life Sanchay Plus Plan
You can opt for this option in the following 3 ways:
Policy Term (PT) of 10 years, where you pay premiums (PPT) for 5 years
Policy Term (PT) of 12 years, where you pay premiums (PPT) for 6 years
Policy Term (PT) of 20 years, where you pay premiums (PPT) for 10 years
Based on the above, the maturity benefit payable will be as follows:
| Policy Term | Term (PPT) | Payout Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| 10 years | 5 years | Lumpsum benefit at the end of 10 years |
| 12 years | 6 years | Lumpsum benefit at the end of 12 years |
| 20 years | 10 years | Lumpsum benefit at the end of 20 years |
So if you have selected Policy Term of 20 years and Premium Payment Term (PPT) of 10 years, you will have to pay premiums for 10 years and then get a lumpsum amount at the end of 20 years. Now let us understand the quantum of benefits that you will get.
Maturity Benefits = “Guaranteed Sum Assured on Maturity” + “Guaranteed Additions” which have accrued.
“Guaranteed Sum Assured on Maturity” = Total Annualised Premium payable throughout the premium payment term.
“Guaranteed Additions” will be as follows:
For PPT of 5 years – accrues every year from the end of 6th year
For PPT of 6 years – accrues every year from the end of 7th year
For PPT of 10 years – accrues every year from the end of 8th year
Click to know the workings of Guaranteed Additions Rates for Sanchay Plus Plan.
Example:
Let us understand this option better with the help of an example. Suppose Rakesh who is healthy and age 30 chooses this option and invests Rs. 1 lakh every year.
Annual Premium – Rs. 1 lakh + taxes
Policy Term (PT) – 20 years
Premium Payment Term (PPT) – 10 years
His life cover of Sum Assured (SA) will be Rs. 12.5 lakhs.
Maturity Benefit = Sum of Annualised Premium + Guaranteed Additions
Now, Sum of Annualised Premium = 1 lakh x 10 years = 10 lakhs
Guaranteed Additions (GA) = Rate of GA x SA / 1000 from 8th year to 20th year. This would be as follows:
End of Year
GA Rate per 1,000 SA
GA Amount

So the Maturity Benefit = Rs. 10,00,000 + Rs. 12,06,300 = Rs. 22,06,300
This is a Guaranteed Amount which will be paid to the customer.
