How it works
Let us understand how this plan works with the help of an example.
Suppose Samik’s parents decide to take this plan for him.
Age of Samik = 5 years
Date of Policy Commencement = 25th July, 2017
Basic Sum Assured = Rs. 1,00,000
Policy Term = 25 - Age = 25 - 5 = 20 years
Premium Payment Term = 20 years
Annual Premium = Rs. 5,586 + Taxes
Since Samik’s age is less than 8, the risk commencement date will be one day before the policy completes 2 years.
Risk commencement date = 24th July, 2019
Death Benefit = All premiums paid are returned. You will get a minimum of 105% of premiums paid even if he dies after 1 year.
