Guaranteed Additions will accrue as per the table below:
PPT GA Start Year % of Annualised Premium (Goal Sure Plan) % of Annualised Premium (Edu Sure Plan)
5 6 40% 30%
6 7 50% 40%
8 9 60% 50%
10 11 70% 60%
If the life insured is a minor aged 5 years or older when the policy is purchased, coverage will begin immediately. However, if the life insured is under 5 years old, coverage will not commence right away. In these instances, risk coverage will start either one day before the completion of two years from the policy's commencement date or on the first monthly policy anniversary after the child turns 5, whichever comes first.
If premiums aren’t paid for the first full policy years, the policy lapses, ending all coverage and benefits. If you’ve paid at least one full year but miss further payments, it becomes Reduced Paid-Up, losing eligibility for Guaranteed Additions. Upon death during the policy term, the death benefit will be the Paid-Up Sum Assured. Edu Sure plan will also provide a monthly income of 5% of the Annualised Premium. If the policyholder survives, the Paid-Up Sum Assured on Maturity will be payable. You can also surrender the policy for the higher of the Guaranteed or Special Surrender Value.
You have a grace period of 30 days for quarterly, semi-annual or annual payment modes, and 15 days for monthly payment mode to pay the overdue premium. This grace period begins from the due date of each premium payment.
Yes, you can revive your lapsed or reduced paid-up policy within 5 years from the due date of the first unpaid premium by providing proof of insurability and paying any outstanding premiums with applicable interest. Once revived, all benefits will be restored to their original levels.
If the life insured dies by suicide within 12 months of the policy's risk commencement or its revival date, the nominee will receive the higher of 80% of the total premiums paid till the date of death or the surrender value available as on the date of death, as long as the policy is still in force.
Yes, you can surrender your policy at any time during the policy term, provided it has acquired a Surrender Value,. The Surrender Benefit will be the higher of the GSV, i.e. the Guaranteed Surrender Value or the SSV, or the Special Surrender Value.
