- There is a discount, on the premiums, of Rs. 2 for every Rs. 1,000 of the sum assured if the sum assured is in excess of Rs. 5 lakhs.

How the Plan Works?

The payment intervals will depend on the tenure of the policy but it generally ends up paying 110% to 130% of the premiums paid by the investor, over the duration of the policy. It also has two aspects to the benefits; one is the guaranteed benefits and the other is the non-guaranteed benefits. This can be best understood through an example.
Mr. Raj is 25 years old and wants to invest in this plan and is looking for a sum assured of Rs. 10 lakhs. He prefers to pay the premium annually via cheques and has chosen the policy term of 16 years which means that his premium paying term will be 8 years. he is also not a smoker, nor does he consume any other form of tobacco. Based on these details, his annual premium comes up to Rs. 1,44,450. The detailed breakup of his policy will look like so:
