PNB MetLife Loan Assure Plan

Met Loan Assure is a plan designed to ensure loan repayment does not take the life out of your loved ones in the event of your unfortunate demise, ensuring life can go on without an additional burden.

Financial emergencies can arise at any point in our life, leaving us in a quandary over how to meet such obligations. One option available to us is a loan, which offers a temporary solution to our financial predicament.

How The Plan Works

MetLife Loan Assure is a group policy which can be availed by financial institutions or employers who offer loans to their employees. Under this plan, individuals who avail loan from financial institutions would be covered for their outstanding loan payment. The employer/organisation can choose to insure individual members so that they are not at a financial liability if something happens to the borrower and he/she is unable to repay this amount on account of such an incident. Premiums can be collected and paid to the insurance provider or an individual can approach an institution and pay the premium individually, which will then be paid to the insurance provider.

A certificate of insurance will be provided to every individual member of a group who has enrolled in this scheme, entitling him/her to all the benefits offered under the package. PNB MetLife will work on the mathematics, preparing a scheduled outstanding loan amount by taking into account the initial loan amount, interest rate and tenure of a loan.

For example, Mr. Kumar, an employee of an organisation takes a loan of Rs 2.5 lakh from his company. His company chooses to insure him through Met Loan Assure so that their liability is reduced if something happens to him. Mr. Kumar assures to return the loan in 10 years, paying a certain instalment yearly. His company asks him to pay the premium towards this insurance plan which comes to Rs 15,000/-. Five years down the line Mr. Kumar passes away due to bad health, having paid just half the amount of his loan. In this case, the pending amount will be paid by Met Loan Assure, ensuring that his family is not burdened with the additional task of repaying his loan.

Premium Payments

Individuals are required to pay only one premium to avail the benefits offered by this PNB Metlife plan. This premium should be paid in full, without any instalments.

Riders

There are no additional riders available with this plan.

GST of 18% is applicable on life insurance effective from the 1st of July, 2017
