Working of Shriram Shri Sahay (SP)

Shriram Shri Sahay (SP) is a single premium plan which offers cover to members from the neglected sections of our society. It is a simple plan which has been designed to offer ease of use to members. Its working can be understood through the example of Mr. Ram and his village. Ram is the Sarpanch of a small village which manufactures beedi. A total of 30 members work in a unit, with Ram deciding to purchase this policy to provide protection to them.

He chooses a policy with a 5 year term, with the sum assured being Rs 25,000. Each member contributes a specific amount to pay the premium. Being a single premium plan, this amount is paid at the time of purchase, with the policy continuing to be in force after this payment. The following scenarios can help us understand how Shri Sahay (SP) works under different circumstances.

Scenario 1: Two members of the group, Harsh and Ramu pass away three years into the policy. In this case, both their nominees will receive Rs 25,000 each. This amount is equal to the sum assured opted under the plan. The other members stay protected for the entire term of the plan, until it reaches maturity.

Scenario 2: No one from the group passes away during the policy term. In this case, the policy will expire after 5 years, with no maturity benefit payable. Members can choose to purchase a new policy to enjoy extended protection.

Premium Payment

This is a single premium payment plan, wherein members need to pay the premium only once, at the time of purchasing the policy.

Riders

Members can choose to enhance the protection offered under this Shriram Life Insurance plan by paying for a rider. The Accident Benefit Rider offers cover against death and total/permanent disability due to an accident. In the event of a member passing away due to an accident, his/her nominee will receive an additional sum assured.

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