Lic Calculator Maturity Benefits and How to Calculate Them

Documents and Other Details

The policyholder will be required to duly fill the policy discharge form after having read it thoroughly. Every small detail has to be accurately filled by the policyholder. Once he/she is done filling the policy discharge form, the policyholder will then be required to sign the same. The policy discharge form has to be signed by two separate witnesses as well according to rules specified by the insurance company.

Enclosing the following documents along with the policy discharge form is mandatory:

1. Policy document - the original copy
2. Proof of identity (copy)
3. Proof of address (copy)
4. Bank mandate form along with details of the bank
5. Cancelled cheque

In order to carry out a smooth maturity claim settlement process, the policyholder will be required to send the policy discharge form along with the documents to the insurance company 5-7 days before the date of maturity of the policy. This will help the insurance company put everything together and release the claim amount at the earliest.

What is the Procedure?

The following process is usually carried out for a seamless maturity claim settlement:

1. Upon receiving the policy discharge form along with the specified documents, the insurance company verifies the same.
2. Once the verification is complete and the insurance company is satisfied with the result, the maturity claim will thereafter be processed.
3. The bank of the policyholder is also intimated about the approaching transaction.
4. The maturity claim proceeds are credited directly to the policyholder's bank account once the date of maturity has passed.
5. The policyholder receives the amount immediately after the procedure ends.

What are Some of the Noteworthy Points to Take Into Consideration?

1. The above-mentioned process is applicable to those insurance policies that have encompassed maturity benefits such as survival benefits (maturity benefits) and bonuses.
2. If the policyholder passes away any time after the date of maturity but before the procedures have been completed, the maturity claim is still paid to the family of the policyholder by the insurance company.
