Survival Benets
Maturity Benefits
Guaranteed Additions
Guaranteed Additions are paid while the policy is active with timely premium payments, starting from the 6th year. The rate increases with the policy’s duration, as follows:
- 6th to 20th year: ₹50 per ₹1000 of Basic Sum Assured.
- 21st to 30th year: ₹55 per ₹1000 of Basic Sum Assured.
- 31st to 40th year: ₹60 per ₹1000 of Basic Sum Assured. In case of the policyholder’s death under an active policy, the Guaranteed Addition for the entire policy year of death is granted. If premiums aren’t paid for a limited premium policy, Guaranteed Additions stop accruing. For paid-up or surrendered policies, the addition is proportional to the last premium paid.

Exclusion:
Certainly, here’s a concise version:
a) Single Premium Payment Policy: In the event of the Life Assured’s suicide within 12 months from the risk commencement date, the nominee or beneficiary is entitled to receive 80% of the Single Premium paid, excluding taxes, extra premium, and rider premiums, except for the Term Assurance Rider. This does not apply if the Life Assured is below 8 years of age at entry.
b) Limited Premium Payment Policy: i. If the Life Assured commits suicide within 12 months from the risk commencement date, the nominee or beneficiary can claim 80% of the total premiums paid, excluding taxes, extra premium, and rider premiums, except for the Term Assurance Rider, provided the policy is in-force. This exception does not apply if the Life Assured is below 8 years of age at entry. ii. In the case of suicide within 12 months from the date of revival, the higher amount of either 80% of the total premiums paid (excluding taxes, extra premium, and rider premiums, except for the term assurance rider) or the surrender value as of the date of death shall be payable. No other claims are applicable in such situations. This exception does not apply if the Life Assured’s age is below 8 years at the time of revival, or for a policy that has lapsed without acquiring paid-up value.
