The minimum and maximum entry ages for the 16, 18 and 20 year terms are 39 and 64 years, 37 and 62 years, and 35 and 60 years, respectively. The minimum and maximum maturity ages are 55 years and 80 years since last birthday.

The premiums can be paid in monthly, quarterly, half-yearly, or annual basis and even on a single-term basis for a single premium payment policy. The minimum annualised premium is Rs 50,000 for the regular plan, and Rs 1.5 lakh for the single premium plan, the insurer said.

The death benefit has been kept at 105 per cent for the first year for all plans. For the 16 and 18 year terms, they have been kept at 230 per cent if death occurs in the 16th and 18th year, respectively. For the 20-year policies, the death benefit has been kept at 270 per cent and 350 per cent for the regular plan and the single-premium plan, respectively, if death occurs in the 20th year of the policy term.

Additionally, the policy also offers maturity benefits and options on vesting, along with guaranteed surrender value.

“In case the life insured survives till vesting date, the maturity sum assured shall be payable, provided the policy is in-force and all due premiums have been paid till maturity date,” the insurer said in a product brochure.

“A single premium policy can be surrendered anytime during the policy term. A limited premium policy can be surrendered anytime provided at least two years’ premiums have been paid. Surrender value payable will be greater of the guaranteed surrender value and special surrender value,” the insurer further said in the product brochure.

There are also tax benefits under Section 80C and Section 10 (10A) (iii) of the Income-tax Act, 1961.
