For policyholders who successfully complete the payment term of the policy, there exist two alternatives to receive survival benefits:
This choice ensures that the policyholder receives 10 percent of the basic sum assured annually. The initiation of payments is contingent upon the selected premium payment term, offering a deferment window spanning from three to six years. For instance, with a premium payment term of five years, the survival benefit will commence from the 11th policy year, while for a term of 16 years, it begins from the 19th policy year.
Similar to the regular income option, this flexible alternative also guarantees 10 percent of the basic sum assured annually. The deferment period aligns with the regular income option, but policyholders have the flexibility to further postpone it. If left unclaimed, the accrued amount earns an annual interest of 5.5 percent compounded yearly until withdrawal, policy surrender, or in the event of death. Policyholders can withdraw up to 75 percent of the accumulated balance annually, including interest, while the remaining amount continues to accumulate interest.
The policy offers a tax benefit wherein the premium deposited, up to Rs 1.5 lakh per financial year, qualifies for exemption under section 80C of the Income Tax Act. Additionally, the maturity amount, which is ten times the annual premium, is also exempt from taxes under section 10(10D).
