Plan Options
The Product offers Three Plan options - Level Cover Benefit, Increasing Cover Benefit and Level Cover with Future
Proofing Benefit. The plan option once chosen at inception cannot be changed during the policy term.
Premium will vary depending upon the Plan Option chosen.
• Level Cover Benefit:
ü Under this Plan option, the Absolute amount assured on death would remain level throughout the policy term.
(#please refer section 'Benefits in Detail' for description of Death Benefit and in-built features under the product)
• Increasing Cover Benefit
With time, your responsibilities grow, the inflation goes up, and so your insurance cover should be able to keep up with
these increases. The increasing cover benefit puts your insurance cover on an “increase” mode automatically, so that
your security is enhanced with time without you having to manage the same.
ü Under this Plan option, the Absolute amount assured on death would increase by 10% of the Basic Sum Assured at
the end of every 5th policy year, subject to a maximum increase of up to 100% of Basic Sum Assured.
ü This increase will not be applicable once the Life assured attains the age of 71 years.
ü The premium shall depend on the basic sum assured chosen at inception of the policy & the premium remains
constant throughout the policy term.
For example: If a policy is issued for a Life Assured aged 35 years and Basic Sum assured of `1,00,00,000 for a term of
30 years, and if the death occurs in 14th policy year, the sum assured payable on death would be `1,20,00,000
(`1,00,00,000 + 2 increases of 10,00,000 each), provided the policy is in-force.
(#please refer section 'Benefits in Detail' for description of Death Benefit and in-built features under the product)
• Level Cover with Future Proofing Benefit
With changes in your personal and financial needs, it is not always possible to buy a new additional insurance coverage
each time. Thus, to ensure that your protection cover matches with the changes in your responsibilities at important life
stages, this option has been designed. The Level Cover with Future Proofing Benefit empowers you with the choice of
managing your protection based on defined life-stages.
ü Under this plan option, the life assured has a choice to increase Absolute Amount assured on Death on attaining
certain Life Stages during the policy term, without further medical underwriting, applicable from next policy
anniversary following the acceptance of the request for the increase.
