    What is a Term Assurance Plan?

    Under this plan, a sum assured is payable in case of death of the life assured during the term of the contract. One can choose the lump sum that would replace the income loss to one’s family in the unfortunate event of one’s death. Since this is a pure risk cover plan, no benefits are payable on survival at the end of the term of the policy.

    What optional benefits are available with this plan?

    You can add the following Optional benefits to customize your policy to suit your needs:
    • Accidental Death Benefit (ADB) provides an additional amount equal to the basic sum assured in case you die:
      • Due to an accident, and
      • Within 90 days of the accident.
    • Critical Illness (CI) Benefit provides an additional amount equal to the basic sum assured on diagnosis of any one of the 6 common critical illnesses. The sum assured is payable if you survive for 30 days after the date of the claim.

      This benefit provides for payment of an amount, on the diagnosis of any one of the following common critical illnesses:
      • Cancer
      • Coronary artery bypass
      • Heart attack
      • Kidney/Renal failure
      • Major Organ Transplant (as recipient)
      • Stroke
      Once such a claim has been met, no further Critical Illness Benefit is payable. However, your basic policy continues even after we pay a claim on this benefit.
    • Accelerated Sum Assured (ASA) Benefit provides, on diagnosis of any one of the 6 common critical illnesses, an amount equal to the amount payable on death. As soon as we accept your claim:
      • We pay out the sum assured, and
      • Your basic policy immediately terminates without value.

    This benefit accelerates or advances the date on which the benefit would be payable. It becomes payable n death or critical illness, which ever occurs earlier. Once a claim has been met, either on death or critical illness, no further benefit is payable on your policy.

    Note: CI and ASA are not simultaneously available on a single policy. All optional benefits must be selected at the outset of your plan.
