However, if the policy survives the whole stipulated Date of Maturity, both the sum assured on maturity and guaranteed additions will be payable to the policyholder. Moreover, the plan also provides an option to receive death/maturity benefits in installments subject to certain conditions.
The minimum basic sum assured, as of now, has been kept at Rs 1,00,000 with no upper limit. The policy time period can be anywhere between 15 to 20 years with a premium paying term calculated as Policy term minus 5 years. The minimum age for anyone to enter the policy is 90 and the maximum age has been capped at 60 yrs.
