Plan options
1. Investment Options: You can either choose one of the Systematic Transfer Plans (STP)
or go for Self-Managed Strategy.
i. Systematic Transfer Plans (STP):
a) Life stage and duration based STP: One’s risk appetite depends on:
a. Age: As age increases, one’s risk appetite decreases
b. Investment duration: Short investment duration leads to lower risk appetite
This STP ensures your money is moved from equity oriented fund (Equity Large Cap
Fund) to debt oriented fund (Bond Fund) as your age increases and remaining policy
term reduces. Under this STP, a proportion of the fund value will be allocated in Equity
Large Cap Fund basis the below formula:
‘Attained Age’ refers to the age of the life insured as on the last birthday when the
above formula is applied.
In simple words, the allocation percentage in Equity Large Cap Fund will be equal to
(100-attained age) multiplied by remaining Policy Term divided by 10. This allocation
percentage cannot be more than 100%.
At the time of opting in this STP, based on the above formula, the allocated premium
will be distributed between Equity Large Cap Fund and Bond Fund. We will
automatically rebalance the proportion between above two funds as per the above
formula on each Policy Anniversary.
Internal
60 Years 40% 60% 80% 100% 100%
Let’s say a 40 year old person opts for a 30 year policy Term. At inception, the
allocation in Equity Large Cap Fund will be:
(100−40)∗30
𝑀𝑖𝑛(100, 10
)% = 100%
After 15 years, the age will now be 55 years and remaining policy term will now be 15
years. At this stage, the allocation in Equity Large Cap fund will be:
(100−55)∗15
𝑀𝑖𝑛(100, )% = 67.5%
10
b) Profit target based STP: This STP enables you to lock the gains made from equity
and reduce the future market volatility by transferring the gains to a safer avenue.
Under this STP, 100% of the Premiums (net of allocation charges) are invested in
Equity Large Cap Fund. On any day where the gain from the Equity Large Cap Fund
reaches 10% or more of the cumulative premiums (including Top-up premiums) paid,
the amount equal to the appreciation will be transferred to the Bond Fund at the
prevailing unit price. The same is explained in the formula below:
If, Fund Value in Equity Large Cap Fund >= 110% * Total Premium paid till date
This ensures that the gains are protected from any future market volatilities. There will
be no movement from Bond Fund to any other fund.
Extending this example, let’s say after three years, the total premium paid is Rs.
3,00,000. Any time the fund value in Equity Large Cap fund crosses Rs. 3,30,000
(i.e. 110% of the paid premium till date of Rs. 3,00,000), say it is Rs. 3,30,597, then
Rs. 30,597 (i.e. Rs. 3,30,597 minus Rs. 3,00,000) will be transferred to Bond Fund.
You can opt for any one of the STPs as mentioned above. If you have opted for an STP,
switching and premium redirection will not be allowed. However, you have the option to
opt-in or opt-out of any of the STPs at any point of time during the Policy Term. You may
also choose the Self-Managed Strategy by opting out of the STPs at any point of time
during the Policy Term.
ii. Self-Managed Strategy: Under this strategy, you can decide to invest your money in your
choice of fund(s) in any proportion. You can switch monies amongst these funds using
the switch option. The funds available are listed below:

The amount paid out to you in each instalment will be calculated as follows:
(Systematic Withdrawal percentage / No. of instalments in a Policy Year as per the SWP
payout frequency chosen) x Fund Value as on date of withdrawal
Internal
For e.g. If the Systematic Withdrawal percentage is 3% and the fund value before each
payout is made is Rs. 20,00,000, then the amount payable under various payout
frequency will be as follows:
No. of instalments in a
Frequency Systematic Withdrawal amount
year
Yearly 1 = 3%/1 *Rs. 20,00,000 = Rs. 60,000
Half-yearly 2 = 3%/2 *Rs. 20,00,000 = Rs. 30,000
Quarterly 4 = 3%/4 *Rs. 20,00,000 = Rs. 15,000
Monthly 12 = 3%/12 *Rs. 20,00,000 = Rs. 5,000
Note:
• SWP option can be chosen at policy inception or anytime during the policy term.
• An existing option can also be modified during the policy term. Such request will be
effective from the next policy year. The available modifications are as follows:
o Systematic withdrawal percentage (percentage of fund value) per annum
o Payout frequency (yearly, half-yearly, quarterly or monthly)
o Policy year from which the Systematic Withdrawal Benefit (SWB) will be
payable.
o Opt in or Opt out of the facility
• Policyholder can opt out of SWP anytime during the policy term by giving a written
notice.
• Both Systematic Withdrawal Plan and Partial Withdrawal can be availed
simultaneously.
• Minimum amount that can be withdrawn under SWP is Rs. 500 per instalment.
• SWP will be paid as long as the resultant Fund Value after payment of such SWP is
greater than or equal to 105% of total premiums paid (Including Top-up Premiums). In
case the resultant Fund Value after payment of such SWP is lesser than 105% of total
premiums paid (Including Top-up Premiums), then such instalment of SWP will not be
paid.
• SWP will follow all the conditions of partial withdrawals.
3. Change in Premium Paying Term (PPT): You have an option to change (increase or
decrease) the PPT subject to:
a. The PPTs allowed under the plan;
b. All other conditions in the plan being met;
c. Provided all the due premiums till the date of such request have been paid.
In case of decrease of PPT, the revised PPT shall not be less than 10 years. This option
can be exercised while the policy is in-force and before the expiry of the existing PPT.
This option of change in Premium Paying Term is not allowed if Little Champ Benefit is
chosen.
The above option shall be applicable such that illustrated Unit Fund value at maturity shall
be at least 90% of total premium paid at 4% gross yield on the Unit Fund after allowing
for all the deductions under the policy, including underwriting loadings, if any.
Benefits in detail
Internal
1. Additions in the Fund: These additions help in enhancing your fund value and thereby
reducing the total cost under the plan. This plan has three kind of additions in the fund as
mentioned below:
a) Guaranteed Additions: Guaranteed Additions will be added to the Fund Value at the
end of every Policy Year, starting from the end of sixth Policy Year till the Maturity Date
of the policy. Each Guaranteed Addition will be 0.25% of average of daily Fund Value
of last 12 months.
Guaranteed Additions will be added even if the policy is reduced paid-up, is in revival
period but not in Discontinued Fund. In case of revival of policies from Discontinuance
Fund no additions will made in respect of past policy anniversaries.
b) Loyalty Additions: Loyalty Additions will be added to the Fund Value at the end of every
Policy Year, starting from the end of sixth Policy Year till the end of the Premium Paying
Term, provided all the Premiums which have fallen due for that Policy Year have been
paid. Each Loyalty Addition will be 0.15% of average of daily Fund Value of last 12
months.
No Loyalty Additions will be added for policies with 5 year PPT. Loyalty Additions will
be added in the sixth policy year for one year (i.e. sixth policy year) for policies with 6
year PPT, provided all the premiums which have fallen due have been paid for that
policy year.
c) Booster Additions: Booster Additions will be added to the Fund Value at the end of
every fifth Policy Year starting from end of 10th Policy Year till the Maturity Date of the
Policy. Each Booster Addition will be a percentage of average of daily Fund Value of
last 60 months, as shown in the table below:
Booster Additions will be added even if the policy is in the reduced paid-up status or
revival period.
The total Fund Value including all the Additions already added till previous policy year
will be considered to calculate the future Additions. All Additions will be added to the
Fund Value on the last day of the respective policy year. The Additions once added
will form part of the Fund Value.
2. Maturity Benefit: On survival of the Life Insured, at the end of the Policy Term, and
provided the Policy is In-force, Fund Value will be paid as Maturity Benefit. However, you
have the option to collect the maturity proceeds in instalments. This option is called
Settlement Option.
Settlement Option: Under this option, the amount paid out in each instalment will be the
outstanding Fund Value as on that instalment date divided by the number of outstanding
instalments.
Internal
For example, you choose the Settlement Term of 3 years to be paid out in monthly
instalments which means you have opted for 36 instalments. Let’s say the fund value at
the beginning of Settlement Option period is Rs. 50,00,000. The first payout will be
calculated as Rs. 50,00,000 / 36 = Rs. 1,38,889. Let’s say at the time of 15th instalment,
the fund value is Rs. 33,50,000. Here, outstanding instalments are now 22. Hence, the
15th payout will be calculated as Rs. 33,50,000 / 22 = Rs. 1,52,273.
i) The first instalment payment will be made on the Maturity Date of the Policy.
ii) Instalment payments will be made by redeeming Units from the Funds at the Unit
Price applicable on the instalment date.
iii) No Guaranteed Addition, Loyalty Addition or Booster Addition will be available
during the period of the settlement option.
iv) The risk cover shall be maintained at 105% of the total premiums paid.
Accordingly, mortality charges will be deducted.
v) No charges except FMC, switching charges, if any, and mortality charges will be
deducted during this period.
vi) At any point of time, during the settlement term you may opt for full payment of
balance Fund Value, without any charges.
vii) The outstanding fund value will continue to remain invested in the existing funds
unless specifically switched by the policyholder. During the Settlement Period the
investment risk in the investment portfolio is borne by the policyholder.
viii) In case of death of Life Insured during the Settlement Term, higher of Balance
Fund Value or 105% of the total premiums paid, is payable to the nominee/ legal
heir.
ix) Semi-Annual, Quarterly and Monthly modes are available only through ECS credit.
