1. POS – Easy Bima Plan

The term plan offers financial protection to the family members of the life assured. The POS – Easy Bima Plan comes with riders that the policyholder can choose to add-on to his/her policy. The requirements of the policy are minimum and no medical examinations are required for the purchase. The premium payment term and the policy term can be opted for based on the policyholder’s needs.

 

Benefits and features of POS – Easy Bima Plan

• Death benefit: In case of death of the life assured during the 90-day waiting period, the total premium paid is returned by the insurer. If the death of the life assured occurs post the 90-day waiting period, the death benefit equal to the sum assured is payable to the nominee. The policy terminates once the death benefit is paid. The sum assured of the policy is chosen when the policy is purchased. The minimum sum assured of the POS – Easy Bima Plan is Rs.50,000 and the maximum is Rs.15 lakh.

• Surrender value: If the policy is surrendered before the completion of the policy term, either the Guaranteed Surrender Value (GSV) or the Special Surrender Value (SSV) is payable to the policyholder. The surrender value will be the higher amount of GSV or SSV. The surrender value is payable only if premiums are paid for 2 consecutive years for a 5-year premium paying term and for 3 consecutive years for a 10-year premium paying term.

• Policy term: Individuals can choose from the 10-year, 15-year and 20-year policy terms available under the policy.

• Accidental death benefit: In case the life assured’s death is caused by an accident, the accidental death benefit sum assured is payable along with the death benefit. The accidental death benefit sum assured is equal to the sum assured of the base plan.
• Return of premium: Though most term insurance plans do not offer a maturity benefit, the return of premium rider will enable the policyholder to receive the total premium paid throughout the policy if he/she survives the policy term.
