Other Key Features – Free-look Period, Surrender Value, etc.

A few other features that can help you make a well-informed decision when buying your policy are:

Free-Look Period	For the DHFL Pramerica Life Group Term Care Plan, the free-look period is 15 days, during which you can return the policy if you disagree with any terms and conditions specified in the policy. Besides, members also have the option of cancelling the scheme within 15 days of receiving the Certificate of Insurance from the insurer. This policy is not sold through Distance Marketing modes, and hence a standard 15-day free-look period is maintained.
Surrender Value	Individual member surrendering the policy: If the member is covered under a loan-linked plan, the policy can be surrendered after prepayment of the whole loan amount. Once the plan is surrendered by the member, the insurer will pay the Surrender Value to the member. The formula to calculate the Surrender Value is: 85% of the Single Premium paid (minus any applicable taxes) x Unexpired coverage term in completed months/Total coverage term x Coverage in-force/Initial coverage amount. Master policyholder surrendering the policy: The master policyholder can surrender the main policy, anytime during the policy tenure. Individual members can choose to continue the cover or get a Surrender Value from the insurer. The formula to calculate the Surrender Value is: X% of the single Premium paid x Unexpired coverage term in completed months/Total coverage term x Coverage in-force/Initial coverage amount. Note: X% will be equal to 85% or 75%, based on the percentage of lives that are surrendered.
Claim Payable	For regulated entities (RBI-regulated Scheduled Banks, Cooperative Banks, NBFCs with an RBI-issued certificate of registration, National Housing Bank regulated Housing Finance Companies): If the member meets with an untimely death during the policy term, the claim amount will be first directed towards paying the outstanding loan amount, and the balance amount will be paid to the nominee. For others: For any other entity apart from the ones mentioned above, the claim amount will be paid directly to the beneficiary.
