Plan coverage: What Edelweiss Tokio Life-GCAP Plan covers?

This is how Edelweiss Tokio Life-GCAP Plan works:

• Guaranteed Accrual Addition: Under this plan, the policyholder receives Guaranteed Accrual Addition (GAA). The amount of GAA payable depends on the gender of the policyholder, annual premium, entry age, premium paying term, and policy term. The policyholder receives the GAA every year beginning from the 9th year of the policy till maturity. The GAA will be accrued at the beginning of every year. The cumulative GAA will be paid by the company on maturity or death.
• Loan: A loan can be availed against the Edelweiss Tokio Life – GCAP Plan once it has attained surrender value. A maximum loan amount of 90% of the surrender value can be obtained. For paid-up policies, if the outstanding loan amount and the interests accrued exceed the surrender value, then the policy will be terminated. Upon policy surrender, the demise of the life insured or policy maturity, the outstanding loan amount and interests will be deducted from the benefits payable.
• Death Benefit: In an unfortunate event of the death, the death benefit payable will depend on the age of the policyholder:
• If the policyholder's entry age is 5 years and above: Sum assured on death plus the cumulative GAA, if any, where the sum assured is higher of:
• Sum assured on maturity
• 11 times the annual premium for 5, 7, and 10 pay and 13 times of the annual premium for 12 pay
• 105% of total paid premiums (excluding the rider premiums, GST, any underwriting extras) till the time of death of the policyholder
• If the policyholder's entry age is below 5 years, the risk cover will begin a month before the second anniversary of the policy. In the unfortunate situation of death during the first year and 11 months from the date of commencement of the policy, the nominee will receive 105% of the total paid premiums (excluding GST, any underwriting extras, and rider premiums). Once the risk cover begins, once the risk cover starts, the death benefit will be as per the benefit given for the entry age of 5 years and above. Also, the amount of death benefit will also decrease by the following:
• The premiums that haven't been paid in the policy year at the time of the death, in case the life insured had chosen a premium frequency that is not annual
• The accumulated interest, due premiums and their interest, and the outstanding loan amount, if any.
• Maturity Benefit: On maturity, the policyholder will be paid the sum assured plus the cumulative GAA as mentioned in Annexure A where the sum assured on maturity is as much as the annual premium.
