Kotak Premier Moneyback Plan is a participating savings plus protection plan that offers a lump sum payout regularly. The payout depends on the policy term and the sum assured chosen by the policyholder at the inception of the policy. The plan also offers reversionary bonuses and maturity addition that are paid out at the time of policy maturity. In some cases, bonuses are declared under the plan from the end of the first policy year. The Kotak Premier Moneyback Plan can be enhanced using an additional cover for accidental death.

|
Accidental Death Benefit | If the life assured dies in an accident, an additional basic sum assured is paid along with the death benefit. |

The salient features of the Kotak Premier Moneyback Plan are described below:
Regular payouts | The plan provides cashback on a regular basis. The cashback is a percentage of the basic sum assured at equal intervals. This is also based on the chosen policy term. The remaining sum assured is paid out at maturity.
|
Maturity Addition | In addition to the maturity payout, a lump sum Maturity Addition is payable to the policyholder if the policy is in-force. Maturity Additions are a percentage of the basic sum assured and will change based on the policy term.
|
Reduced Paid-up Benefit | After the policy reaches surrender value, if the policyholder stops paying premiums, the policy is converted into a Reduced Paid-up plan. The life assured will continue to enjoy the benefits under the policy in this scenario. |
High Sum Assured Rebate | The policyholder gets a premium discount if he/she opts for a high sum assured. The discount is Rs.2 per Rs.1000 sum assured, if the total sum assured opted for is Rs.5 lakh and above. |
Simple Reversionary Bonus | The insurance company may declare a bonus at the end of each financial year. This bonus is expressed as a percentage of the sum assured. The bonuses accrue from the first year onwards and is paid either at death or policy maturity. |
Interim Bonus | If a claim is raised mid-way through a financial year or before the Simple Reversionary Bonus is declared, an Interim Bonus may be paid by the insurer. |
Terminal Bonus | The insurance company may pay a Terminal Bonus at the death of the life assured, as long as all premiums have been paid. The bonus is paid along with the Maturity Benefit and will be a percentage of the sum assured. Policies that are Reduced Paid-up or surrendered will not be eligible for the Terminal Bonus. |
Vesting if the life assured is a minor | If the policy is taken on the life of a minor, it vests when he/she reaches 18 years of age. The life assured will become the policyholder from that date onwards. |
Grace Period | The insurer offers a grace period of 30 days from the premium payment due date for policies with yearly, half-yearly, and quarterly premium payment frequencies. The grace period for policies with monthly frequency is 15 days. The policyholder can pay the due premiums within the grace period and retain the policy benefits. |
Policy lapse | The policy will move into lapsed status when the following conditions are met:
|
Revival of policy | A Reduced Paid-up or lapsed policy can be revived within 2 years from the unpaid premium due date.
|
Surrender of policy |
|
Reduced Paid-up Policy | After the policy attains surrender value, if the premiums are discontinued, then the policy is moved to Reduced Paid-up status when the grace period ends.
|
Free-look Period | Once the policyholder receives the policy documentation, he/she can review the terms and conditions within. If the policyholder disagrees to any of these terms, he/she can return the policy back to the insurance company within 15 days. This interval is referred to as the free-look period. The free-look period for policies that were purchased through distance marketing channels is 30 days. The policyholder will also have to state relevant reasons for the return of the policy. Once the insurer receives the returned policy, it will provide a refund to the policyholder. The value of the refund will be the sum of the paid premiums minus the expenses incurred by the policyholder on medical examination and stamp duty. |
Additional rider protection | The Kotak Premier Moneyback Plan can be enhanced through any of the 3 riders provided by Kotak Life Insurance. |
