Eligibility - Who is Kotak Saral Suraksha for?

Kotak does not want the economically weaker sections of the society to miss out on insurance as it is a very vital part of financial management. Let us take a look at the detailed eligibility criteria to apply for Kotak Saral Suraksha:

Sum Assured and Premium Range - What you get and what it costs?

Your sum assured will be determined by the premium payment option that you choose. With a Kotak Saral Suraksha, you can go for a single premium or a 5-year term.

Premiums vary based on age, location, plan term and other factors.

Plan Coverage - What Kotak Saral Suraksha covers?

Kotak Saral Suraksha provides complete protection. It will give a death benefit to the nominee or the legal heir if the policyholder dies. It does not offer a maturity benefit as the plan is a non-participating one. The death benefit offered by this plan is different for a 5-year premium payment plan and a single premium plan.

Exclusions - What the Kotak Saral Suraksha does not cover?

All insurance plans have a few exclusions. These particular cases will not be covered by the insurance policy. The Kotak Saral Suraksha plan has one exclusion and it is the general exclusion. Here are the details:

• If the policyholder commits suicide in one year after the policy is offered, 80% of the premiums that have already been paid, will be provided.
• Assume that a policy has been revived within 6 months since when the premium has not been paid for the first time and the policyholder commits suicide in 1 year after that, then the suicide exclusion cannot be applied. The death benefit will have to be provided.
• If the policy is revived after 6 months since the first time of not paying the premiums and if the life insured commits suicide in 1 year, then the surrender value or 80% of the premiums that have already been paid will be paid as the benefit.
