Plan Coverage - What the Group Leave Encashment Scheme covers
| Death benefit | In case a member enrolled under the policy dies while in service, the sum assured along with the leave encashment benefit are paid to the nominee. The leave encashment benefit is determined based on the scheme rules. However, the benefit payable is limited to the remaining policy account value in the policy account. |
| Retirement/Leaving service benefit | On retirement of a member, who is enrolled under the policy, the leave encashment benefit is provided as per the scheme rules. The benefit is limited to the policy account value remaining in the account. |
Other Key Features
| Cooling off period | The first 15 days of the policy are provided to the grantees as the cooling off period. In case the grantees are not satisfied with the terms and conditions, the policy can be returned to the insurer. The amounts received are then refunded after the deduction of stamp duty charges and proportionate mortality charges. |
| Surrender benefit | The policy can be terminated before the completion of the term and a surrender benefit is payable. The guaranteed surrender value is 90% of the total contribution minus the mortality charges, policy administration charges and the benefits paid. Whereas the special surrender value is as much as the policy account value minus the applicable surrender charges and any market value adjustment. The higher amount, either the guaranteed surrender value or the special surrender value, will be provided. |
