Plan Coverage - What the Group Superannuation Cash Accumulation Plan covers

Defined Contribution Superannuation Scheme	The members of the policy will have individual accounts with a certain value. On the death, retirement or resignation of the employee, an amount equal to the policy account value will be payable to him/her.
Defined Benefit Superannuation Scheme	All members of the policy are covered under a single policy. On the death, retirement or resignation of an employee, the amount payable is calculated based on the corpus needed to buy the benefits.

Other Key Features

Cooling off period

A 15-day cooling off period is provided, within which the policyholder may return the policy if he/she is not satisfied with the terms and conditions of the policy. The insurer is liable to make a refund equal to the total contributions paid, after deduction of the stamp duty charges.

Surrender benefit

The policyholder can choose to terminate the policy before the completion of the term. A surrender benefit is then payable to the policyholder. The guaranteed surrender value is equal to 90% of the total contributions paid after deductions of the benefits paid. Whereas the special surrender value is equal to the policy account value after deductions of any market value adjustment and surrender charges. Either the guaranteed surrender value or the special surrender value will be provided, whichever is higher.
