How does the plan work?

The insured person chooses the Monthly Income, Policy Term, Premium Payment Term and Frequency of the premium payment. Depending upon these parameters, as well as the gender and age of the insured person, the premium amount is decided. At the unfortunate demise of the insured person during the term of the policy, the death benefit is paid to the beneficiary.

The plan can be customised in three easy steps:

1. Decide the Monthly Income for your family
2. Select the Policy Term (PT)
3. Select Premium Payment Term (PPT)
