How it Works:
Mr. Singh, age 40, chooses to pay annual premiums as shown below. He opts for a Sum Assured of 15 times the annual premium and a Premium Paying Term of 20 years. The table below shows surrender values as at the policy anniversary immediately after Mr. Singh’s 99th birthday for multiple scenarios assuming annual gross investment return of 4% and 8% with 100% investment in Balanced Plus Fund.

The assumed rates of return (4% p.a. and 8% p.a.) shown in the above illustrative example are not guaranteed and they are not the upper or lower limits of what you might get back as the value of your policy depends on a number of factors including future investment performance. The Fund Values shown in the above illustrative example are after deduction of service tax and cess (@14.5%).
