Notes:
1. Jeevan Saral (Plan 165):
Under Jeevan Saral (Plan 165), provided at least 10 years premiums have been paid
under the policy and policy has been in force for at least 10 years, the loyalty
addition is payable on exits by maturity or death or surrender per thousand maturity
sum assured for the complete duration for which the premiums have been paid.
Provided further that loyalty addition is also payable if death claim occurs in the 10 th
year of the policy and the policy then is in full force.
For the purpose of determining the rate of loyalty addition for exits by death or
surrender or maturity the duration in completed years for which premiums have
been paid shall be considered. For example, if the premiums have been paid for say
27
11 years and 6 months, the rate of loyalty addition shall be corresponding to 11
years duration and the fraction shall be ignored.
In case the policy results in death claim for the 10th policy year, provided the policy
is in force at the time of death, the duration for determining the loyalty addition shall
be 10 years.
For exits by death or surrender or maturity, once the rate of loyalty addition for the
complete duration for which the premiums have been paid has been determined as
above this rate should then be applied on the higher of
“Accumulated / Discounted Value as the case may be, as described in Step-5 of the
circular ref: Actl./2119/4 dated 21/09/2007 (such accumulated or discounted value
calculated on the reduced maturity sum assured in case of earlier partial
surrender(s) under the policy)”
and
“The maturity sum assured (reduced maturity sum assured in case of partial
surrender(s) under the policy) multiplied by the ratio of the number of premiums
paid to the total number of premiums payable under the policy”.
It may be noted that in case of partial surrender, the corresponding benefits should
be proportionately reduced.
Needless to add that if all the premiums have been paid under the policy and the
policy reaches maturity, the rate of loyalty addition shall be applied on the original
maturity sum assured if no partial surrender has been availed of or on such reduced
maturity sum assured if partial surrender has been availed of.
2. In the case of policies with mode of payment of premiums other than yearly, unpaid
premiums if any, falling due before the policy anniversary are deducted from the
claim amount payable on death and hence they should be treated to have been
received for this purpose.
3. In case of maturity claims, if no premiums have been paid during the last policy
year, but the policy was in force for full sum assured on the policy anniversary prior
to the maturity date, the claim is paid for full sum assured on the maturity date
along with Guaranteed Additions, reversionary and interim bonus (if any) subject to
the deduction of the unpaid installments of premium with interest, if any, for the last
year of the Policy. Such policies will be eligible for payment of Loyalty Additions for
full sum assured if other qualifying conditions stated herein are satisfied.
4. Where a policyholder discounts the policy within one year preceding the date of
maturity, the policy will be eligible for Loyalty Additions provided other qualifying
conditions are satisfied. Further, where policyholders surrender the policy in the last
policy year and unpaid premiums for the last policy year are recovered in claim
settlement, loyalty addition for full policy term shall be payable as per terms and
conditions applicable under the plan.
5. The policies for which death claim is payable as per Claims Concession Clause, the
Loyalty additions would be payable provided other qualifying conditions stated in this
circular are satisfied.
28
6. The policy under which free insurance cover is available and if death takes place
during free insurance cover period, loyalty addition for the period of free insurance
cover for which premiums have not been paid would not be payable.
7. With profit policies transferred from the UK, Fiji & Mauritius Branch Registers and
also those from LIC (International) BSC (Closed) will be allowed loyalty additions at
the same rate as applicable to corresponding plans on Indian Registers. Such
transferred policies for which no corresponding plans exist on Indian register will be
allowed last declared loyalty addition rates for such policies.
Provided the policy is in-force, 2.50% of policyholder account value on the date of
maturity or on the date of death during the last policy year for policy term 10 to 13 years
has been declared under Bima Account II (Plan 806).
The above rates are applicable on death or maturity during the period commencing
