The India First Life Guaranteed Benefit Plan is a non-linked, non-participating, limited
premium, endowment life insurance policy. This guaranteed benefit plan provides the option
to pay for a short period (5-7 years), life insurance coverage for the policy duration, and
several pay-out options to choose from.
Non-linked endowment assurance policy
As a non-linked policy, the India First Life Guaranteed Benefit Plan runs
independently and is not connected to market fund values. The endowment policy
offers guaranteed benefits because the offerings are not impacted by the volatile
market's highs and lows.
Non-participating guaranteed income plan
In a non-participating policy, there are no dividends, bonuses, or profit-sharing
options. In comparison with participating policies, non-participating plans offer higher
security, guaranteed returns intimated to you on day one, and comparatively lower
premium rates.
Limited pay endowment plan
As a limited pay guaranteed income plan, the India First Life Guaranteed Benefit Plan
offers you a shorter pay commitment. You can choose to pay premiums for 5-7 years
and receive pay-outs in your preferred mode for a fixed period after that till the plan
term ends. Not only do you pay for a shorter amount of time, but you can also defer
pay- outs with gap years, enjoy the benefits of life cover till the end of the policy term,
and periodic money-back during the distribution period of the policy.
What does the India first Life Guaranteed Benefit Plan offer?
The word 'guarantee' inspires a sense of security. It offers you something concrete that you
can bank on. In the past, traditional saving instruments were enough to meet the needs of the
future. With the burgeoning economy, rising prices, and inflation, maintaining financial
stability in the future requires much more than a fixed deposit or two. This is where the
IndiaFirst Life Guaranteed Benefit Plan comes into the investment picture.
Created with risk-averse investors in mind, the India First Life Guaranteed Benefit Plan is an
income-insurance tool that offers maturity benefits, cashback, periodic endowments, and
traditional life cover—guaranteed. In typical guaranteed income insurance plans, you select a
policy term during which your life is insured.
The India First Life Guaranteed Benefit Plan features a limited pay option, allowing you to
pay premiums for a limited period. After this, you can enjoy a few gap years during which
your investments continue to grow and then receive regular income payouts in a mode of
your choosing.
You can choose to receive pay-outs in a lump sum or in installments over a period of 5, 10, or
15 years to ensure a steady second stream of income with the India First Life Guaranteed
Benefit Plan.
A market-linked policy is subject to the highs and lows experienced by the funds. However, a
non-linked guaranteed income plan is not affected by the volatility of the market at all. Your
savings continue to accumulate, earn interest, and grow. At the same time, you enjoy the
peace of mind that comes with knowing that your money and financial security are never at
risk with the India First Life Guaranteed Benefit Plan.
The India First Life Guaranteed Benefit Plan serves as a second stream of income that you
can bank on because you are the one who built it. This endowment assurance policy takes the
guesswork out of it. You know exactly what you will be getting through the policy term and
at maturity at the policy term's very start.
By choosing the India First Life Guaranteed Benefit Plan, you are choosing peace of mind
and financial stability in the years to come. Plan today to enjoy the myriad benefits of an
endowment life insurance policy—periodic guaranteed income, traditional life cover, shorter
pay commitments, and complete flexibility.
