Every premium (new business or renewal), is allocated into fund options as selected in the proposal form or through subsequent request or as per the investment strategy opted, after deducting allocation charges, if any.
When and how does your premium get allocated to units in your policy?
The allotment of units to you, the policyholder will be done only after we receive the premium amount.
New Business: We will allocate new units on Business the day we receive premiums if we receive these before 3:00 p.m. They are allocated the next day if we receive them after 3:00 p.m.
Renewal Premiums: We will allocate the premium on the Premiums due date, whether or not it has been received before due date. (This assumes that the full premium is received on the due date). We will keep the renewal premiums received before the due date in the deposit account. It will not earn any returns until the renewal premium due date. On the due date, we will use the same for unit funds.
How do we value your units at the time of renewals and redemptions of your premiums? We will value your units in line with the unit linked guidelines issued by the IRDAI.
