This is a non participating non linked immediate annuity plan, which can be purchased by paying a lump sum amount. You get the choice to select your retirement age, and we pay you a fixed annuity on a monthly / quarterly / half-yearly / yearly basis as chosen by you for life.
This plan may include the 'Life Assured / First Annuitant', 'Second Annuitant' (in case of joint life annuity), the 'Policyholder', the 'Nominee' and the 'Appointee'. Life assured referred to as First Annuitant hereafter is the person, on whose life the plan depends. On the first annuitant's death (in case of a single life annuity) or on the last survivor's death (in case of a joint life annuity) the annuity payout stops, and the plan ends. Any Indian citizen can be the life assured / first annuitant, as long as –

A policyholder is the person who holds the plan. The policyholder may or may not be the Life Assured. You must be at least 18 years as on your last birthday at the time of applying for the plan, to be a policyholder.
Who is a Nominee?
A nominee is the person who receives the death benefit in case of the untimely event of Annuitant's death (in case of single life return of purchase price annuity option or annuity certain option before expiry of the certain period). The nominee is appointed by you, the policyholder. The nominee can even be a minor (i.e. below 18 years of age).
Who is an Appointee?
An appointee is the person whom you may nominate in case your nominee is a minor. The appointee receives the plan money on behalf of the nominee in case of the untimely demise of the Life Assured while the nominee is a minor.
The plan has 4 different options to choose from. The benefits and working against each annuity option have been explained below:
