IndiaFirst Life Smart Retirement Plan is a non-participating, unit-linked, individual savings, pension plan, specially designed to provide a low-cost retirement solution to our customers looking to boost their retirement corpus with market-linked returns. This smart pension plan offers the flexibility of single, regular or limited pay, and long-term coverage till age 80.
This retirement smart plan offers 2 plan options:
Retire Smart
Retire Secure
The Death Benefit under this retirement smart plan will be determined by the option chosen by you at inception.
On the death of the Life Assured, before the end of the Policy Term, while the Policy is in force, the Beneficiary/Claimant will receive the Death Benefit, and the Policy will terminate. The Death Benefit shall be higher of the following:
Sum Assured on Death; or
Fund Value as on the date of intimation of death.
On the death of the life assured, before the end of the policy term, while the policy is in force, the Beneficiary/Claimant will receive the death benefit as follows:
Sum Assured on death is paid immediately as a lump-sum
All future premiums, if any, are paid by Us as and when due & the policy continues
Where,
Sum Assured on Death in this Policy at any time during the Policy Term will be 105% of Total Premiums Paid.
The amount of Sum Assured on Death shall be reduced to the extent of the Partial Withdrawals made during the 2 (Two) years immediately preceding the date of death of the Life Assured.
At the end of the policy term, the prevailing Fund Value as on the Vesting Date will be payable.
Additionally, one of the major retirement benefits of the Retire Smart Option is that all mortality charges deducted during the Policy Term will be added back to the Fund Value, provided the policy is in force and all due premiums have been paid.
On payment of the first-year premium, an additional amount called Guaranteed Additions1 is added to your Fund Value.
The IndiaFirst Life Smart Retirement Plan allocates the Guaranteed Additions1 to the Fund at the time of Premium Allocation for the first Policy Year, resulting in a higher allocation to the Fund than the premium paid by the policyholder. The amount of Guaranteed Additions1 varies based on the chosen premium payment term & premium frequency. For more details on Guaranteed Additions, please refer to the product brochure.
On the date of Vesting, the policyholder shall have the option to extend the accumulation period or deferment period within the same policy with the same terms & conditions as the original Policy. For more details on the postponement of the Vesting Benefit, please refer to the product brochure.
On the Vesting Date, if the IndiaFirst Life Smart Retirement Plan is in force with all due premiums paid and the policyholder utilises 100% of the Vesting Benefit to purchase an annuity from IndiaFirst Life, then the company shall add a Vesting Loyalty Booster of 0.5% of the average of the Fund Values on the last business day of the last eight policy quarters. This will be added to the Fund value in the form of the addition of units.
The retirement smart plan offers three fund options and two fund management strategies:
With this strategy, you can choose to invest your premiums in one, multiple or all of these Funds based on your risk appetite and needs. This option lets you utilise your market acumen and make the most of your retirement funds through market-linked investments.

Currently, these switches are free of any charge. The policyholder is allowed to switch funds during the minority of a life assured. Unused free switches cannot be carried forward to the next month/year.
You have the option of redirecting the premium from one Fund to another Fund within the IndiaFirst Life Smart Retirement Plan by giving a written notice to us. Under premium redirection, you can redirect the future premiums towards a different fund or set of funds. However, under the premium redirection option, your past allocation of premium does not change. Premium redirections are free of charge currently.
You are allowed to make the following alterations in your smart pension plan –
You have the option to change the premium frequency (i.e., Premium Payment Mode) during the Premium Paying Term without any charges /fees. The change in premium frequency can happen only within the available frequency options. However, once a death claim has been triggered, the Beneficiary/Claimant cannot change the premium frequency under the Plan Option- Retire Secure.
We will value your units in line with the unit-linked guidelines issued by the IRDAI. As per the prevailing guidelines of the Authority, the Unit Price will be calculated as follows:
Market value of the assets, plus: value of current assets, less: value of current liabilities and provisions, if any, divided: by the number of units existing on the valuation date (before creation/redemption of units).
When divided by the total number of units in the fund at the valuation date (before any units are redeemed), we get the unit price of the fund under consideration.
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. For complete details on premium allocation, please refer to the product brochure.
