It is advisable to continue your policy to enjoy full benefits of your policy. However, we understand that in certain circumstances you may want to surrender your policy.
You may surrender this Policy during the Policy Term, by submitting a written request to us any time after the Policy has acquired the Surrender Value. Please remember, you cannot revive your Policy once it is surrendered.
The amount payable on surrender will be higher of Guaranteed Surrender Value (GSV) and Special Surrender Value (SSV).
Guaranteed Surrender Value (GSV) is acquired, if you have paid Premiums for at least first two full policy years.
The Guaranteed Surrender Value (GSV) will be:
GSV = GSV factor * Total Premiums Paid
Less
Sum of all Survival Benefits already paid up to the date of surrender.
GSV factors are dependent upon policy year of surrender and policy term.
Special Surrender Value (SSV) is acquired, if you have paid full Premiums for the first policy year provided one full year premium has been received.
The Special Surrender Value will be calculated as:
Expected present value of paid-up death benefit plus Expected present value of paid-up survival benefit plus Expected present value of paid-up maturity benefit
The basis of calculation of SSV factors are as follows:
Interest Rate: 7.68% p.a.
Interest rate is derived using the following approach:
7.68% = 7.18% [(1+7.05%/2)2 -1] plus spread of 50 bps
where 7.05% p.a. is the 10 year G-sec rate (convertible half yearly) as at the end of the financial year ending 31st March 2024.
Mortality: 90% of Indian Assured Lives Mortality (2012-14) Ultimate with mortality improvement of 2% p.a.
The applicable SSV shall be reviewed at least annually based on the prevailing yield on 10 Year G-Sec and the underlying experience.
