Can you surrender your policy?

Answer

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) - The policy will acquire Guaranteed surrender value after first two full years’ premiums have been paid.

GSV factors are dependent upon policy year of surrender and policy term and will be calculated as follows.

GSV factor (1) * Total Premiums Paid + GSV factor (2) * Accrued Guaranteed Additions plus accrued Paid-up Guaranteed additions, if any.

For more details on guaranteed surrender value factors, please refer to Annexure I or visit our website, www.indiafirstlife.com or get in touch with your financial advisor.

Special Surrender Value (SSV) - The policy will acquire Special surrender value after one full years’ premium have been paid.

For Fully Paid-Up policy i.e on or after paying all due premiums:

The SSV will be calculated as follows:

  • {Expected present value of Paid-up Sum Assured on Maturity plus 

  • Expected present value of Paid-up Sum assured on death plus 

  • Expected present value of accrued guaranteed additions, if any,

  • Expected present value of accrued Paid-up guaranteed additions, if any, (applicable only for reduced paid-up policies) plus

  • Expected present value of future Paid-up guaranteed additions, if any}

The applicable SSV shall be reviewed at least annually based on the prevailing yield on 10 Year G-Sec and the underlying experience.

In case of non-payment of premium within the expiry of grace period and provided policy has not acquired any Surrender Value; the policy will lapse. All the benefits will cease, and no benefit will be payable under the policy.
