and
• When premiums are paid for at least 1 full year and after completion

without any paid-up value.

If a policy has acquired paid-up value and stops paying premiums:

(i) Death benefit shall be the highest of:


• Sum Assured on Death × (Total Premiums Paid ÷ Total Premiums
Payable)
• 105% of Total Premiums Paid

upon payment of premium in case of SP Single Pay and upon

Pay/Regular Pay.
The Company may pay a surrender value higher than the GSV in the
form of a Special Surrender Value (SSV).
SSV shall become payable after completion of first policy year
provided one full year premium has been received for
Limited/Regular Pay.
Surrender Value will be the higher of Guaranteed Surrender Value
(GSV) and Special Surrender Value (SSV), Where,

already paid, if any

be equal to the yield on 10 Year G-Sec plus 50 basis points.
Currently, the interest rate used for calculating the expected
present value is 7.75% p.a.
The discount rates shall be reviewed at least once annually and in
case of any significant movement in the yields. The revised discount
rates shall apply to all policies including the policies already sold.

value.
Policy cancellation value (if acquired) shall be payable:
• Upon death of the life assured during revival period, or
• At the end of the revival period if the policy is not revived
