This plan is available for individuals aged 20 to 45 years. Here are the key features and options regarding the maturity of this plan:
Eligibility:
The plan is available for individuals aged 20 to 45 years.
The policyholder has several options regarding the maturity of this plan:
After the policy has been in force for 20 years or more, the policyholder can choose to mature the policy early for a proportionately reduced sum insured. This option provides flexibility in accessing the policy's benefits ahead of the originally selected term.
After the policy has been in force for 20 years or more, the policyholder, based on their financial needs, can choose to mature the policy in parts. This means that they can receive a portion of the policy's benefits before the original maturity date while keeping the policy in force for the remaining sum insured.
If the policyholder prefers to let the policy mature at the originally selected term, they will receive the sum insured as well as an additional bonus. This option provides an opportunity to maximize the policy's benefits at the end of the chosen term.
The policy participates in bonuses declared by State Life from time to time. Bonuses are typically added to the policy's accumulated value and contribute to the overall benefits received.
Policyholders can enhance the coverage under the policy by attaching supplementary covers or riders. These supplementary covers can provide additional benefits or protection based on the policyholder's needs.
Insurance companies typically offer tools or calculators to help individuals estimate the premium they would pay for the Optional Maturity Endowment plan. Premiums are determined based on factors such as the age of the policyholder and the chosen policy term.
In summary, the Optional Maturity Endowment plan offers policyholders the flexibility to decide how and when the policy matures. They can choose to mature the policy early, receive benefits in parts, or allow it to mature at the originally selected term with an additional bonus. The plan also offers participation in bonuses, the option to add supplementary covers, and the ability to customize the policy to suit individual needs and financial goals.
