Below mentioned are the sample annual mortality charges for various age groups for Rs.10,000 sum assured for Life Cover

These charges will be subject to applicable tax, if any. 

Surrender Charge (Penalty)
The Master Policyholder can surrender the policy at any time by giving a written request, however, if the Policy is surrender within third annual renewal term of the policy than a surrender charge of 0.05% of the total policy fund value subject to a maximum of Rs 500,000/- is deducted from the total Policy Fund Value to determine the Surrender Value. Hence the surrender value will be equal to the policy fund value less the surrender charge, if any.

Once the policy is surrendered and the surrender value is paid, the Company shall cease to be liable for any benefit payable under the policy. Once the policy is terminated, it cannot be reinstated.

Except for exits as mentioned in the scheme rules, no other withdrawals shall be permitted.

• Amounts transferred in from a former gratuity scheme with effect from the date such amounts were received by the Company; and
• IInterest income credited as on 31st March every year (or on date of surrender in case of surrender of policy), if any, as stated above.

Further, the policy account will be debited with:

• All benefits as defined in the scheme rules paid in respect of members as on the date when paid by the Company;
• taxes, duties or surcharges of whatever description levied by any statutory authority;
• interest or late fee, if any, payable on the benefits
• Surrender charge (penalty) if any
• Mortality charges for life cover

Termination of the Master Policy
The Master Policyholder should maintain a minimum balance of Rs 100,000 in the policy account.

The company will send a notice to the Policyholder if the policy account value falls below Rs 100000. The Policyholder can get a valuation done as per extant accounting standard governing the measurement of long term employee benefits to see if the scheme is underfunded or not.

If the scheme is not underfunded, the policy will continue as it is.

If the scheme is underfunded, then the company will give the Policyholder 30 day’s period to pay additional contributions to address the underfunding of the scheme. If additional contributions are not received within the stated period, then the company will terminate the policy and refund the entire amount available in the policy account to the Policyholder. Thereafter the Company shall cease to be liable for any benefit payable under the policy. Once policy is terminated, it cannot be reinstated.
