October 16th, 2007 Leave a comment Go to comments

While most insurance plans block your money for a certain period of time, Reliance Cash Flow Plan gives you the double benefit of life insurance along with easy liquidity through lump sum cash. It provides money periodically when you need it.

It lets you live life to the fullest today and at the same time, helps you stay protected for tomorrow by giving you the flexibility of receiving a specified percentage of the Sum Assured at specified intervals.

Key Features

* Easy Liquidity – Get periodic cash flows at the end of the fourth year and thereafter at the end of every three years
* Wealth creation through bonus additions
* On maturity receive accumulated bonuses along with final lump sum payout
* More value for your money by way of High Sum Assured Rebate
* Full Sum Assured plus bonuses in case of your unfortunate death. This is over and above the Survival Benefits already paid
* Option to add two riders – Critical Illness Rider and Accidental Death Benefit & Total and Permanent Disablement Rider

How does this Plan work?
You pay premium every year for the entire term and get Survival Benefits at periodical intervals as mentioned below.

On death, your Beneficiary will get the full Sum Assured, plus accumulated bonuses, over and above the Survival Benefits already paid to you.

Benefits
Survival Benefit: Get a percentage of the Sum Assured on the fourth anniversary and on every third Policy Anniversary till maturity.

Maturity Benefit: On maturity you get the remaining percentage of the Sum Assured plus accumulated bonuses.

Life Cover Benefit: In the unfortunate event of loss of life, your Beneficiary will receive the full Sum Assured plus accumulated bonuses till that date.

Rider Benefit: You also have the option to add two additional benefits to customize the Policy as per your needs:

1. Accidental Death Benefit & Total and Permanent Disablement Rider
2. Critical Illness Ride

Can I take a loan against my Policy?
No loan is available under this Policy

What happens if I discontinue paying premium?
During the first three years, if premiums are not paid within the grace period the Policy will lapse.

After the first three years if premiums are not paid within the grace period the Policy will be made paid up and the Sum Assured will be reduced,

* firstly, in the proportion of completed duration to Original Policy Term and
* secondly, by the amount of periodic lump sum payments already made.

Any accumulated bonuses attached to this Policy will remain attached in full. Once this Policy becomes ‘paid-up’, no further bonuses are paid. You will receive the ‘paid-up’ Sum Assured plus bonuses on the maturity date of the Policy or in the event of loss of life. Once the Policy becomes paid-up no further Survival Benefits are paid.

What if I want to discontinue the Policy?
We provide you the option to surrender your Policy and receive the Surrender Value. If your Policy has accumulated any bonuses, then you will also receive the cash value of that total amount upon surrendering your Policy.

Your plan acquires a Surrender Value after 3 years’ premium payment and after three years have elapsed from date of commencement of Policy. We guarantee a minimum Surrender Value of 30% of the total premiums paid (excluding any extra premiums and premiums for additional benefits) subsequent to the first year premium, less the total of lump sum Survival Benefits already paid under this Policy.

On surrender, the insurance protection provided under the Policy will also cease.

Can I revive a Policy which is lapsed?
A lapsed Policy can be reinstated for full benefits anytime before the date of maturity at terms and conditions required by the Company.
