The plan aims to provide regular monthly income until maturity to meet one’s future financial requirements. It is a non-linked plan, which provides monthly income of 1 per cent of sum assured up to maturity date after the premium payment is over. This plan comes with two options, first is Level Income Benefit, where one can avail a fixed income benefit of 1 per cent of the sum assured per month.

The second option which is increasing income benefit provides policyholder a fixed income benefit of 1 per cent of the sum assured per month with an additional benefit of increasing the income by 5 per cent per annum after twelve months. That said, one also has the option to receive the income benefit annually rather than monthly, at any policy anniversary or after the commencement of the Income Benefit Period.

In addition to that the plan also comes with an in-built accidental death benefit where an additional sum assured over and above the base sum assured will be paid in lump sum besides initiating the monthly payouts, in the event of death of the life insured owing to an accident.  Thus, providing double sum assured to the nominee in case of an accidental death along with the monthly income benefit.  In addition to that bonuses accrued during the policy term would also be paid at the end of the policy term.
