The plan is intended for farsighted individuals who want to secure the future of themselves and their loved ones while at the same time reaping benefits on their hard-earned incomes. It is suitable for salaried as well as business-oriented individuals falling between the age of 18-65 at the time of purchase while the plan can go up to a maximum of 85 years of age of the insured.
Account Value Acceleration Premiums: The Plan is a regular premium plan but a customer may top-up the regular premiums by depositing surplus funds as lump sum contributions in the Plan. These lump-sum contributions, called “Account Value Acceleration Premium” (AVAP) payments can be made at any time. The AVAP payments will increase the Account Value of the Plan, but will not affect the basic sum at risk.
Premium Indexation:
Indexation is an optional feature offered in this plan. Under this feature, your premium and face amount will increase by a fixed amount every year leading to a better cash value accumulation and consequently a higher maturity benefit. Even once opted, you still have a right to decline the option and continue paying level premium subject to certain terms and conditions.
You are eligible for Smart Future Plan if you are 18-65 years of age. The term of the plan can be of any period from 10 years up to the age 85 years at maturity.
