1. Revival:

If premiums are not paid within the grace period then the policy will lapse. A lapsed policy can be revived within a period of 2 consecutive years from the date of first unpaid premium and before the date of maturity, as the case may be by paying all the arrears of premium together with interest (compounding half-yearly) at such rate as fixed by the Corporation at the time of the payment, subject to submission of satisfactory evidence of continued insurability.
Revival of Accident Benefit rider, if opted for, will be considered along with revival of the Basic Policy, and not in isolation.

1. Paid-up Value:

If at least three full years’ premiums have been paid and any subsequent premiums be not duly paid, this policy shall not be wholly void, but shall continue as a paid-up policy. The Basic Sum Assured under the policy shall be reduced to such a sum, called Paid-up Sum Assured and shall bear the same ratio to the Basic Sum Assured as the no. of premiums paid bears to the total number of premiums i.e. Basic Sum Assured *(no. of premiums paid / no. of premiums payable).
This Paid-Up Sum Assured is payable on expiry of the policy term or on Life Assured’s prior death.
Accident Benefit Rider does not acquire any paid-up value and the rider benefits cease to apply, if policy is in lapsed condition.

1. Surrender Value:

The policy can be surrendered for cash provided atleast three full years’ premiums have been paid. The Guaranteed Surrender Value shall be a percentage of total premiums paid (net of service tax) excluding extra premiums and premiums for Accident Benefit rider, if opted for. This percentage will depend on the policy term and policy year in which the policy is surrendered and specified as below: 

Corporation may, however, pay Special Surrender value, if it is more favorable to the Policyholder.

1. Policy Loan:

Loan can be availed under the policy provided the policy has acquired a surrender value and subject to the terms and conditions as the Corporation may specify from time to time.

1.  Taxes: 

Taxes including Service Tax, if any, shall be as per the Tax laws and the rate of tax shall be as applicable from time to time.
The amount of tax as per the prevailing rates shall be payable by the Policyholder on premiums including extra premiums, if any. The amount of tax paid shall not be considered for the calculation of benefits payable under the plan.

1. Cooling-off period:

If the Policyholder is not satisfied with the “Terms and Conditions” of the policy, the policy may be returned to the Corporation within 15 days from the date of receipt of the policy bond stating the reasons of objection. On receipt of the same the Corporation shall cancel the policy and return the amount of premium deposited after deducting the proportionate risk premium (for basic plan and Accident Benefit rider, if any) for the period on cover and stamp duty charges.

1. Exclusion:

Suicide: - This policy shall be void

1. If the Life Assured (whether sane or insane) commits suicide at any time within 12 months from the date of commencement of risk and the Corporation will not entertain any claim under this policy except to the extent of 80% of the premiums paid excluding any taxes, extra premium and Accident Benefit rider premium, if any, provided the policy is inforce.

If the Life Assured (whether sane or insane) commits suicide within 12 months from date of revival, an amount which is higher of 80% of the premiums paid till the date of death (excluding any taxes, extra premium and Accident Benefit rider premium, if any,) or the surrender value, shall be payable. The Corporation will not entertain any other claim under this policy.
