2. Systematic Transfer Option (STO)

If you want to invest in equity oriented fund but worry about market volatility and risk associated with lump sum

investment, then you can opt for STO which enables you to enter the equity market in a systematic manner.

Through STO, your entire annual allocable Premium (after deduction of applicable charges) will be first allocated to

the Liquid Fund ('Source STO Fund') and then systematically transferred on a monthly basis into any one of the

Unit Linked Funds ('Target STO Fund') as chosen by you as per the below Table. While STO is operational, you are

not allowed to change your 'Target STO' Fund.

3. Return Protector Option (RPO)

This option enables you to take advantage of the equity market by protecting your gains from the future equity

market volatility. Through RPO, your entire Premium net of applicable charges is invested into any one of either

India Multi-Cap Equity Fund or Equity II Fund or Emerging Leaders Equity Fund, as opted by You ('RPO Fund') and

gains made from RPO Fund are automatically transferred to a lower risk Debt Fund. You can choose any fixed flat

target appreciation percentage in multiple of 1 within a range of 5% to 15% ('Target Appreciation') to decide on the

gains you wish to protect from further market volatility.

Once RPO is chosen, then starting from the 2 Policy Year onwards, the Fund Value in 'RPO Fund'' is tracked on

every business day against the 'Net Investment Amount' {the amount equal to Premium(s) paid less applicable

Source STO Fund Target STO Fund

Liquid Fund Equity II Fund or India Multi-Cap Equity Fund or Emerging Leaders Equity

Fund (You can choose only one Unit Linked Fund out of above three Unit

Linked Funds)

Under this option, during the Premium Payment Term, the Fund Value available in the Liquid Fund at the beginning

of each month (net of applicable charges) shall be switched to 'Target STO Fund' by cancelling units in the Liquid

Fund and purchasing units in the 'Target STO Fund' till the availability of units in the Liquid Fund, in the following

manner:

Policy Month Transfer of units from Liquid Fund

Policy Month 1: 1/12 of the units available at the beginning of Policy month 1

Policy Month 2: 1/11 of the units available at the beginning of Policy month 2

....................

Policy Month 6: 1/7 of the units available at the beginning of Policy month 6

....................

Policy Month 11: 1/2 of the units available at the beginning of Policy month 11

Policy Month 12: Balance units available at the beginning of Policy month 12

You can avail this option at inception or anytime later during the Policy Term. This option can be availed only on

annual Premium payment mode and will be active during the Premium Payment Term chosen by you provided due

Premium has been paid.

charges} in 'RPO Fund' as on date. In the event, where the gain from the 'RPO Fund' becomes equal to or more

than your 'Target Appreciation', then such gain will be transferred to the Debt Fund at the prevailing unit price. This

ensures that your gains are protected from any future equity market volatilities.

However, if the gain from 'RPO Fund' is less than your 'Target Appreciation', then the Fund Value will continue to

remain in the 'RPO Fund' and no automatic transfer to Debt Fund will happen.

You can choose the RPO at inception only. Once opted out, you cannot choose it again.

This Option only enables you to automatically shift your gains basis 'Target Appreciation' to low risk Debt Fund. The

'Target Appreciation' chosen by you does not in any way indicate the upper or lower limit of return earned on the

chosen RPO Fund. The actual return will depend upon the performance of the chosen RPO Fund and there could be

a possibility that "Target Appreciation" may not be achieved during the Policy Term.

4. Auto Funds Rebalancing (AFR)

If you wish to maintain allocation of your investments in a specific proportion across different Unit Linked Funds,

irrespective of market movements, you can do so through Auto Funds Rebalancing. Once opted, after every 3

months, it automatically rebalances the allocation of your investments in various Unit Linked Funds to the

allocation proportions chosen by you.

For example, if you wish to stay invested in the ratio of 50 : 25 : 25 in Equity II Fund, Balanced Plus Fund and Debt

Fund; then at the end of every 3 months starting from the date of commencement of Auto Funds Rebalancing, your

total Fund Value shall be rebalanced as per the chosen ratio of 50 : 25 : 25 in Equity II Fund, Balanced Plus Fund

and Debt Fund.

You can avail this option at inception or at any time later during the Policy Term.

5. Safety Switch Option (SSO)

As your Policy nears maturity, you may want to avoid market movements and safeguard your funds. The Safety

Switch Option enables you to move your funds systematically to a relatively low risk Liquid Fund at the beginning

of each of the last four Policy Years. The following table shows the proportion of investment in Liquid Fund and

other than Liquid Fund, for the last four Policy Years:

You can avail this option at inception or at any time later during the Policy Term except during the last 4 years of

the Policy.

Beginning of… Allocation in Liquid Fund Allocation in Unit Linked

Funds other than Liquid Fund

Fourth last Policy Year 30% 70%

Third last Policy Year 60% 40%

will be levied by the Company other than the Fund Management Charge applicable on the Discontinuance

Policy Fund.

B. Discontinuance of Premium after the Lock-in Period:

If the Premium is not received by the expiry of the Grace Period, the Company, within 15 days of the expiry of

the Grace Period, give a notice to You to exercise one of the following options in writing within 30 days of the

receipt of such notice (“Notice Period”):

i. Revive the Policy within a period of two years starting from the date of discontinuance of Premium;

ii. Complete withdrawal from the Policy without any risk cover; or

iii. Convert the Policy into Paid-up Policy, with the Paid-up Sum Assured i.e. Sum Assured multiplied

by total number of Premiums paid divided by the original number of Premiums payable. The Sum

Assured applicable for a Paid-up Policy shall be the Paid-up Sum Assured.

Until the expiry of Notice Period, the Policy is deemed to be in-force with benefits and applicable charges

continuing as per terms and conditions of the Policy.

If option as per B (ii) is exercised within the Notice Period, the Policy will be treated as surrendered and the

surrender provisions as elaborated earlier in Surrender section will be applicable. In case you do not

exercise any of the options within the Notice Period, the treatment of such Policy will be in accordance with

B (ii) above.

If option as per B (i) is exercised and you neither revive nor surrender the Policy, the Policy is deemed to be

in-force with risk cover and applicable charges continuing until the expiry of 2 years starting from the date

of discontinuance of Premium or end of Policy Term whichever is earlier. The Fund Value of the Policy, as

applicable, will be paid at the end of the Revival Period or at the end of the Policy Term, whichever is earlier

and the Policy will terminate upon such payment.

If option as per B (iii) is exercised, the Policy will continue in Paid-up state till the end of the Policy Term

without any further Premiums payable subject to deduction of applicable charges, unless it is revived.

8. Revival: In case due Premiums are not paid before end of the Notice Period, you can apply for revival of the

Policy by paying all due and unpaid Premiums, within the Revival Period. The Company reserves the right to

revive the Policy either on its original or modified terms and conditions or reject the revival as per its

Underwriting decision.

Revival Period: It means a period of 2 consecutive years from the date of Discontinuance of the Policy,

during which period you will be entitled to revive the Policy which was discontinued due to the non-payment

of Premium.

The Policy shall be revived subject to the conditions mentioned below:

• A Policy can be revived any time before the end of the Policy Term and within the

• Revival period of 2 years for a Policy discontinued before Lock in period and

• expiry of 2 years period from the date of discontinuance of Premium for a Policy discontinued after

Lock-in period.

• Revival shall be subject to Underwriting as per Company’s Board Approved Underwriting Policy.

• The revival of the Policy will be effective only after Company’s approval is communicated.

Revival of a discontinued Policy during the Lock-in Period:

If you choose to revive the discontinued Policy, the Policy can be revived by restoring the risk cover along with

the investments made in the Unit Linked Funds as chosen by you, out of the Discontinued Policy Fund, less the

applicable charges.

At the time of revival, the Company shall:

• collect all due and unpaid Premiums without charging any interest or fee.

• levy Premium allocation charges and Policy administration charge as applicable during the discontinuance

period.

• add back to the Fund Value, the discontinuance charges deducted at the time of discontinuance of

the Policy.

• reinstate all the benefits as per terms and conditions of the Policy subject to Underwriting.

Revival of a discontinued Policy or Paid-up Policy after the Lock-in Period:

If you choose to revive the discontinued Policy or wish to revive the Paid-up Policy, the Policy can be revived in

accordance with the terms and conditions of the Policy. At the time of revival, the Company shall:

• collect all due and unpaid Premiums without charging any interest or fee.

• levy Premium allocation charge as applicable during the discontinuance period.

• reinstate all benefits as per the terms and conditions of the Policy subject to Underwriting.

9. Systematic Transfer Option (STO): You can avail this option at inception or at any Policy anniversary through a

request at least 30 days before the Policy anniversary. Once request is accepted, the STO shall be effective

from the Policy anniversary immediately following such request. STO cannot be opted once all Premiums

payable under the Policy have been paid. You can opt out of the STO at any time during the Policy Term by

giving us the request which shall be effective from next monthly Policy anniversary immediately following

such request. STO cannot be chosen simultaneously with either RPO or AFR except SSO. If You have opted for

SSO then during the last 4 Policy Years, STO will cease and SSO will become operational. You can do switching

among the Unit Linked Funds other than STO Funds (Liquid Fund and either of India Multi-Cap Equity Fund or

Equity II Fund or Emerging Leaders Equity Fund). However while STO is operational, switching into or from

any of the STO Funds will make STO ineffective. Also Partial withdrawals from Liquid Fund will make STO

ineffective. The automatic switches during the operation of the STO from Source STO Fund to the Target STO

Fund will not be counted as switch.

In case the due Premium is not received before the expiry of the Notice Period, STO will cease to continue. The

Premium received after the due date but before the expiry of Notice Period will be allocated to 'Source STO

Fund' and thereafter from the following monthly anniversary, monthly transfer will happen in the same

manner as stated under STO feature above for the remaining months in a Policy Year. If due Premium is not

received during the Notice Period, STO will cease to be operational. The Premiums received after the expiry of

Notice Period will be allocated entirely to the chosen 'Target STO Fund' (either of India Multi-Cap Equity Fund

or Equity II Fund or Emerging Leaders Equity Fund) unless otherwise specified by You. If you choose this

option later in the Policy Term, then any amount remaining in other than STO Funds will continue to remain

invested in those Unit Linked Funds. If you give the request for Premium redirection or to change to monthly

Premium payment mode, then such request will make STO ineffective. Once STO ceases to exist, your future

Premiums will continue to be invested in chosen 'Target STO Fund' unless otherwise specified by you.

10. Return Protector Option (RPO): RPO cannot be chosen simultaneously with either STO or AFR except SSO. If

You have opted for SSO then during the last 4 Policy Years, RPO will cease and SSO will become operational.

While RPO is operational, request for Premium redirection, partial withdrawal or switching will make RPO

ineffective. If you opt out of RPO or RPO ceases to exist, all Your future Premiums will continue to be invested

into chosen 'RPO Fund' (either of India Multi-Cap Equity Fund or Equity II Fund or Emerging Leaders Equity

Fund) unless otherwise specified by You and you cannot re-opt for it again during the Policy Term. RPO will not

be applicable once the Policy moves into Discontinuance before the end of Lock-in Period. However RPO will

automatically become operational on revival of the Policy. RPO will continue to be active during Paid-up state

or where the Policy is within its Revival Period (i.e. 2 years from the date of discontinuance of the Premium)

due to non-payment of Premium after the end of Lock-in Period. The automatic switches into Debt Fund from

'RPO Fund' during the operation of the RPO will not be counted as switches. There could be a situation beyond

control of the Company where realization of gain and switching of the gains into Debt Fund may not be

possible and for that Company would not liable to pay any compensation.

11. Auto Funds Rebalancing (AFR): AFR cannot be chosen simultaneously with either RPO or STO except SSO. If

You have opted for SSO then during the last 4 Policy Years, AFR will cease and SSO will become operational.

While AFR is operational, request for Premium redirection or switching will make AFR ineffective. In case of

partial withdrawal, the AFR will be applicable on the balance of the Fund Value remaining in the Policy after

withdrawal. Once AFR is operational your Premium(s) will continue to be invested into the same proportions

as chosen by You while opting in for AFR. AFR will not be applicable once the Policy moves into Discontinuance

before the end of Lock-in Period. However AFR will automatically become operational on revival of the Policy.

Premium(s) paid for revival of Policy will be invested in the same proportions as chosen by You while opting in

for AFR. AFR will continue to be active during Paid-up state or where the Policy is within its Revival Period (i.e.

2 years from the date of discontinuance of the Premium) due to non-payment of Premium after the end of

Lock-in Period. The automatic switches in order to affect the auto rebalancing into the chosen allocation

proportions will not be counted as switch.

12. Safety Switch Option (SSO): You can choose this option simultaneously with either of RPO or STO or AFR. If

You have opted for SSO then during the last 4 Policy Years, RPO or STO or AFR if operational will cease and SSO

will become operational. In case of partial withdrawal, the SSO will be applicable on the balance of the Fund

Value remaining in the Policy after withdrawal. In case SSO is chosen and operational then SSO will become

ineffective once the request for redirection is made. However, if SSO is opted but not operational, redirection

can be exercised without impacting SSO. Switching is allowed among the Unit Linked Funds other than Liquid

Fund. Switching in or out of the Liquid Fund will cause the SSO to cease. However, the automatic switches in

order to effect the SSO will not be counted as switch.

13. If the Safety Switch Option (SSO) is opted but not operational, switching can be exercised without impacting

SSO. You can opt out of SSO even in the last 4 Policy Years.

The total Fund Value (including the amounts in Liquid Fund and in other Unit Linked Funds) will be rebalanced

four times at yearly intervals only at the beginning of each of the last 4 Policy Years, such that the proportion of

Unit Linked Funds is as mentioned in the table given earlier under Safety Switch Option Section. Therefore,

the Unit Linked Funds in the “other than Liquid Fund” category will remain in the same proportion both before

and after the exercise of Safety Switch Option.

14. Settlement Option: You can opt for this option any time at least 3 months before the end of the Policy Term.

You can choose Monthly, Quarterly, Half yearly or Yearly frequency for installment payouts. All investment

risk related to NAV movements will be borne by you. The first installment will start from the date of maturity

and units from the applicable Unit Linked Funds will be cancelled at the time of installment payouts. There

are no charges other than Fund Management Charges during the settlement period. Switching and Partial

withdrawal will not be available during this period. In case of death of the Life Assured during the settlement

period, the remaining Fund Value as on the date of registration of death claim will be paid to the Claimant. No

Fund Management Options will be available during Settlement period.

15. You can increase or decrease your Sum Assured starting from the 6 Policy Year onwards provided due

Premiums have been paid. The request for any alteration in Sum Assured will be effective only from the Policy

anniversary following the date on which you have made your request, subject to such request being made at

least 60 days prior to the Policy anniversary. This flexibility is available to you once every Policy Year subject to

a maximum of three times during the Policy Term. Option to increase the Sum Assured is not available where

the Life Assured is minor or above 50 years of age. Increase/decrease in Sum Assured is subject to

Underwriting acceptance and minimum and maximum Sum Assured limits stipulated under this plan.

16. Risk commencement date under this plan will be the date of Underwriting acceptance subject to realization of

Premium. The date of commencement of Policy is the same as the risk commencement date under this plan.

17. The Sum at Risk (SAR) on a given date for computing mortality charges is calculated as follows:

SAR for Life Assured before the Age of 60 years: Higher of

i. Sum Assured less Partial Withdrawals in the preceding 2 years less Fund Value as on that date ,or

ii. 105% of Premiums paid less Fund Value or

iii. Zero

SAR for Life Assured for the age of 60 years and above: Higher of

i. Sum Assured less Partial Withdrawals post attaining age of 58 less Fund Value as on that date, or

ii. 105% of Premium paid less Fund Value, or

18. Suicide exclusion: In case of death due to suicide within 12 months from the date of commencement of the

Policy or date of revival of the Policy, the Claimant shall be entitled to Fund Value as available on the date of

death. Also any charges recovered subsequent to the date of death shall be paid back to Claimant along with

the Fund Value as on the date of death.

19. During the Lock-in Period, if death happens after the Policy has been surrendered, the Proceeds of the

Discontinued Policy Fund as on the date of registration of death claim shall be payable.

20. The term ‘claimant’ in this Sales Literature means the Policyholder, however for the purposes of payment of

death benefit Claimant means the following person(s) :

(i) Where the Policyholder and Life Assured are different, Claimant shall be the Policyholder,

(ii) Where Policyholder and Life Assured are same, Claimant shall be the Nominee (s) ,

(iii) Where Policyholder and Life Assured are same and there is no Nominee(s), then Claimant shall be the

Policyholder’s legal heir or legal representative or the holder of a succession certificate.

21. The minimum partial withdrawal amount is `10,000 and the maximum is such that the Fund Value

immediately after withdrawal does not fall below 120% of the Annualized Premium. The cap on maximum

partial withdrawal has been kept with the view to avoid those partial withdrawals which would result in

immediate termination of the Policy. If the Life Assured is a minor, partial withdrawals will be allowed when the

minor Life Assured attains majority, i.e. on or after attainment of 18 years of age.

22. Change in Premium Payment Term: The change in Premium Payment Term will be available only once during a

Policy Year subject to maximum of 2 times during the entire Policy Term and will always be in multiples of one

year. Alteration in Premium Payment Term should not result in change in Premium Amount or Policy Term but

may result in decrease in Sum Assured. For increase in the Premium Payment Term, all due Premiums should

be paid. You cannot change Premium Payment Term if Your Policy is in Paid-up state. However, You can give

request for alteration post revival of a Paid-up Policy subject to conditions stated above. For specific
