Multiple Fund Option:
Under this option, you have the facility to select a mix of two unit-linked funds of the plan. Total premiums under your policy will be allowed to be distributed among the funds in multiples of 10%. This means that the fund split can be 90/10, 80/20, 70/30, 60/40, or 50/50. *EFU Guaranteed Growth Fund will be selected by default.
Benefits:
Continuation Benefit:
In the unfortunate event of the death of the assured parent during the savings term, a built-in Continuation Benefit ensures that the targeted fund is achieved at the maturity of the plan. EFU Life will continue to make the remaining unpaid basic premium towards the plan so that the investment is not discontinued. This ensures that the required funds are available for the child’s marriage even in the parent’s absence.
Enhancement Bonus:
In the 16 years, EFU Life will add an Enhancement Bonus to the plan equal to 15% of the average basic plan premium paid.
Child Support Bonus:
The plan provides valuable Child Support bonuses during the plan’s term to boost fund accumulation. The bonus is allocated, as a percentage of the average Basic Plan contribution paid, in the 11th, 16th, and 21st years of the policy, provided the plan is continued without any breaks. The extra unit allocation is as follows:
| Policy Year | Extra Unit Allocation % |
|---|---|
| 11 | 20 |
| 16 | 30 |
| 21 | 40 |
Maturity Benefit:
At maturity, the plan provides the accumulated fund value, which can be taken in a lump sum. If funds are not required immediately for marriage, the amount can be left to accumulate with EFU Life for a maximum period of one year. At the end of the one-year period, EFU Life will pay the accumulated value and a “Maturity Investment Bonus” of 20% of the annual average premium.
Optional Benefits:
To customize the plan according to the needs of individual customers, several additional benefit riders are available which can be attached to the plan:
- Accidental Death Benefit:
In case of the accidental death of the life assured, this rider provides an additional lump sum benefit. - Accidental Death and Disability Plus Benefit:
This rider provides an additional lump sum benefit in case of an accidental death or disability (permanent & total) that makes you permanently disabled. - Additional Term Assurance: This rider increases the level of life cover by providing an additional amount in the range of 50% to 200% of the Main Plan Sum Assured, in case of the death of the Life Assured.
- Income Benefit:
In the unfortunate event of the death of the policyholder/life assured, this additional benefit will provide a quarterly income to your dependents to maintain a decent lifestyle. - Waiver of Premium:
In case the life assured is unable to follow any occupation due to sickness or accident, the premium would be paid by EFU Life.
*Any one accidental rider can be selected.
Unit Allocation
The proportion of premium for investment in units varies by policy year and is as follows.
| Policy Year | Unit Allocation % | Allocation Charges* |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 60% | 40% |
| 2 | 80% | 20% |
| 3 | 90% | 10% |
| 4 – Onwards | 100% + Applicable Bonus | 0% |
*Allocation charges will be deducted from the Paid Premium every year as per the above table and the remainder will be allocated to the account value.
Fund Acceleration Premium (FAP):
The plan gives the flexibility to top-up the savings by depositing surplus funds as a lump sum premium called “Fund Acceleration Premium” (FAP). Payments can be made at any time during the policy term to increase the cash value of the plan. Individuals can park their excess cash into the plan through FAP and enjoy the investment returns from the selected fund. The combination of regular savings and occasional lump sum premium provides the much-needed financial freedom to save according to one’s convenience. The minimum payment of FAP is Rs. 24,000.
100% of FAP payments are allocated to purchase units in the selected fund.
Access to Savings at All Times:
The plan provides complete access to the accumulated fund value at all times. After the premiums have been paid for two full years, the fund can be withdrawn for its full or partial value.
Complete Surrender:
The customer has the right to encash all the units in their fund. In such an event, the units will be encashed at the current bid price, and the plan will be cancelled.
Indexation:
Under this option, the regular premium will increase every year by 5% of the prior year’s premium until the age of 55 years, without any medical evidence.
