The surrender value of simple reversionary bonuses will also be payable (if applicable). This is equal to the vested bonuses, multiplied by the applicable surrender value factor.

Special Surrender Value will be paid out to the life insured on surrendering the policy if the special surrender value is higher than the guaranteed surrender value. This will be the discounted value of the sum of the vested simple reversionary bonuses and the maturity paid-up sum assured.

Loans

  1. A loan can be taken against the policy if the premiums for the policy have been paid up for 3 full years.
  2. The maximum loan that can be availed is 90% of the surrender value for in-force policies.
