Aviva LifeShield Advantage

 

Objective

This term insurance plan provides maturity benefit to policyholders who survive the term of the plan. There are two variants available with this plan- Only Life Protection and Life-cum-Disability Protection.

What does it do?

This term plan will give out maturity benefit to policyholders equivalent to premiums paid excluding rider premiums, taxes and any extra premium paid. However, the policy does not pay out interest on the premiums paid.
The dreaded disease rider available with this plan can be availed only when making regular premium payments and not with a single premium option.

Pros

Dreaded disease rider is available only with Life Protection plan and covers 18 diseases.
Policies with Sum Assured higher than Rs 3 lakh with a tenure over ten years can avail rebate on premiums. The policy attains a surrender value after being in force for three years.
The premiums paid qualifies for tax deduction under Section 80C up to Rs 1 lakh.

Cons

There are no premium discounts for women.
The upper limit on the sum assured at Rs 50 lakh limits the scope of cover.

Suited for

This policy is suitable for those not convinced with the idea of paying premium without getting any return.

Our View

The Dreaded disease rider is a valuable one and qualifies for tax deductions under Section 80D. It terminates automatically when the policyholder contracts any of the 18 listed diseases.
Considering the rising healthcare costs, this rider could supplement an existing plain health insurance plan.
The option to return premium on survival is more of a marketing gimmick than value proposition and makes the policy an expensive one against the plain risk cover offered by the same insurer.
Although, the premium paid is returned on survival, it comes without any interest. Then, the amount received will not look meaningful as the time value of your money would have reduced a great deal.

Further, if the Life Assured under the policy, whether medically sane or insane, commits suicide, within one year of exercising the option to increase the Sum Assured, then the amount of increased Sum Assured will not be considered in the calculation of the Death Benefit
