PNB Met Suraksha-Term Assurance with Return of Premium (TROP)

Objective

This is a return-of-premium policy that aims to provide financial assistance on unfortunate demise of the insured person.

What does it do?

This policy can pay death benefit on death of the insured or refund entire basic premium paid along with guaranteed additions on survival at the end of policy tenure. The guaranteed additions are equal to 10 per cent of premiums (including policy fee) paid (and excluding extra premiums and rider premiums).
The policy will not lapse in case the policyholder fails to pay premium for any reason. It will continue with a reduced paid-up value, provided premiums for first 3 policy years were paid regularly. The reduced paid-up value is calculated using following formula:
(Number of premiums paid/ Total number of premiums payable) x Face amount
It also guarantees a surrender value if the policyholder does not wish to continue with the policy.

Pros

Riders are available for additional protection.
The policy provides guaranteed additions of 10 per cent of premiums paid (excluding rider premium) at maturity.
The policy offers a long reinstatement period of 3 years, unlike 2 in most plans. There is also a guaranteed surrender value.
Premiums paid towards this policy qualify for tax deduction under Section 80C.

Cons

Riders can be taken only at the time of purchase and not during the policy term.

Suited for

This policy can be taken by those who are not satisfied with pure risk insurance and would like to receive some part of premiums on survival.

Our View

Return-of-premium policies are relatively expensive as compared to simple term insurance policies that do not offer anything on survival. Before buying any life insurance policy, evaluate your needs and do not consider multiple benefits offered by any policy, until you need them.

In case, you are not satisfied, you may choose to cancel the policy within 15 days of receiving the policy documents. Upon such cancellation, you will be paid back the premiums, minus the cost of stamp duty, medical reports and proportionate premium for the period for which the risk was covered.

Grace Period

You are allowed to pay premiums within 30 days of premium due date. If a due premium is not received within the grace period, your policy will lapse and the life insurance cover will be terminated.

Lapsed Policy Reinstatement

You may reinstate your lapsed policy within 3 years from date of first unpaid premium by paying due premiums and undergoing underwriting requirements, if any.

Tax Benefits

Section 80C, 10(10D) of the Income Tax Act, 1961 would apply. Premiums paid for Critical Illness Rider may qualify for deduction under Section 80D of the Income Tax Act, 1961.

Exclusions

In case of death by suicide during the first policy year, or within one year from the date of reinstatement, no death benefit is payable. 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

Paid Up Value

If policyholder due to any reason fails to pay premium, the policy does not lapse. It continues at ' Reduced Paid up Value' provided premiums for first three policy years have been paid on time. Reduced Paid Up Value = (No. of premiums paid / Total no. of premiums payable) x face amount.
