How does this Plan work?
The premium contributed by you net of Premium Allocation Charges and Miscellaneous Charge is invested in fund option of your choice for a specified period of time as selected by you and units are allocated depending on the price of units for the fund/funds. The Fund Value is the total value of units that you hold in the fund. The Policy has a minimum Guaranteed Fund Value which is equal to total of all premiums paid (excluding any additional and extra premiums if any), to be payable on survival to maturity or earlier death. The amount of top-up premiums paid is also guaranteed on death provided there is no partial withdrawal. The amount of top-ups premium is guaranteed on maturity provided the top-ups premium was paid at least 10 years before the date of maturity and there is no partial withdrawal. The Sum Assured under the Policy is fixed on the basis of the selected annual premium and Policy Term.

The Mortality Charges and Policy Administration Charges are deducted through cancellation of units whereas the Fund Management Charge is priced in the Unit Value. The premiums for riders, if selected, are payable over and above the premium for the basic Policy.

Whilst, every attempt would be made to attain target levels prescribed above, it may not be possible to maintain the prescribed �target� at all times owing to market volatility, availability of market volumes and other related factors

The �target� may be attained on a �best effort� basis. However the Asset Allocation will always fall within the Asset Allocation Range mentioned in respect of each fund.

Unit pricing & Cut-off Timings
Value of Units: The computation of Unit Value will be based on whether the Company is purchasing (Appropriation Price) or selling (Expropriation Price) the Assets in order to meet the day to day transactions of Unit Allocations and Unit Redemptions i.e. the Company shall be required to sell/purchase the Assets if Unit Redemptions/Allocations exceed Unit Allocations/Redemptions at the Valuation Date.

The Unit Price of each Fund will be the Unit Value calculated on a daily basis.

Unit Value =

Total Market Value of Assets Plus(less) expenses incurred in the purchase (sale) of Assets plus Current Assets plus any accrued income net of Fund Management Charges less Current Liabilities less Provision

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Total Number of units on issue (before any new units are allocated(redeemed))

Cut-off Timings

  1. Uniform cut-off timings for applicability of Net Asset Value: The allotment of units to the Policyholder should be done only after the receipt of premium proceeds as stated below:

  2. Allocations (premium allocations, switch in): In case of new business, units shall be allocated on the day proposal is completed and results into a Policy by adjustment of application money towards premium.

In the case of renewal premiums, the premium will be adjusted on the due date, whether or not it has been received in advance. (This assumes that the full stipulated premium is received on the due date.) Renewal premiums received in advance will be kept in the deposit account and will not earn any returns until the renewal premium due date on which the same will be applied to the Unit Funds.

  1. In respect of renewal premiums/funds switched received up to 4.15 p.m. by the Insurer along with a local cheque or a demand draft payable at par at the place where the premium is received, the closing NAV of the day on which premium is received shall be applicable.

  2. In respect of renewal premiums/funds switched received after 4.15 p.m. by the Insurer along with a local cheque or a demand draft payable at par at the place where the premium is received, the closing NAV of the next business day shall be applicable.

  3. In respect of renewal premiums received with outstation cheques/ demand drafts at the place where the premium is received, the closing NAV of the day on which cheques/demand draft is realized shall be applicable.

  4. For advance renewal premium the closing NAV of the due date is applicable.

Any amount less than the due stipulated regular/limited premium payable stated in the Contract will not be accepted.

  1. Redemptions:

    1. In respect of valid applications received (e.g. surrender, maturity claim, switch out etc) up to 4.15 p.m. by the Insurer, the same day's closing NAV shall be applicable.

    2. In respect of valid applications received (e.g. surrender, maturity claim, switch etc) after 4.15 p.m. by the Insurer, the closing NAV of the next business day shall be applicable.

Fund Valuation
The value of the fund will be equal to the no of units multiplied by the Net Asset Value (NAV) of each unit in the fund.

The computation of NAV will be based on whether the Company is purchasing (Appropriation Price) or selling (Expropriation Price) the Assets in order to meet the day to day transactions of Unit Allocations and Unit Redemptions i.e. the Company shall be required to sell/purchase the Assets if Unit Redemptions/Allocations exceed Unit Allocations/Redemptions at the Valuation Date.

The Appropriation Price shall apply in a situation when the Company is required to purchase the Assets to allocate the units at the Valuation Date. This shall be the amount of money that the Company should put into the fund in respect of each unit it allocates in order to preserve the interests of the existing Policyholders

The Expropriation Price shall apply in a situation when the Company is required to sell Assets to redeem the units at the Valuation Date. This shall be the amount of money that the Company should take out of the fund in respect of each unit it cancels in order to preserve the interests of the continuing Policyholders

Computation of Net Asset Value (NAV):
When Appropriation Price is applied: The NAV for a particular fund shall be computed as: Market Value of investment held by the fund plus the expenses incurred in the purchase of the Assets plus the value of any Current Assets plus any Accrued Income net of Fund Management Charges less the value of any Current Liabilities less Provisions, if any. This gives the net Asset value of the fund. Dividing by the number of units existing at the Valuation Date (before any new units are allocated), gives the Unit Price of the fund under consideration.

When Expropriation Price is applied: The NAV for a particular fund shall be computed as: Market Value of investment held by the fund less the expenses incurred in the sale of the Assets plus the value of any Current Assets plus any Accrued Income net of Fund Management Charges less the value of any Current Liabilities less provisions, if any. This gives the Net Asset Value of the fund. Dividing by the number of units existing at the Valuation Date (before any units are redeemed), gives the Unit Price of the fund under consideration.

In case the valuation day falls on a holiday, then the exercise will be done the following working day.

The Company reserves the right to suspend unit pricing if it is not possible to value some or all of the Assets of a Unit Linked Fund because of closure of stock exchanges or investment markets for the duration of these conditions.
