<strong>Money</strong> <strong>Back</strong> <strong>Plus</strong><br />

Offers guaranteed amount, liquidity<br />

and an option to earn more


THE POWER OF GROWTH AND LIQUIDITY WITH ASSURANCE<br />

Your family comes first for you and so does their future. Your dreams for your family<br />

require strong financial planning. Your savings today may not be enough to power<br />

those dreams of tomorrow. Have you consider the risks associated with:<br />

• Increasing costs of living: At an average inflation rate of 8% in twenty years, a<br />

litre of milk will cost Rs. 100, an overnight train journey will cost Rs. 800, a meal<br />

for two at your local restaurant will cost Rs. 1200 and a medical check up may<br />

cost Rs. 5000.<br />

• Starting late with your savings plan: The difference between starting now and<br />

starting 5 years later could be as high as 60% more per year. This is assuming<br />

planning for 20 years vis-à-vis 15 years at an interest rate assumption of 6%.<br />

• Not financially securing your plan early: With urban nuclear families replacing<br />

joint families, the social security network requires stronger financial support to<br />

cover for uncertainties of life to ensure that your family continues to live your dreams<br />

even without you.<br />

• Not being able to access your own funds: Many savings instruments lock in<br />

your savings for a long period of time, making it difficult for you to access your own<br />

monies. So while you may have a strong future plan, you might not be able to<br />

access your funds, if and when required.


Thankfully, with <strong>BSLI</strong> <strong>Money</strong> <strong>Back</strong> <strong>Plus</strong> <strong>Plan</strong>, you won't have to worry ever again.<br />

<strong>BSLI</strong> <strong>Money</strong> <strong>Back</strong> <strong>Plus</strong> <strong>Plan</strong>, a non-participating endowment plan, offers you the<br />

Power of Guarantee with Safety and Liquidity.<br />

THE <strong>BSLI</strong> MONEY BACK PLUS PLAN OFFERS<br />

• Growth and Liquidity: The plan offers you a chance to earn survival benefit at the<br />

rd<br />

end of every policy year from the 3 year onwards. The survival benefit can be<br />

withdrawn by you or can be used to pay the premium dues.<br />

• Assurance on Maturity: At maturity, your policy returns you an amount equal to<br />

your Guaranteed Maturity Benefit, plus your survival benefits. The Guaranteed<br />

Maturity Benefit is based on your current age and the policy term and is greater<br />

than all base premiums paid. The younger you are and the longer you stay, the<br />

higher is the guarantee.<br />

• Increasing Safety: Every policy anniversary, as a mark of loyalty, the plan increases<br />

your existing cover by an amount equal to the annual base premium. As a result,<br />

your cover increases with successive year, thus offering you increasing safety.<br />

We believe that, as a discerning customer, you deserve to get the best out of every<br />

saving plan and we are happy to bring you <strong>BSLI</strong> <strong>Money</strong> <strong>Back</strong> <strong>Plus</strong> <strong>Plan</strong> which comes<br />

with benefits never offered before.<br />

IS <strong>BSLI</strong> MONEY BACK PLUS PLAN RIGHT FOR YOU?<br />

This plan has been designed for you if you are:<br />

• 60 years of age or younger. The plan cannot be sold to less than 30 days old babies.<br />

• Looking to invest for more than 10 years. The maximum term for this product is<br />

(70 minus your current age) subject to a maximum of 40 years.<br />

• Looking to invest at least Rs. 9600 per annum. While there are no limits on the<br />

amount you can invest in this plan, you can choose your annual base premiums<br />

only in multiples of Rs. 1200 per annum over the minimum premium of Rs. 9600.<br />

PREMIUMS AND SURVIVAL BENEFIT BANDS<br />

The survival benefit under <strong>BSLI</strong> <strong>Money</strong> <strong>Back</strong> <strong>Plus</strong> <strong>Plan</strong> is linked to your annual base<br />

premiums, and is categorized in 3 bands, as follows:<br />

Survival Benefit Annual Base Premium Range Survival Benefit<br />

Band 1 Rs. 9,600 - Rs. 18,000 Base Survival Benefit<br />

Band 2 Rs. 19,200 - Rs. 37,200 5% extra over Base Survival Benefit<br />

Band 3 Rs. 38,400 onwards 7% extra over Base Survival Benefit<br />

Please note that you may choose to pay any premium in multiples of Rs.1200 per<br />

annum over a minimum annual base premium of Rs. 9600. You may also choose to<br />

pay your premiums annually, half yearly, quarterly or monthly, as per your convenience.<br />

Your annual premium will be multiplied by 0.510, 0.258 or 0.087 in case you opt for<br />

paying it half yearly, quarterly or monthly, respectively.


Service Tax & Education Cess and any other applicable taxes will be added to your<br />

premium and levied as per the extant tax laws.<br />

GROWTH & LIQUIDITY – THE POWER OF SURVIVAL BENEFITS<br />

rd<br />

At the end of every policy year starting from the 3 year, you will earn a survival benefit<br />

calculated as your total base premiums paid till date multiplied by:<br />

• 5.00% + 60% of any excess of the GSec rate over 7.50%; or<br />

• 5.00% – 75% of any excess of the 7.50% over the GSec rate<br />

At the beginning of each policy year, your policy will be assigned the latest GSec rate<br />

declared by us, and your year-end survival benefit will be based on this GSec rate,<br />

irrespective of any change in interest rates during the policy year.<br />

We will declare the GSec rate at the beginning of each calendar quarter (the 1st of<br />

January, April, July and October) and it will equal the average of the daily 10-year<br />

Constant Maturity Treasury annual yields, as calculated by Bloomberg, recorded over<br />

the last calendar quarter.<br />

Your survival benefit is based on the prevailing 10-year Government of India Security<br />

at the beginning of the policy year. You will enjoy 60% of any upside interest movement<br />

and be protected on the downside by having your survival benefit reduced by only<br />

75% of the downside interest movement. For example:<br />

GSec Rate Downside/Upside Adjustment Survival Benefit Rate<br />

7.50% — 5.00%<br />

5.50% - 75% x 2.00% = - 1.50% 3.50%<br />

9.50% + 60% x 2.00% = + 1.20% 6.20%<br />

Your survival benefit will be increased by 5% or 7% at higher premiums as per the<br />

Survival Benefit Bands.<br />

The survival benefit will be calculated at the end of every policy year and credited<br />

to your policy's accumulated survival benefits. The accumulated survival benefits<br />

balance are available for you to:<br />

• Make cash withdrawals, subject to a minimum of Rs. 5000<br />

• Offset future premiums, provided your accumulated survival benefits are higher<br />

than your annual premium<br />

Any accumulated survival benefits will be payable on maturity, surrender or death.


Guaranteed<br />

Maturity<br />

Benefit<br />

YOUR PREMIUMS ASSURED – THE POWER<br />

OF GUARANTEED MATURITY BENEFIT<br />

At your policy maturity, you will receive an amount equal to the Guaranteed Maturity<br />

Benefit PLUS your accumulated survival benefits. The Guaranteed Maturity Benefit<br />

(GMB) is linked to your age at entry and the policy term. To reiterate, the GMB is higher<br />

for lower age and higher policy terms. Needless to say, you should start now and save<br />

for as long as you can. Please refer to the table below for a sample of Guaranteed<br />

Maturity Benefit per Rs. 1200 annual base premium:<br />

Guaranteed<br />

Death<br />

Benefit<br />

SAFETY OF YOUR DREAMS – THE POWER<br />

OF INCREASING LIFE COVER<br />

The minimum life cover in this plan is ten times the annual base premium. However, in<br />

this policy, on every policy anniversary, your life cover will be increased by an amount<br />

equal to your annual base premium.<br />

In case of the unfortunate event of death of the life insured, we will pay your nominee<br />

an amount equal to 10 times your annual base premium and all base premiums paid<br />

till date (excluding the first year premium) PLUS all accumulated survival benefits.<br />

Guaranteed<br />

Surrender<br />

Benefit<br />

PREPONEMENT OF MATURITY AND<br />

SURRENDER OF BENEFITS<br />

• Preponement of Maturity<br />

In the unfortunate situation that you need to prepone your maturity, you will receive


your Guaranteed Maturity Benefit minus Early Maturity Adjustment PLUS your<br />

accumulated survival benefits.<br />

This early maturity adjustment is equal to 1.2% for each year by which you want to<br />

advance the maturity. There will be no deduction for early maturity after you have<br />

completed 20 policy years.<br />

You cannot prepone your policy's maturity if your policy hasn't completed ten years.<br />

Example: If a 25-year policy is needed to be preponed to 15 years. Your guaranteed<br />

maturity amount will correspond to 15 years (not 25 years).<br />

The early maturity adjustment of 1.2% will be applied on 5 years only as after 20 years<br />

there is no such deduction made i.e. 1.2 % (20-15 years). This amounts to a deduction<br />

of 6% from your guaranteed maturity amount.<br />

Thus, you stand to receive 94% of Guaranteed Maturity Benefit corresponding to<br />

15 years.<br />

• Surrender Benefits<br />

In the unfortunate situation that you have to surrender your policy before completion<br />

of 10 policy years, you will receive all base premiums paid by you multiplied by<br />

a percentage as indicated below PLUS accumulated survival benefits<br />

Policy Year of Surrender<br />

0% 25% 30% 35% 45% 55% 65% 75% 85%<br />

Policy will acquire a surrender benefit only if premiums for full 3 years are paid.<br />

There is a detailed illustration on the last page of the brochure which you may refer<br />

for ease of understanding.


OTHER QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY HAVE<br />

Is there an extra benefit that I receive in case an accident occurs?<br />

Yes, you have an option of Accidental Death and Dismemberment Rider that you<br />

may add to your policy.<br />

You will get 100% cover in case of unfortunate death due to accident; loss of more<br />

than one limb; loss of sight in both eyes; or loss of one limb and loss of sight in one eye.<br />

You receive 50% of cover in case of loss of one limb; or loss of sight in one eye.<br />

What happens if , due to some reason, I am unable to pay my premium on time?<br />

If you are unable to pay the premium by the due date, you will be given a grace period<br />

of 30 days and during this grace period all coverages under your policy will continue. If<br />

you do not pay your premium within the grace period, the following will be applicable:<br />

(a) In case your policy has not acquired a surrender benefit, then all benefits under<br />

your policy will cease immediately.<br />

(b) In case your policy has acquired a surrender benefit, then your policy will be<br />

continued on a reduced paid-up basis.<br />

You can reinstate your policy for its full coverage within two years from the due date of<br />

the unpaid premium by paying all outstanding premiums together with interest as<br />

declared by us from time to time and by providing evidence of insurability satisfactory<br />

to us.<br />

benefit. Interest, at a rate declared by us from time to time, will be charged against<br />

any outstanding loans.<br />

Any outstanding loan balance will be recovered by us from policy proceeds due for<br />

payment and will be deducted before any benefit is paid under the policy.<br />

What are the tax benefits that I get on this policy?<br />

You will be eligible for tax benefits under Section 80C and Section 10(10D) of the<br />

Income Tax Act, 1961. Presently,<br />

• Under Section 80C, premiums up to Rs. 100,000 are allowed as a deduction from<br />

your taxable income, each year<br />

• Under Section 10(10D), the benefits you receive from this plan are exempt from<br />

tax, subject to mentioned exclusions<br />

What option do I have in case I change my mind after buying the policy?<br />

You will have the right to return your policy to us within 15 days from the date of receipt<br />

of the policy. We will refund all premiums paid till date once we receive your written<br />

notice of cancellation (along with reasons thereof), together with the original policy<br />

documents. Depending on our then current administration rules, we may reduce the<br />

amount of the refund by expenditures incurred by us in issuing your policy, and as<br />
