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withdrawn by you or can be used to pay the premium dues.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.

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 />

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 />

may add to your policy.<br />

than one limb; loss of sight in both eyes; or loss of one limb and 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 />

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 />

No policy of life insurance effected after the coming into force of this act shall, after the<br />
