| Lump Sum | This is our most popular Payout option. Source: Company BuyOnline data - Dec 2015 till date. The Life Cover will be paid together as a fixed lump sum. For example, if you choose a Life Cover of ₹ 1 crore, your nominee will receive the same as lump sum amount. |

With this option, 10% of the benefit amount is payable every year for 10 years. This will be paid in equal monthly instalments, in advance, at the rate of 0.83333% of the total benefit amount. This means, for a Life Cover of ₹ 1 crore, the monthly income paid will be ₹ 83,333. Your nominee can also choose to receive the first year’s income, equal to ₹ 10 lakh, as lump sum. After this, the monthly instalments will continue from subsequent month for 9 years at the rate of 0.80% of the total benefit amount, i.e., ₹ 80,000 per month. |
| Increasing Income | This payout option gives 45% more life cover. If your Life Cover is ₹ 1 crore, then your nominee will receive ₹ 10 lakh in the first year, ₹ 11 lakh in the second year, ₹ 12 lakh in the third year and so on. At the end of the 10th years, total life cover received will be ₹ 1.45 crore. You can choose this option if you want your wife or children (nominee) to receive an increasing regular income. Your nominee will receive monthly instalments for 10 years. The income amount will increase by 10% p.a. simple interest every year. |
| Lump Sum plus Income | This is our new payout option. With this option, the Life Cover will be paid in two parts as selected by you at policy inception. For example, if your life cover is ₹ 1 crore, you can choose to give ₹ 50 lakh as lumpsum and remaining Rs 50 Lakh will be paid out in equal monthly instalments of ₹ 41,667 per month, at the rate of 0.83333% per month over 10 years. |
