Star Union Dai-ichi Life Premier Protection Plan
Objective
This term insurance policy aims to protect family members from financial distress in the event of death of the insured member.
Our View
This is an expensive policy. Before buying any policy evaluate your needs and select regular premium payment option over single premium payment. The reason we say this is because in case something goes wrong in early years of the policy, you have already paid a huge chunk of amount as premium to the insurance company.
Suited for
Anyone looking for a cover higher than Rs 25 lakhs can take this policy.
What does it do?
This plan pays sum assured to the nominee in case of unfortunate demise of the life insured. The policy does not offer anything on survival.
Single premium policyholders, in case of an emergency, may surrender the policy after 1 year. The surrender value will be calculated according to the predefined formula.
Regular premium policies can avail accidental death and total and permanent disability rider. The rider pays an additional amount equal to rider sum assured in case of death due to an accident, or ten half-yearly installments, each equal to 10 per cent of the rider sum assured in the event of total and permanent disability.
Pros
The plan offers accidental death and total and permanent disability rider to enhance coverage.
A lapsed policy can be revived within 3 years.
Single premium policies can be surrendered in case of need.
