Depending on the type of policy, you may be eligible to receive a payout at the end of the policy term, or during the policy term as mid-term payout.

  • Policy payouts: These amounts are paid directly to the policy holder by the insurer based on the type of policy and as per the policy terms and conditions
    1. Maturity payout: Lump sum payouts paid at the end of the policy term
    2. Mid-term policy payouts/ income: Income or survival benefits paid during the policy term
    3. Annuity(pension) payout: Fixed amounts paid as per the payout option chosen by the annuitant
  • Policy Foreclosure (termination) payout: Paid when a policy gets foreclosed (terminated) due to non-payment of premiums
  • Claim-based payouts (Life/Health insurance claims): Paid to the nominee or the policyholder when a formal request is raised by the nominee or the policyholder with the insurer for insurance claim promised in the policy in case of an unforeseen event or on diagnosis of any disease

For more details regarding the payouts applicable for your policy, please refer to your policy document.
