    02
    Top-up Premiums

    You can make Top-Up premiums anytime except in the last 5 policy years, starting from a minimum of ₹5,000. Each Top-Up is treated as a single premium with a 5-year lock-in and offers 1.25× life cover on the Top-Up amount.

    03

    You can make partial withdrawals after 5 policy years, starting from ₹5,000, and the amount is taken from your Top-Up balance first. You may withdraw up to 20% of your fund value each year, as long as you keep the required minimum balance and the life assured is 18 or older.

    04
    Settlement Option at Maturity

    At maturity, you can take your money as regular payouts for up to 5 years (min ₹2,000 per installment), during this period, fund switches are allowed but Top-Ups and partial withdrawals are not.
