The Guaranteed Surrender Value before the date of commencement of risk is 90% of the premiums paid excluding the premiums paid during the first year and any extra premium paid. After the date of commencement of risk, the Guaranteed Surrender Value is 90% of the premiums paid before the date of commencement of risk excluding the premiums paid during the first year and any extra premium paid plus 30% of the premiums paid after the date of commencement of risk.

Corporation’s policy on surrenders:

In practice, the company will pay a Special Surrender Value – which is either equal to or more than the Guaranteed Surrender Value. The benefit payable on surrender reflects the discounted value of the claim amount that would be payable on death or at maturity. This value will depend on the duration for which premiums have been paid and the policy at the date of surrender. In some circumstances, in case of early termination of the policy, the surrender value payable may be less than the total premium paid.

The Corporation reviews the surrender value payable under its plans from time to time depending on the economic environment, experience and other factors.

Statutory warning:

"Some benefits are guaranteed and some benefits are variable with returns based on the future performance of your insurer carrying on life insurance business.  If your policy offers guaranteed returns then these will be clearly marked “guaranteed” in the illustration table on this page.  If your policy offers variable returns then the illustrations on this page will show two different rates of assumed future investment returns.  These assumed rates of return are not guaranteed and they are not the upper or lower limits of what you might get back as the value of your policy is dependent on a number of factors including future investment performance."

(i) This illustration is applicable to a non-smoker male/female standard (from medical, life style and occupation point of view) life.

(ii) The non-guaranteed benefits (1) and (2) in above illustration are calculated so that they are consistent with the Projected Investment Rate of Return assumption of 6% p.a.(Scenario 1) and 10% p.a. (Scenario 2) respectively. In other words, in preparing this benefit illustration, it is assumed that the Projected Investment Rate of Return that LICI will be able to earn throughout the term of the policy will be 6% p.a. or 10% p.a., as the case may be. The Projected Investment Rate of Return is not guaranteed.

(iii) The main objective of the illustration is that the client is able to appreciate the features of the product and the flow of benefits in different circumstances with some level of quantification.
