BSLI Vision Plan

BSLI Vision

You have always wanted a plan that enables you to meet your financial goals and also gives you financial security over your entire lifetime. Presenting BSLI Vision - a plan that gives you a lump sum payout on the date of your choice and a life cover up to the age of 100 years. What’s more, you only pay premiums for a limited number of years while you enjoy your life cover up to the age of 100 years.
This plan offers you:
  • Payout on the date of your choice
  • Whole Life Cover
  • Options to enhance your protection
How BSLI Vision plan works:
  1. You choose the Sum Assured which is the amount of life insurance cover up to the age of 100 years.
  2. You choose a Guaranteed Survival Benefit (GSB) Term based on the number of years after which you would like to receive your payout. This term is also the accumulation phase of your plan, i.e. the number years for which you would have to pay premiums.
  3. You choose from our range of riders, to enhance the financial security of your family.
Based on your above choices, you will receive a host of benefits as below:

  1. Guaranteed Survival benefit
    At the end of the GSB Term, you will receive a fixed payout known as the Guaranteed Survival Benefit.
    Along with the Guaranteed Survival Benefit, you will receive Monthly Additions and Enhancement to monthly additions. Please read further to know more about Monthly Additions.
  2. Guaranteed Death Benefit
    In the unfortunate event of the death of the life insured during the policy term, the nominee will receive the Sum Assured as the Death Benefit.
  3. Guaranteed Maturity Benefit
    In the event that the life insured survives to the end of the policy term, you will receive the Sum Assured as the Guaranteed Maturity Benefit.
  4. Monthly Additions
    At the beginning of each policy year, your policy will be assigned the latest Monthly Addition Rate declared by us, provided all due premiums have been paid in full. Once this Monthly Addition Rate is assigned to your policy, it will be guaranteed for the next 12 months, and used to calculate your Monthly Additions during the upcoming policy year. We will be declaring new Monthly Addition Rates on April 1st of every calendar year. Please ask you financial advisor for the Monthly Addition Rate currently applicable on your policy. The currently declared Monthly Addition Rates are as follows (annual rate per 1000 of Sum Assured):

    GSB Term 5 to 10 Years 11 to 15 Years 16 to 20 Years 21+ Years
    Currently Declared 39.0 39.0 41.4 45.0

  5. Enhancements to Monthly Additions

    If your GSB term is more than 21 years and if Monthly Additions have been accrued for more than 21 policy years, the accrued Monthly Additions payable as a Death Benefit or a Survival Benefit shall be enhanced by the following percentage:

    Sum Assured Band Band 1 Band 2 Band 3 Band 4
