How the Plan Works
After the policyholder reaches the selected age or after a predefined waiting period, the insurer begins paying a fixed monthly or yearly amount for the remainder of the policy term or until the insured's death. The payout amount is determined at policy issuance based on the sum assured, premium paid, and the chosen income period.
Premium Payment Options
Exide Life allows flexibility in premium payment:
- Single premium – a one‑time lump‑sum payment.
- Regular premiums – payable annually, semi‑annually, or monthly.
Choosing a higher premium generally increases the guaranteed income amount.
