Further, if a paid-up policy wherein the Maturity Paid-up Sum Assured is Rs. 2 lakhs or more, continues after premium paying term, it may participate in future profits after the premium paying term, depending on the Corporation’s experience under such paid-up policies.

Rider(s) shall not acquire any paid-up value and the rider benefit(s) cease to apply, if policy is in lapsed condition.

Revival:

If premiums are not paid by the end of the grace period then the policy will lapse. A lapsed policy can be revived within a period of 2 consecutive years from the date of first unpaid premium by paying all the arrears of premium together with interest (compounding half-yearly) at such rate as fixed by the Corporation at the time of the payment, subject to submission of satisfactory evidence of continued insurability.

The Corporation reserves the right to accept at original terms, accept at modified terms or decline the revival of a discontinued policy. The revival of discontinued policy shall take effect only after the same is approved by the Corporation and is specifically communicated in writing to the Life Assured.

If revival period falls beyond the premium paying term and the policy is revived after the due date of survival benefit(s), then:-

the unpaid survival benefit(s) (applicable in case of paid-up policy wherein the Maturity Paid-up Sum Assured is less than 2 lakhs) or;

the difference between Survival benefits on full Basic Sum Assured and Survival benefits on Maturity Paid-up Sum Assured (applicable in case of paid-up policy wherein the Maturity Paid-up Sum Assured equal to or greater than 2 lakhs)

shall be paid to the policy holder.

Revival of rider, if opted for, will be considered along with revival of the Base Policy, and not in isolation.
