We have discussed all the features and benefits of the SBI Life Grameen Super Suraksha Plan in detail below.

Multiple Options to Choose the Sum Insured

Under the SBI Life Grameen Super Suraksha Plan, the sum insured ranges from INR 5,000 to INR 2,00,000. Policyholders can choose according to their convenience.

What will be the Policy Term?

The policy term depends on the premium payment mode. To know more, check the below table.

Protection Against an Unfortunate Event (Death)

If an insured member dies during the policy term and all the due premiums have been paid, the insurer will provide the sum assured to the nominee or legal heir. If all the due premiums have not been paid and –

1. The insured member dies during the grace period – SBI Life will pay the sum assured to the nominee after deducting the unpaid premium
2. The insured member dies after the grace period – No benefit will be provided

Under all the group micro-insurance schemes, the maximum benefit cannot exceed INR 50,000 under any circumstances, whether through a single or multiple applications of the same member. To get the claim benefit, the nominee or legal heir will need to send the following documents for the claim processing within 90 days of the death of the insured person.

1. Proof of insurance cover on the life of the deceased member
2. Claimant’s statement and claim forms
3. Original death certificate from municipal or local authorities
4. Any other document (which SBI Life calls for at its discretion)

Surrender Benefit

Insured members can get surrender benefits only in case of the single premium payment mode. The policy should have been issued with a policy term of 13 months and more. If an insured member or a master policyholder does not want to continue the policy, he/she can surrender it anytime after the first policy year and before the cover expiry date.

The surrender value will be as follows.

50% of single premiums paid (exclusive of applicable taxes and cess) x (Unexpired term/ Policy term)
