1. Sum Assured on Death + Net Accrued Regular Additions Payment in cash (if any) + Interim Regular Addition (if declared) + Terminal Bonus (if declared)
2. 105% of Total Paid Premiums (till the date of death) that is higher of 10 X Annualised Premium or Premium Payment Term X Annualised Premium

If you complete the policy term, you will get a Maturity Benefit at the end of the policy term that comprises guaranteed benefits and bonuses such as.

1. Sum Assured on Maturity + Applicable Guaranteed Value Benefits + Accrued Regular Additions (in cash payment) if any + Terminal bonus (if declared).
2. Bonuses are declared in the form of Regular Additions annually from the first year of the policy and will be payable on maturity
3. If Terminal Bonus is declared by the company, it will be payable at policy maturity
4. The Sum Assured on Maturity is calculated using the formula

Sum Assured on Maturity = Annualised Premium X Premium Payment Term

Payout Option for ICICI Pru Lakshya Wealth (Wealth Plan)

The insurer will pay the Maturity Benefit under these two mentioned options. You can choose the one which fits you the best.

1. Lump-sum Payout: This option is for those individuals who are looking to build a wealth corpus. Under this option, your maturity benefit will be payable in a lump sum in a single pay-out when the policy term ends.
2. Income Payout: This option is for those individuals who are looking to receive regular income for a fixed period. Under this option, you can receive the maturity benefit in installments throughout 5, 10, or 15 years. One can choose to receive the entire maturity benefit or a part of it via regular installments. The interest rate on the installment is fixed by the company every month for the chosen period.

ICICI Pru Lakshya Wealth (Lifelong Income Plan)

Under this plan, the insured will receive a regular income until 99 years of age. And following is the list of benefits that he/she can claim.

Death Benefit

If the life assured dies during the policy term and all due premiums have been paid, the beneficiary or nominee will get the following Death Benefit, whichever comes higher.

1. Sum Assured on Death + Bonuses
2. 105% of Total Paid Premiums till the death of the insured

Sum Assured on Death = 10 X Annualised Premium or Premium Payment Term X Annualised Policy Premium

The policy bonuses consist of the accrued Regular Additions (if any paid in cash), Interim Regular Addition, and Terminal Bonus, if declared, before ISD (Income Start Date). Your policy bonuses will consist of Interim Cash Bonus and Terminal Bonus, if declared, after ISD. On payment of the Death Benefit by the insurer, all policy benefits will be ceased.

Maturity Benefit

If you survive till maturity, you will receive a Maturity Benefit that consists of the following:-

Maturity Benefit = Sum Assured on Maturity + Terminal bonus (if declared by the insurer)

The premiums which you have paid during the policy term are protected with a benefit. And this Sum Assured on Maturity is equal to your total contribution during the policy term which is calculated as follows:-

Sum Assured on Maturity = Annualised Premium X Premium Payment Term

If a Terminal Bonus is declared by the company, you will get it on the policy maturity or death.

Survival Benefit

If you have survived till the ISD that is the policy 5th anniversary year after the Premium Payment Term, the accrued Regular Additions (if any will be paid in cash), till that date it will be payable as a lump sum.

1. Guaranteed Income (it will be set at policy inception)
2. Cash Bonus (if declared)

Note: Higher policy premiums will make you eligible for higher Guaranteed Income.

Example: Madhur is a 40-year-old male and paid a PPT for 10 years. Check out the table below to know how his policy premium payments change the guaranteed income for him.

What Will Happen If You Discontinue the Policy Premium Payment?

Additional Benefits of ICICI Pru Lakshya Wealth Policy

Apart from the above-mentioned benefits, take a look at below what more ICICI Pru Lakshya Wealth has to offer:-

Surrender Benefit:- When your policy completes 2 PPT years and all premiums are paid until your policy acquires a Guaranteed Surrender Value, you will get a Surrender Value that will be equal to or higher from the following:-

1. Guaranteed Surrender Value (GSV) that includes guaranteed surrender value of accrued Bonuses (which are declared in the form of Regular Additions and paid in cash, if any)
2. Special Surrender Value (SSV)

After the Surrender Value payment, the policy will terminate and all rights, benefits and interests under the policy will stand extinguished.

Guaranteed Surrender Value:- 

Know the GSV for your chosen ICICI Pru Lakshya Wealth policy.

Wealth Plan:- GSV = GSV Factor for premiums X total paid premiums paid + GSV Factor for Bonus X accrued Regular Additions (paid in cash, if any) X Surrender timing factor.

Lifelong Income Plan:-  GSV = GSV Factor for premiums X total paid premiums – Guaranteed Income paid (if any) GSV Factor for Bonus X accrued Regular Additions (paid in cash, if any) X Surrender timing factor.

All the factors that apply to your Guaranteed Surrender Value are guaranteed throughout the policy term.

Note:- If you discontinue the premium payment before your policy has acquired a surrender value, there will be no benefits payable under the policy.

Loans:- 

If any financial emergency occurs during the policy term, you can avail loan under this policy if your policy acquires a surrender value. Your policy loan amount will be a maximum of 80% of the Surrender Value. The company is entitled to call the life assured for repayment of the loan by giving a notice, if the loan outstanding amount is greater than the policy surrender value and if the policy is in a paid-up state.

If you are unable to repay the loan before the due date, the policy will be foreclosed and all rights, benefits and interests under the policy will stand Extinguished.

The lender applies an interest rate on your policy loan that will be equal to 150 basis points in addition to the prevailing yield on 10 year Government Securities and will be set monthly. ICICI Pru Lakshya Wealth Policy loan interest rate is 7.97% per annum as per the data in December 2019 by the company. The loan interest rate is compounded half-yearly and the basis will be reviewed from time to time and revised when it gets the approval of the IRDAI.

Death Benefit in Installment:-

An option of death benefit installment is available for the life assured in both the ICICI Pru Lakshya Wealth policy Wealth Plan and Lifelong Income Plan. You can get the installment for the death benefit for a chosen period in a paid-up policy as well. This option is exercised by the nominee at the time of policy claim; for full or part of death benefits under this policy.

Your nominee will receive the installment for a minimum period of 5, 10, or 15 years from time to time. And it will be calculated at annuity certain, the prevailing interest rate at the time of life assured death. Yields of the respective Government Securities – spread of 25 basis points will be used by the insurer to declare the interest rate to the annuity certain. The basis for computing the interest rates is reviewed from time to time and may get revised by the company post the approval from the IRDAI.

The policy installments are paid in advance at monthly, yearly, half-yearly, or quarterly intervals, as opted by the nominee. Check out the table to know the minimum installment amount:

Note: If the installment payment is less than the minimum installment amount as mentioned above, the claim amount will be paid in a lump sum. However, the nominee has the option to take the remaining installments in one lump sum which is equal to the discounted value of the remaining installments at a discount rate as they are declared by the company from time to time. This interest rate applicable for discounting the future installment payments will be fixed by the company every month based on yields of the respective Government Securities + spread of 25 basis points. The basis for computing the discounting interest rates will be reviewed from time to time and may get revised by the insurer subject to the prior approval of the IRDAI.
