Option 2 - Fixed Income Protection

This option has a fixed monthly income death benefit protection. In this the life insured can secure the financial income flow for his family in his absence. For example – If the life insured gets a fixed monthly income of Rs.50,000 (which can be his monthly salary). In case of an eventuality (death of the life insured) the nominee will get fixed Rs.50,000 monthly till the time the life insured would had attained the age of 60 years or for 120 months whichever is higher.

Option 3 – Increasing Income Protection

The income increases at an annual simple rate of 10% of the original monthly income amount chosen at inception. The benefit will be payable till the time the sum assured have attained the age of 60 years or 120 months whichever is higher.

For example – If the life insured aged 35 gets a plan of monthly income of Rs. 50,000 under increasing income protection and passes away at age 41. His family will start receiving Rs.80, 000 considering Rs.5000 inflation every year which amounts to Rs.30, 000 increase for being in the 6th year of policy term. In the subsequent years as per the policy the monthly income will keep increasing Rs.5000 every year. The payment will end when the life insured would complete 60 years.
