Tax-Free benefits

You are advised to consult your tax advisor for details. Please note that tax laws may change from time to time, and tax benefits applicable will be as per prevailing tax laws.

*Actual Capital Sum Assured:
It is the minimum amount assured under the policy on death at any time during the term of the policy, not taking into account the value of any premium agreed to be returned or any benefit by way of bonus or otherwise which is to be received by any person under the policy over and above the sum actually assured.
