1. INTRODUCTION
What is Endowment Policy?
An endowment policy is a life insurance contract designed to pay a lump sum after a specified
term (on its 'maturity') or on death. Typical maturities are ten, fifteen or twenty years up to a
certain age limit. Some policies also pay out in the case of critical illness.
What is Traditional with Profit Endowment?
There is an amount guaranteed to be paid out called the sum assured and this can be increased
on the basis of investment performance through the addition of periodic (for example annual)
bonuses. Regular bonuses (sometimes referred to as reversionary bonuses) are guaranteed at
maturity and a further non-guaranteed bonus may be paid at the end known as a terminal bonus.
During adverse investment conditions, the encashment value or surrender value may be reduced
by a 'Market Value Reduction' or MVR (It is sometime referred to as a market value adjustment
but this is a term in decline through pressure from the Financial Services Authority to use clearer
terms). The idea of such a measure is to protect the investors who remain in the fund from others
withdrawing funds with notional values that are, or risk being, in excess of the value of
underlying assets at a time when stock markets are low. If an MVA applies an early surrender
would be reduced according to the policies adopted by the funds managers at the time.
The Endowment Assurance Policy
FEATURES:-
Moderate Premiums
High bonus
High liquidity
Savings oriented.
This policy not only makes provisions for the family of the Life Assured in event of his early
death but also assures a lump sum at a desired age. The lump sum can be reinvested to provide
an annuity during the remainder of his life or in any other way considered suitable at that time.
Premiums are usually payable for the selected term of years or until death if it occurs during the
4|Page
2. term period.
Suitable For:
Being an endowment assurance policy, this plan is apt for people of all ages and social groups
who wish to protect their families from a financial setback that may occur owing to their demise.
The amount assured if not paid by reason of his death earlier will payable at the end of the
endowment term where it can be invested in an annuity provision for the rest of the
policyholder's life or in any other way he may think most suitable at that time.
Disability Benefit:
In case policy holder becomes totally and permanently disabled due to an accident before
reaching the age of 70 and the policy is in full force, he will not be required to pay further
premiums, (the Disability Benefit is available in respect of the first Rs.20,000 sum assured on
any one life) and the policy will continue to be in force.
Accident Benefit:
By paying a small extra premium of Rs.1 per Rs.1000/- sum assured per year he or his family are
entitled to the following benefits on death or permanent disability caused by accident. Even
students above the age of 18 years can avail of this benefit.
Premium Stoppage:
If payment of premiums ceases after at least THREE years' premiums have been paid , a free
paid-up policy for a reduced sum assured will be automatically secured provided the reduced
sum assured, exclusive of any attached bonus, is not less than Rs. 250/-. The reduced sum
assured will become payable on the event as stipulated in the policy.
Bonus:
Is there anything extra payable besides the sum assured at the time of claim settlement? Yes, but
only if it is a „with profits‟ policy. Every year the Life Insurance Corporation distributes its
surplus among policyholder to „with profits‟ polices in the form of bonuses. Substantial bonuses
have been declared in the past after each valuation of policy liabilities.

this benefit illustration, it is assumed that the Projected Investment Rate of Return that

once bonus is declared in any year and added to the policy, the bonus so added is
