- Grace Period: Yearly, half-yearly, and quarterly premium payments have a grace period of 30 days, whereas monthly premium payments have a grace period of 15 days under the plan. The insurance will remain in effect if the life assured passes away during the grace period but before the due date for premium payments.

- Partial Withdrawals: After the fifth policy anniversary, you may withdraw some of the units as long as all unpaid premiums have been paid up to that point. If a partial withdrawal has been made, the basic sum assured or paid-up sum assured, depending on which is applicable, will be decreased by the amount of the partial withdrawals made for two years starting from the date of the withdrawal.

- Settlement Option: One month prior to the maturity date, policyholders have the opportunity to select this option. This option may be activated at any time while the policy is still in effect by indicating the kind of installment and the duration in years (not more than 5 years).
- Commencement Of Risk: If the life assured’s age at entrance is less than eight years, the risk will begin either one day before the policy’s two-year anniversary or one day before the policy’s anniversary that falls on, precedes, or follows the completion of eight years, depending on which occurs first. Risk will start right away if the age of the life assured is 8 years or greater at admission.
