The Company reserves the right to revise the following charges from time to time, subject to the following maximum limits, with prior approval from the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority (IRDA):

Fund Management Charge: Growth Opportunities Fund – 2.50% p.a. of the net assets, Grow Money Fund – 2.50% p.a. of the net assets, Save‘n’grow Money Fund – 2.00% p.a. of the net assets and Steady Money Fund – 1.75% p.a. of the net assets.

Policy Administration Charge: Not exceeding (in any Policy year) an amount equal to compounded value of current charge, at the rate of 5% since August 2008.

Partial Withdrawal Charge: Rs. 300 per partial withdrawal.

Switching Charge: Rs. 300 per switch.

The Company also has the right to revise the asset allocation of any investment fund(s) with prior approval from IRDA.

The unit pricing shall be computed based on whether the Company is purchasing (appropriation price) or selling (expropriation price) the assets in order to meet the day to day transactions of unit allocations and unit redemptions i.e. the life insurer shall be required to sell / purchase the assets if unit redemptions / allocations exceed unit allocations/redemptions at the valuation date.

The appropriation price shall apply in a situation when the Company is required to purchase the assets to allocate the units at the valuation date. This shall be the amount of money that the Company should put into the fund in respect of each unit it allocates in order to preserve the interests of the existing Policyholders. The unit price will be computed as follows: Market value of investment held by the fund plus the expenses incurred in the purchase of the assets plus the value of any current assets plus any accrued income net of fund management charges less the value of any current liabilities less provisions, if any. This gives the net asset value of the fund. Dividing by the number of units existing at the valuation date (before any new units are allocated), gives the unit price of the fund under consideration.

The expropriation price shall apply in a situation when the Company is required to sell assets to redeem the units at the valuation date. This shall be the amount of money that the Company should take out of the fund in respect of each unit it cancels in order to preserve the interests of the continuing Policyholders. The unit price will be computed as follows: Market value of investment held by the fund less the expenses incurred in the sale of the assets plus the value of any current assets plus any accrued income net of fund management charges less the value of any current liabilities less provisions, if any. This gives the net asset value of the fund. Dividing by the number of units existing at the valuation date (before any units are redeemed), gives the unit price of the fund under consideration.

The total amount of top-up in a Policy year cannot be more than 25% of total regular premiums paid till that date. Top-up premium has no effect on your Sum Assured.

8. Liquidity Benefit with Partial Withdrawal:

We all need money during our lifetime to fulfil certain goals. From time to time, you may need money to pay for your child’s education, going on a long vacation, pay off an existing loan etc.

You can withdraw money from your Policy Fund Value any time after completion of three Policy years. Each partial withdrawal should be a minimum of Rs. 5,000 and after withdrawal the Policy Fund Value should not be less than 120% of the Annualised Regular Premium. Four partial withdrawals are free of charge in a Policy year and each subsequent partial withdrawal will be subject to a charge of Rs. 100.

9. Decrease in Premium:

While we recommend that you pay the agreed amount of annual premium for the entire term of the Policy, we also understand that sometimes you may face financial constraints which might make it difficult for you to pay the agreed premium throughout the term. Therefore, in this product, we allow you to decrease the premium amount any time after completion of two Policy years. Decrease in premium will decrease your Sum Assured in the same proportion. Annualised Regular Premium can be reduced subject to the following condition:

During 3rd policy year, the Annualised Regular Premium can be reduced such that the revised premium is at least Higher of

• 75% of first year Annualised Regular Premium

• Minimum Annualized Regular Premium

From 4th policy year onwards, the Annualised Regular Premium can be reduced to the minimum Annualised Regular Premium.

10. Cover Continuance Option:

While we recommend that all your regular premiums be paid on the respective due dates, we also understand that due to sudden changes in lifestyle like increased responsibilities or unexpected increase in household expenses may affect your future ability to pay premiums.

Now you need not worry if you are unable to pay premiums into your Policy. The cover continuance option entitles you to continue your Policy with all benefits if you are unable to pay premiums (as per the table below). Once you have opted for this option, you cannot pay any further premiums or top-ups under the Policy.

11. Extended Maturity Benefit with Settlement Option:

You may want to take advantage of Bharti AXA Life’s fund management expertise even after maturity of your Policy. You can avail any of the following options at maturity:

I. Take entire maturity proceeds (Policy Fund Value + Jumpstart Benefit) as lump sum payment on maturity; or

II. Take the maturity proceeds (Policy Fund Value + Jumpstart Benefit) at regular intervals in instalments over 5 years after the maturity date (extended maturity period). The value payable at such intervals will be calculated at the unit price as on the relevant date

III. A combination of the above mentioned two options

At any time during the extended maturity period, you have an option to withdraw the balance available Policy Fund Value as on that date. However, you will not be entitled to life insurance benefit or partial withdrawals / switches between investment funds or top-ups during this period.

Please note that during the extended maturity period, the investment risk in the investment portfolio continues to be borne by the Policyholder.

3. Special Addition with “Jumpstart Benefit”:

Partial Withdrawal Charge: Rs. 300 per partial withdrawal.

Switching Charge: Rs. 300 per switch.

The Company also has the right to revise the asset allocation of any investment fund(s) with prior approval from IRDA.

The unit pricing shall be computed based on whether the Company is purchasing (appropriation price) or selling (expropriation price) the assets in order to meet the day to day transactions of unit allocations and unit redemptions i.e. the life insurer shall be required to sell / purchase the assets if unit redemptions / allocations exceed unit allocations/redemptions at the valuation date.

The appropriation price shall apply in a situation when the Company is required to purchase the assets to allocate the units at the valuation date. This shall be the amount of money that the Company should put into the fund in respect of each unit it allocates in order to preserve the interests of the existing Policyholders. The unit price will be computed as follows: Market value of investment held by the fund plus the expenses incurred in the purchase of the assets plus the value of any current assets plus any accrued income net of fund management charges less the value of any current liabilities less provisions, if any. This gives the net asset value of the fund. Dividing by the number of units existing at the valuation date (before any new units are allocated), gives the unit price of the fund under consideration.

The expropriation price shall apply in a situation when the Company is required to sell assets to redeem the units at the valuation date. This shall be the amount of money that the Company should take out of the fund in respect of each unit it cancels in order to preserve the interests of the continuing Policyholders. The unit price will be computed as follows: Market value of investment held by the fund less the expenses incurred in the sale of the assets plus the value of any current assets plus any accrued income net of fund management charges less the value of any current liabilities less provisions, if any. This gives the net asset value of the fund. Dividing by the number of units existing at the valuation date (before any units are redeemed), gives the unit price of the fund under consideration.
