FAQ

Main » FAQ

There are several benefits of buying insurance. Other than the risk cover the most important you receive Income Tax Relief under Section 88 of the Income Tax Act, which means premiums paid by you, reduces your tax liability. Such exemptions are also available for premiums paid on health covers.

Besides it helps you build up compulsory savings.

Also through a valid assignment the beneficiaries of the policy are protected from claims of creditors. Life insurance policies can also be a great source of help as a security while availing of loans. One could also surrender his policy in case of emergencies.

For a policy taken under the MWP Act 1874, (Married Women's Property Act), a trust is created for wife and children as beneficiaries.

When you make a nomination within your life insurance policy, as the policyholder you still continue to be the owner. However after your death, the nominee who did not have any right under the policy while you were alive becomes the rightful recipient who will receive the policy monies. He or she may not be the rightful heir in which case the legal heir can implement his rights and claim the monies from the nominee.

An Annuity is an investment you make, either in a single lump sum or through installments paid over a certain number of years, in return for which you receive a specific sum every year, or every month either for life or a fixed number of years. Upon the death of the annuitant, or at the expiry of the period fixed for annuity payments, the invested annuity fund is refunded usually along with a small bonus.

Annuities differ from all other forms of life insurance in one fundamental way - They do not provide any insurance cover but offer a guaranteed income for a certain period or for life. Typically annuities are bought to generate income during one's retired life, which is why they are also called Pension Plans.

Annuities are an investment that offers you an income that you cannot outlive and provides a solution to the biggest financial insecurity of old age that you will outlive your income.

A loan is given only if you have an ICICI Pru Save'n'Protect policy.

If your policy has a surrender value, you can apply for a policy loan upto 80% of the surrender value. This loan will carry an interest rate as decided by the company from time to time. The interest will be charged starting from the date of the loan. You can repay the interest and the loan at any time.

If the total outstanding amount owed to us under your policy exceeds the surrender value, your policy terminate immediately. The outstanding loan and interest will be deducted from the claim amount at the time of settlement.

If premiums are paid for at least three consecutive years, the Policy acquires a Surrender Value. The Policy, which has acquired a Surrender Value, can be surrendered for payment in cash. Once the Policy is surrendered the contract is terminated. In the case of ICICI Pru Single Premium Bond the policy can be surrendered after the first year.

Section 39 of the Indian Insurance Act 1938 provides for nomination of a person who would receive the benefits of the claim on the death of the life assured. Nomination establishes a clear title to the policy. This prevents dispute and also prevents delay in settlement of a death claim. In the case where nomination has not been given at the time of proposal, nomination can be made at any time during the term of the policy. Nomination can also be changed, at any time during the tenure of the policy, by intimating us at ICICI Prudential.

Added by: Dinesh Patel (Dinesh)

Yes. You can change your nomination at any time till the maturity date. All you need to do is to inform us about the change through a specified form.

Added by: Dinesh Patel (Dinesh)

You can call our customer service center or notify us through a letter about the change of address. We shall confirm the change to you.

We offer you a grace period for non-payment on due date. This grace period is 30 days from the due date in case premium payments are made on quarterly, half-yearly or yearly basis. It is 15 days from the due date for monthly payments. During this period the policy remains in full force and no interest is charged. If you fail to pay a premium even during the grace period, your policy automatically:

Lapses if there is no surrender value.

Converts to a paid up policy if there is enough surrender value.

Added by: Dinesh Patel (Dinesh)

You can apply for a duplicate policy document. To get this document, you will have to send us a letter stating the circumstances under which the policy was lost.

Added by: Dinesh Patel (Dinesh)

The policy can be assigned. To assign the policy you have to notify us regarding the assignment.

To begin with, 'nomination' is the process of identifying a person to receive the policy amount in the event of death of the policyholder. The nomination can be done at the start of the policy by providing details of the nominee in the proposal form. However, if the nomination is not given at the beginning, it can be done at a later date. This nomination has to be effected by giving notice in a prescribed form to LIC and getting it endorsed on the Policy Bond.

The policyholder can change the nomination at any time during the term of the policy and for end number of times. For this, the policyholder has to give a notice in a prescribed form to LIC. Further, nomination can be removed any time by the policyholder without giving prior notice to the nominee.

Under nomination, the nominee gets only the right to receive the policy amount in the event of the death of the policyholder; nomination does not pass on the property in the policy. If nominee dies when the policyholder is still surviving then the nomination would be ineffective. If nominee dies after the death of the policyholder but before receiving policy amount, then again the nomination becomes ineffective and only the legal heirs of the policyholder can claim money.
