IDBI Federal Wealthsurance Milestone Insurance Plan

---

IDBI Federal Life Insurance has introduced a new ULIP on 01st Sept.,2010 after the new guidelines from IRDA. Let's understand that plan.

How does Wealthsurance work?

Wealthsurance gives you (a) Investment Account and (b) Insurance Account.

My Investment Account

The premiums you pay are invested post deduction of a premium allocation charge into the investment options you choose in the proportion that you specify. IDBI Federal InvestmentBasket contains all the investment options we offer. The balance in your Investment Account reflects the wealth built over time from your premium contributions and the returns from the investment options chosen by you.

My Insurance Account

You can also choose any of the insurance benefits we offer under IDBI Federal InsuranceBasket. You pay for only those benefits you choose and the charges are deducted from your Investment Account.

Types of Premiums

Wealthsurance has two types of premiums: (a) Basic Premiums and (b) Top-up Premiums.

(a) Basic Premiums

When you choose your Wealthsurance Plan, you have to indicate the premiums you wish to contribute. These are your Basic Premiums. You can choose either Single Premium or Regular Premium.

Single Premium: If you choose Single Premium, you have to simply make a one-time payment at the time of taking the plan. Minimum amount is Rs 35,000.

Regular Premium: If you choose Regular Premium, you have  to indicate (a) Amount, (b) Frequency of Payment and  (c) Payment Term. Minimum amount is Rs 20,000 per year, payable in annual installments or Rs 50,000 payable in half-yearly installments (i.e. Rs 50,000 every six months) Minimum premium payment period is 5 years. The premiums payable cannot be altered  during the term of the policy.

(b) Top-up Premiums

Over and above the Basic Premiums, you can pay Top-up Premiums. Minimum amount is Rs 5,000 at a time and you can pay whenever you want and any number of times. Top-up premiums are not allowed in the last 5 years prior to the maturity of your plan. Top-ups allow you to contribute additional premiums if and when you want, to grow wealth at your convenience and get tax benefits. Top-up Premiums can be paid only if you have paid all the Basic Regular Premiums due till date. Every Top-up premium will have a lock-in period of 5 years from the date of payment of that top-up premium. Top-up premiums automatically increase sum insured  Whenever you pay Top-up premiums, we will automatically increase your sum insured  based on your age on the date of the Top-up (a) By 125% of the Top-up premium paid, if you are less than 45 years old, or (b) By 110% of the Top-up premium paid, if you are equal to or greater than 45 years old. Thus you will also get enhanced life insurance cover when you pay Top-up premiums. Increase in sum insured is, however, subject to our underwriting guidelines.

Premium Allocation Charge is deducted from the premiums you pay and the balance is invested in investment options of your choice. Premium Allocation Charge as a % of annual premium for Regular premium policies is as follows:
