What Is The Guaranteed Income Insurance Plan?

The policy guarantees tax free benefits after the completion of premium paying term.

Under this insurance plan, as you choose your policy term, you will have to pay the premium amount within the premium payment period. You can choose to pay monthly or yearly. As soon as the premium payment term finishes, the buyer will start receiving pay outs and insurance coverage for the remaining Duration under the ING Vysya Insurance Policy Term. If you choose a higher policy term, you get a higher return rate.
If the policy holder dies, the nominee will get the death benefit in the following two ways-
1. You can choose to receive a lump sum amount as under the guaranteed death benefit.
2. You can avail Family Income Benefit, or FIB, in which death benefit will be paid to you in 60 equal installments.
The death benefits are either of the three as follows-
1. 10 times the annual premium payable under the plan
2. Total Sum assured
3. 105% of premiums paid minus unpaid premiums
When the policy term is over without use, you get the sum assured as the maturity benefit.
Under this ING Vysya insurance plan, you get to cut on tax as tax benefits are applicable to the plan.
You also have guaranteed payouts at good return rates as well as good life insurance cover. The policy does not even lapse if you fault at paying premiums post two years of complete premium payment. You still get benefits, albeit at a lesser rate.
All in all, this ING Vysya Insurance plan combines the best of both worlds- returns as well as insurance cover. The age entry is also so low under this ING Vysya Insurance plan that you can buy early, stay covered for a lot of years while also earn money. It is a very smart plan out there.
