Other Benefits:

Apart from the above benefits, the Canara HSBC Oriental Bank of Commerce offers additional benefits in Guaranteed Savings Plans. Let us brief you about it.

• Loan Facility:

  The bank offers a loan facility in this plan if you suddenly come across any unforeseen event. This is applicable when your policy obtains a Surrender Value. You can get a minimum amount of ₹ 20,000. However, the maximum amount can be 80% of the prevalent Surrender Value when you avail of the loan. You have to keep in mind that you can help the loan for an in-force policy itself and you cannot avail of the loan on paid-up policies.

• High Premium Booster

  The bank will increase the basic Sum Assured for a particular premium if your annual premium is more than ₹30,000. Refer to the table below to know your High Premium Booster percentage:

How do the benefits work?

As mentioned above, the bank offers you to customize the plans that best suit your financial needs and goals. You can follow these three simple steps:

Step 1- Select your plan option: You should select the plan according to your financial needs. If you aim to get a round sum of money on maturity and a life cover during the policy period, we would suggest you go for the "Guaranteed Savings Option". Else, if you aim to get intensified Protection during the policy and a round sum of money on maturity, we would suggest you go for "Guaranteed Savings with Double Protection Option". Nevertheless, if you aim to save for your little one's future, we advise you to opt for "Guaranteed Savings with Premium Protection Option".

Step 2- Select the premium: Choose your premium according to your financial sustainability. To ensure that your economic necessities are met, you can look over the guaranteed amount at policy maturity. We suggest you should save at least 20% of your monthly income if your income is steady. Since investments are diversified, you shouldn't necessarily invest all of your savings into saving schemes. Generally, your aim should be a financial buffer of over ten times your yearly income.

Step 3- Select your premium payment term, policy term, and premium payment mode: You should be aware of your ability to pay the premium. Select the period for which you would pay the premium. Also, select the policy term and frequency of the payment to align with your payment preference, savings horizon, and future goals.

The total Sum Assured in the option/plan would be set based on your age and the option selected above. If your annual premium is entitled to High Premium Booster, the Sum assured would be intensified by the High Premium Booster %.
