Single premium pension plans are simply those pension plans where you can invest a large lump sum amount in a single transaction. The plan remains active and does not require any further investments to provide the benefits you have selected.
There may come times when you are busy with your work and forget to pay your premiums or are unable to pay due to some other reasons. A single premium pension plan eliminates all these possibilities. It involves no regular payments. All you have to do is pay once in a lump sum and then relax. Once you reach your retirement age, this retirement plan will come into action and will create a regular income stream from the money you once deposited.

There are many types of single premium plans available on the market. Each plan has its own features. You can choose a plan that suits your objectives the most. These plans can be broadly classified into two categories:
These are also called regular or non-linked single premium plans. Your funds are invested in safe securities such as government bonds and corporate bonds. The main objective of these plans is to ensure the stability of returns.
The returns are predictable and are along the same lines throughout the period. Thus, non-linked plans are more uniform.
These can be further divided into two parts:
These are the types of annuities in which the income to be received is deferred to a later date after the premiums are paid. These are deferred annuity plans, where the insurance company agrees to pay your amount at a future date. The minimum period of waiting is 1 year.
Under this type, you make a one-time contribution to your annuity. The premium is paid in a lump sum. This lump sum is contributed to a regular income stream at the time of pay-out. Here, the payment starts almost immediately rather than at a future date.
These plans are linked to the market. That is, the investment that you make towards your unit-linked plan will be invested in market securities such as equity, debt, etc. These are great options for retirement if you want to increase your wealth in the long run.
Because these plans are based on market performance, they are riskier but also provide you with higher returns over time.
These plans give you the freedom to choose the security or fund in which your money will be invested. Thus, you can manage your plan according to your preferences and risk-taking capabilities.
ULIPs, NPS, and equity-linked pension plans from life insurers are examples of this type of pension plan.
A single premium pension plan works in the following manner. Notice that depending on the plan features you select at the time of purchase, the plan workings may differ:
The first step is to select an income you wish to receive during your retirement. This is the total monthly or quarterly amount you want to receive as regular income after you retire.
Use the online single premium pension plan calculator to
estimate how much money you need to invest now for the
intended income after 60.
You can
buy pension plans
usually after the age of 40. So, if you are not yet eligible
for purchase you can plan to build this corpus by the time you
retire or become eligible.
This is the age when the pension plan will start releasing the accumulated corpus in a stream of regular income. Based on this age you will need to select a deferred annuity or immediate annuity.
You can select a limited period income. However, if retirement pension is your only objective and this plan is the sole income source, you should select the lifetime income option.
Joint life annuity secures post-retirement income not only for you but also for your spouse. However, if your spouse already has a separate pension plan, or you are single, you can opt for a single-life annuity.
Now that you have selected most of the features you can complete your application form. Do check the summary of benefits and features available to you in the policy.
