What is Surrender value?
It
is the amount the policyholder will get from the life insurance company if he
decides to exit the policy before maturity.
This is the value which is
the amount payable to you should you decide to discontinue the policy and
encash the same from insurance company.
As per a recent Insurance
and Regulatory Development Authority (IRDA) directive, life insurance companies
have been asked not to levy surrender charges if the policyholder chooses to
terminate the cover after five years.
Therefore retention of
earlier policies and continuation of all policies without allowing them to
lapse is the best strategy for continuing life insurance protection
A
regular premium policy acquires surrender value after the policyholder has paid
the premiums continuously for three years. After three years, you do not wish
to continue with the policy, you can convert it into a paid-up one, freezing
your investments at that level. However, you need to make sure that you keep
track of this policy till it matures.
Surrender Value calculation
- After 3 year you can surrender your policy means you are paying 3 year premium.
- First year premium not paid back if you surrender your policy.
- minimum surrender value is 30% of total amount of premium paid excluding of first year premium paid & also extra premium If your yearly premium is 10000 & pay 3 years = 30000 total premium pay your minimum surrender value 6000 ( 20000*30%)
