- There is a guaranteed payment for five years in this plan. As it’s an immediate annuity plan, we can receive payments immediately once it gets started. Suppose if the annuitant expires within these five years, then the recipient can get the insured money. In case of continued existence of the insurer, the amount can be received for the lifetime.
- This plan offers assured returns for ten years. If any unforeseen incident happens to the policyholder during the period of returns, then the nominee gets the pension amount.
- This is an immediate plan with a guaranteed annuity period of fifteen years. After this period, if the policyholder is alive, he can get the annuity for lifetime. Also, there are many other options in this plan, for this you can consult with your agent.
