SBI Life eWealth Insurance Plan

SBI Life’s eWealth Insurance plan is an online unit-linked plan that promises to assist you in accumulating more wealth. The plan was created to offer the dual benefits of insurance protection and returns that are correlated to the market.

Your money can be invested through this policy in either the equity or debt markets. The plan enables the insured to maximize his money through appealing returns while simultaneously securing his insurance needs.

Features & Benefits Of SBI Life eWealth Insurance

Given below are the details of coverage and benefits offered by the plan:

Equity Fund: The primary goal of an equity fund is to increase exposure to stocks to maximize return on investment.

Bond Fund: Compared to investing in shares, the bond fund is a safer and less volatile option. Here, the profits from investments in debt instruments and fixed-income securities are gathered.

Money Market Fund: The goal of a money market fund is to invest money in liquid and secure securities so that it can avoid market dangers for a predetermined amount of time.

Discontinued Policy Fund: This fund’s objective is to offer a less volatile investment choice. It is made available through liquid assets and debt instruments. A 4% annual interest rate will be guaranteed for this fund.

Death Benefit: The policyholder’s nominees will receive a sum equal to or greater than 105% of the total premiums paid up to the date of death in the event of his death. The amount assured will depend on whatever partial withdrawals the policyholder made in the two years before his or her passing.

Maturity Benefit: Policyholders who survive until the end of the policy term will receive a lump sum payment equal to the fund value. As an alternative, clients might opt to receive the maturity benefits in periodic payments within 5 years of the maturity date.

Grace Period: The plan provides a grace period of 15 days for monthly premium payments and 30 days for annual premium payments.
