SBI Life Smart Shield -Decreasing Term Assurance (Family Income Protection)

	Objective		This policy aims at providing financial stability to a family, in case of death of the breadwinner, by replacing the insured's income with monthly payouts.
What does it do?		This term plan pays sum assured as monthly installments to the nominee in case of death of the insured. Monthly benefit will be calculated as sum assured divided by policy term in months. The nominee can also ask for premium as a lump sum which will be a discounted value of remaining monthly payouts. The plan allows the policyholder to surrender the policy after second policy year. Surrender value will be calculated as per the predefined formula. There is no survival benefit.
Pros		The policy gives rebate to high sum assured policies. Non-smokers also enjoy discount on premium. Plan provides surrender value as well.
Cons		Premium can be paid in single installment only.
Suited for		This policy is suitable if your family cannot deftly manage a lump sum amount in your absence.
Our View		Premium towards this policy can be paid as single amount only which is a major drawback. Single premium plan may prove to be expensive as compared to regular premium payment option as you lock-in a large amount for a fixed cover. The reason we say this is because in case something goes wrong in early years of the policy, you have already paid a huge chunk of amount as premium to the insurance company. Consider this policy only if you feel no one in your family can handle a lumpsum amount after you.

Grace Period		You are allowed to pay premiums within 30 days of premium due date for Yearly/ Half-yearly/Quarterly premium payment and 15 days from premium due date in case of Monthly premium payment. If a due premium is not received within the grace period, your policy will lapse and the life insurance cover, including the rider cover, if any, will be terminated.
Lapsed Policy Reinstatement		You may reinstate your lapsed policy within 3 years from date of first unpaid premium by paying due premiums and undergoing underwriting requirements, if any.
