On revival of the policy, all benefits under the policy will become payable to the Policy Holder as per the terms and conditions of the policy from the date of revival. Method of caluclation of Unit Values (Valuation of Unit Linked Funds) The unit pricing shall be computed based on whether the company is purchasing (appropriation price) or selling (expropriation price) the assets in order to meet the day to day transactions of unit allocations and unit redemptions.

When Appropriation price is applied: The NAV of a unit linked fund will be the market value of investments held by the fund plus the expenses incurred in the purchase of the assets plus the value of any current assets plus any accrued income net of fund management charges less the value of any current liabilities less provisions, if any. This gives the net asset value of the fund. Dividing this by the number of units existing at the valuation date (before any new units are allocated), gives the unit price of the fund under consideration. When Expropriation price is applied: The NAV of a unit linked fund will be the market value of investments held by the fund less the expenses incurred in the sale of the assets plus the value of any current assets plus any accrued income net of fund management charges less the value of any current liabilities less provisions, if any. This gives the net asset value of the fund. Dividing this by the number of units existing at the valuation date before any units are redeemed, gives the unit price of the fund under consideration. Units will be created in the Investment Fund/s on receipt by the Company of the Policy Premium (except First Premium) alongwith a local cheque/demand draft payable at par at the place where the premium / application for switch is accepted by us on the following basis: the same days closing Unit Price shall be applicable if received before the Cut-off time (the Same Day) the next days closing Unit Price shall be applicable if received after the Cut-off time (the Next Day) In respect of Policy Premiums (except First Premium) received with outstation cheques/demand drafts at the place where the premium is accepted by us , the closing unit price of the day on which cheques/ demand draft is realized shall be applicable. In respect of First Premium, the applicable Unit Price will be of the date of commencement of policy or date of realization of the amount by the Company, whichever is later. If the Same Day or the Next Day or the due date of the instalment premium is not a Valuation Date, then the Company shall apply the Unit Price of the next immediate Valuation Date. Units will be cancelled from the Investment Funds, when an application (including in respect of claims, discontinuance, maturity, switch, partial withdrawal) is received by the Company: at the same days closing Unit Price (the Same Day), if received before the cut-off time. at the next days closing Unit Price (the Next Day), if received after the cut-off time.

Company will follow the rounding off rules as given under for the computation of unit price and number of units: Unit Price will be computed to four decimal places. Number of Units will be computed to six decimal places. Cut-off time is 3 p.m. as stipulated by IRDA. Assignment and Nomination: Assignment: An assignment of the Policy can be made by an endorsement on the Policy itself or by a separate instrument signed in either case by the assignor specifically stating the fact of assignment and duly attested. The first assignment can be made only by You. Assignment shall be effective, from and upon the service of a written notice to the Company, together with the endorsement or instrument or a copy thereof, duly certified to be correct by both the assignor and the assignee. Assignment will not be permitted where the policy is issued under the Married Womens Property Act, 1874 and conditions apply to assignments of policies issued to partnerships or Hindu Undivided Families. Nomination: You may at any time during the Policy Term make a nomination for the payment of the benefits under the Policy in the event of your death. Where the nominee is a minor, an Appointee, who is not a minor, will necessarily, be appointed by You to receive the death benefits during the minority of the nominee.

The Nominee can be changed by the You at any time during the term of the Policy and any such change shall vacate earlier nomination automatically. Nomination will not be permitted if You are not the Life Assured under the Policy. (iii) The Company does not express any opinion on the validity or legality of the assignment or nomination. An assignment cancels a nomination automatically. In absence of the nominee, the Death Benefit will be paid to your legal heir. Investment Fund Closure / Modification The Company reserves the right to close / modify any Investment Fund at any time by giving a three month written notice of its intention to close/ modify the Investment Fund and from the date of such closure/ modification the Company will cease to create or cancel Units in the said Investment Fund (Closing Investment Fund). Closure/ modification of an Investment Fund will be on the happening of an event which in the sole opinion of the Company requires the said Investment Fund to be closed/ modified and such closure / modification of an investment fund shall be subject to prior approval of IRDA. The Company will require the Policy Holder who has invested in the Closing

Investment Fund to replace it with another Investment Fund/s (Replacing Investment Fund) in the format specified by the Company and before the date specified in the written notice of the Company. Upon receiving Policy Holders confirmation, units in the Closing Investment Fund allocated to the Policy will be cancelled on the last Valuation Date of the Closing Investment Fund. The Company will create Units in the Replacing Investment Fund/s, with proceeds from the cancellation of the Units in the Closing Investment Fund on the last Valuation Date of the Closing Investment Fund. If the Company has not received the confirmation as above from the Policy Holder for modification of policy Investment Fund allocation before the closure of the Investment Fund, the Company will: Switch policy funds from the Closing Investment Fund to the most conservative Investment Fund then available; and change Allocation Proportion in such a way that the percentage of allocation of premium to the Closing Investment Fund is added to the percentage allocated to the most conservative Investment Fund option then available. Currently the most conservative Investment Fund option is Secure Fund. The Company would however declare the most conservative Investment Fund option from time to time depending upon its then current Investment profile.
