If policy is surrendered after the date of commencement of risk, the guaranteed surrender value is 30 % of premiums paid after commencement of risk together with 90 % of premiums paid before the commencement of risk. Premiums for the first year and the premiums for Premium Waiver Benefit, if any, will be excluded.

Corporations policy on surrenders:

In practice, the Corporation will pay a Special Surrender Value – which is either equal to or more than the Guaranteed Surrender Value. The benefit payable on surrender is the discounted value of the reduced claim amount that would be payable on death or at maturity. This value will depend on the number of premiums paid and the duration at which surrender value is calculated. In some circumstances, in case of early termination of the policy, the surrender value payable may be less than the total premium paid.

The Corporation reviews the surrender value payable under its plans from time to time depending on the economic environment, experience and other factors.
