ICICI Life Signature Plan Benefits
There are various benefits to buying the ICICI Life Signature Plan. Let's understand each of the benefits of this ULIP plan in detail:
- Improved Wealth Creation Features: The plan adds back premium allocation charges every 5 years, provides guaranteed wealth boosters from year 10, and rewards some higher contributions with additional units in Premier and Exclusive plans.
- Transparent Charge Structure: The plan lists all charges clearly, including premium allocation charges, policy administration, mortality, and fund management charges. It may also include discontinuance charges and nominal switching or partial withdrawal charges.
- Long-Term Protection and Wealth Planning: The plan offers Whole Life cover up to age 99 for lifelong protection and legacy planning. Additionally, a Systematic Withdrawal Plan (SWP) allows regular fund withdrawals after the 5-year lock-in period.
Customizable Plan Levels
You can choose plan levels such as Advantage, Premier, or Exclusive based on premium, each providing different levels of Value Benefits.
Maturity Payout Options
With the Settlement option, you can receive maturity proceeds in periodic payouts over 1 to 5 years instead of a lump sum.
Smart Portfolio Management
Choose from four portfolio strategies, including a Lifecycle-based strategy that automatically manages your investments according to your age.
Child Care Income Benefit
A regular income is paid to support daily expenses and the child's education after the policyholder's death.
Smart Exit Option
You can exit the plan after age 60 and receive the base premiums paid, helping recover policy costs if cover is no longer required.
Exclusions
- If the life assured dies by suicide within 12 months of plan commencement or revival, the death benefit is not payable. Only the available fund value, including the top-up fund value, will be paid.
- The policy has a mandatory five-year lock-in period, during which partial withdrawals or policy surrender are not permitted.
- The policy may terminate if the fund value becomes zero after five years due to unpaid premiums or poor fund performance.
- In extreme situations such as natural disasters, war, or market closures, the insurer may defer fund valuation or policy servicing for up to 30 days.
