Max Life Group Gratuity Premier Plan

Every growing organization has some financial and legal responsibilities towards its employees. Gratuity is one such significant liability paid to employees after successful 5 years completion in the company. In a way, it is a retention tool encouraging employees to stay in the organization for a longer duration. Every company has to have sufficient funds to fulfill the gratuity needs of their employees at the right time. As employee strength increases, managing gratuity payments become more expensive and unmanageable. Getting an effective gratuity plan is imperative to retain employees.

 

Max Life Group Gratuity Premier plan is one such great employee retention tool which facilitates employers to fund their gratuity liability through good market-linked returns. This plan helps you to deliver long term results for your investments depending upon the performance of the funds chosen by you.

 

3 reasons why this is an ideal plan for employers:

  • Meet your obligations under the Payment of Gratuity Act 1972 with good market-linked returns
  • Pay low maintenance charges with good market-linked returns
  • Manage large scale gratuity payment effectively with complete assistance from the company

Step 1: Create a Trust to administer gratuity scheme

The employer first creates a trust and appoints trustees to administer the gratuity scheme. However, it may be noted that the trust may or may not be created by the employer. Therefore under the Policy, either Trustees or the employer can be a Policyholder.

Step 2: Make Initial contribution based on actuarial advice

The Policyholder pays an initial contribution (in respect of any past service gratuity liability of the employer) & annual contribution  in respect of any gratuity liability accruing in respect of the service completed by the employees in the current policy year) to Max Life Insurance Company towards gratuity liability.

These contributions may be paid at the time of the policy issuance or at any time during the first five policy year in not more than five annual installments.

These payments would normally be based on upon the actuarial advice to the Trustees by an Independent consulting actuary (who is not employed by Max Life).

Step 3: Choose your Investment Strategy

The Policyholder can invest the contributions in any of the 4 investment funds viz. Conservative Fund, Balanced Fund, Growth Fund and Bond Fund offered by Max Life Insurance. Upon choosing the fund, a unit account is opened and managed for the policyholder in which units are allocated following the receipt of contributions and canceled for the purpose of paying gratuity benefit and charges.

Units will be deducted from the unit account to pay out the policy charges and the gratuity benefit amount (other than the life insurance benefit) determined by the trustees.

A member on either leaving service due to retirement/ resignation or on death/disability during the service, or any other such event that may terminate the employment after five years, Max Life Insurance will pay the benefit by redeeming the units in the investment funds to pay the gratuity benefit.

The condition of continuous service of five years is not necessary if the termination of employment is due to death or disablement. The contributions and benefits under the product will be applicable as per scheme rules.

Please note that the maximum liability of company shall be limited to the unit account value of the policy.
