Features of Max Life Smart Wealth Income Plan
Besides the variants of the Max Life Smart Wealth Income Plan, there are other important features that make it a valuable financial solution for the modern-day policy buyer. Here are some essential features of Max Life Smart Wealth Income Plan that you should know about:
1.Policy Continuance Benefit##
While purchasing this plan, you can customise your protection cover by adding the Policy Continuance Benefit##. Your loved ones can be assured of financial security with this added benefit. It will provide your nominated beneficiary with a lump sum and the assurance that any remaining survival or maturity benefits will always reach them, without extra premium payments.
Simply put, if the life insured suffers an untimely demise, the policy will continue as it is. For example, if you've paid 5 out of the due 15 years of Premium, and death occurs in the 6th year, we will pay the premiums for the remaining years, keeping all benefits intact.
2. Multiple Variants Available
There are options for Early Income, Early Income with Guaranteed~Money Back, and Deferred Income plans, as discussed. All these choices include built-in guarantees as well as cash bonuses. You can also add the Policy Continuance Benefit## to any of the variants to ensure that your family's financial security is never compromised.
**This bonus will be payable, if declared.
