Edelweiss Tokio Life launches 'Edelweiss Tokio Life-MyLife+'

The minimum entry age for the policy is 18 years and the product offers two death benefit options; Lump-sum benefit option and Income benefit option. One can choose between a combination of both the options as well, depending on the family’s need, level of financial literacy & stage of life. 

 

Therefore the kind of benefits that one could avail are as follows:

Lump-sum benefit option: Under this option, a lump-sum benefit equal to the sum assured will be paid on death of the life insured and policy will terminate.

 

Income benefit option: Under this option, 1% of sum assured will be paid every month for the next 130 months starting from next month from the date of death.

 

A combination of both the lump-sum benefit and the income-benefit.
