Max New York Life Insurance today announced the launch of “Premium Return Term Plan,” an extremely affordable yet the most comprehensive protection plans available in the market today. The “Premium Return Term Plan” is a limited premium payment term plan that not only provides financial security for the family but also a refund of 100% of all premiums on policyholder’s survival, but is also the first such plan to have an inbuilt accidental death benefit rider.
Speaking on the launch, Mr. Rajesh Sud, CEO and Managing Director, Max New York Life Insurance said, “Life Insurance is the foundation of a sound financial plan and at Max New York Life Insurance we keep the consumer needs at the forefront when designing our products.
India is an underinsured market with low per capita spends on life insurance. Research indicates that while people are increasingly becoming aware of the true value of life insurance and willing to secure their financial future, they are also not willing to forego the premium paid in case of survival. In addition, as per data published by State Crime Records Bureaux (SCRBx), it is also been noted that the incidence of accidental deaths has increased to 50% in the year 2010 as compared to 2000. The Max New York Life Premium Return Term Plan has been designed keeping in mind these very requirements of consumer needs”.
With this product being targeted towards the mass affluent category, we complete our gamut of protection offering. Premium Return Term Plan is a transparent and simple plan, which guarantees satisfaction and security to every policyholder.” He further added.
