SBI Life Saral Shield -Decreasing Term Assurance (Loan Protection)

	Objective		This policy aims to cover insured's family against a loan overhead.
What does it do?		This policy is specially designed to cover loan liability. If anything happens to the insured member, the insurance company pays sum assured equal to the outstanding loan amount to the nominee of the insured. The sum assured is calculated on the basis of loan schedule. Policyholder can choose a sum assured and interest rate closest to the loan amount and interest. The choice of available interest rates includes 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18 and 20 per cent. For example, if policyholder has taken a loan at 10.25 per cent, he may either select 10 or 12 per cent as rate of interest to prepare loan schedule under this plan. Similarly, the policyholder can select the sum assured nearest to the loan amount in multiple of Rs 50,000. The policy can be surrendered and surrender value will be calculated on the basis of predefined formula. The policy doesn't offer any survival or maturity value.
Pros		The plan offers rebate on high sum assured. Taxation benefits as per Section 80C.
Cons		Premium can be paid in single installment only.
Suited for		The policy is suitable for those who have to repay a loan and wish to insure against the same.
Our View		If you have a loan to repay this policy makes sense as it will protect your family from the burden of repaying the loan if something untoward happened to you. Single premium payment is a drawback. It may prove to be expensive as compared to regular premium payment option as you lock-in a large amount for a fixed cover. The reason we say this is because in case something goes wrong in early years of the policy, you have already paid a huge chunk of amount as premium to the insurance company. Choose a regular premium payment or limited premium payment mode while buying a loan cover. Limited premium payment mode allows you to pay premiums for a term less than the policy tenure like two-third of policy term or any other term mentioned in the policy.

Grace Period		You are allowed to pay premiums within 30 days of premium due date for Yearly/ Half-yearly/Quarterly premium payment and 15 days from premium due date in case of Monthly premium payment. If a due premium is not received within the grace period, your policy will lapse and the life insurance cover, including the rider cover, if any, will be terminated.
