What is Max Life Smart Secure Plus Plan?

It is a comprehensive life insurance plan that offers financial benefits personalised to the needs of new-age customers. Launched in April 2021, it is a non-linked, non-participating, individual pure-risk premium life insurance plan that offers policyholders multiple new benefits like the ‘premium break option’, ‘special exit value’, choice of claims payout for the nominee.

The plan offers customers an option to choose ‘special exit value’, under which they may choose to exit at a specified point to receive all premiums paid back for the base protection benefit.

Furthermore, customers can opt to take a break from paying the premium and still stay covered, twice during the premium payment term by choosing the ‘premium break’ option. The nominee has now been empowered by the choice of claims pay-out mode, at the claims stage among lump-sum, monthly income, part lump-sum, and part monthly income.

The product by Max Life comes at a time when a large section of customers is showing an inclination towards flexible, customizable financial protection.
