3 PLAN at a GLANCE This life insurance plan offers Whole Life cover to Age 100 plus a Guaranteed Survival Benefit payable at the end of the term selected by you. Both your life cover and your survival benefit will grow with Monthly Additions accrued at the end of each policy month as long as you pay your due premiums. You customize your policy to suit your particular insurance and savings needs by choosing: The Sum Assured which represents the amount of life insurance cover to Age 100 The GSB Term which represents the accumulation period of your policy. During this period, your premiums are payable every year and at the end of this period, the Guaranteed Survival Benefit shall be paid to you In the event the life insured dies during the GSB Term, we shall pay to the nominee The Sum Assured plus Monthly Additions accrued to date In the event the life insured survives to the end of the GSB Term, we shall pay to you The Guaranteed Survival Benefit plus Monthly Additions accrued to date; plus If the life insured subsequently dies, the Sum Assured shall be paid to the nominee; or If the life insured survives to Age 100, then the Sum Assured shall be paid to you The premium is payable during the GSB Term only. If you discontinue paying premiums after having paid for at least three full years, your policy will not lapse but continue on a Reduced Paid-Up basis. Eligibility Criterion Entry Age (age last birthday) 1 to 65 years Policy Term Whole Life to Age 100 Minimum Sum Assured Rs. 100,000 GSB Term Minimum GSB Term Maximum GSB Term Premium Paying Term 5 to 35 years Attained Age at GSB Term is 18 or more Attained Age at GSB Term is 75 or less Regular Pay during the GSB Term Your premium and your policy benefits will depend on the amount of the Sum Assured you select. For easy reference, your Sum Assured is banded as follows: Sum Assured Band Band 1 Band 2 Band 3 Band 4 Sum Assured (Rs.) 100,000 to 199, ,000 to 399, ,000 to 799, ,000 +

4 YOUR GUARANTEED BENEFITS Guaranteed Death Benefit In the event the life insured dies during the policy term, we shall pay the Sum Assured to the nominee as the Death Benefit. The policy shall be terminated once the Death Benefit is paid. Guaranteed Survival Benefit In the event the life insured survives to the end of the GSB Term, we shall pay to you as a Survival Benefit, the Guaranteed Survival Benefit, as shown below. The policy continues even after the Survival Benefit is paid. The Guaranteed Survival Benefit (per 1000 of Sum Assured) is: GSB Term Sum Assured Band GSB Sum Assured Band Band 1 Band 2 Band 3 Band 4 Term Band 1 Band 2 Band 3 Band Guaranteed Maturity Benefit In the event the life insured survives to the end of the policy term, we shall pay to you the Sum Assured as the Guaranteed Maturity Benefit. The policy shall be terminated once the Maturity Benefit is paid.

5 Reduced Paid-Up Benefits Under Reduced Paid-Up, all your Guaranteed Benefits shall be reduced in proportion to the premiums actually paid to the total premiums payable during the GSB Term. For example using a GSB Term of 25 years, if you discontinue premiums after 5 full years, then the Guaranteed Benefits shall be reduced to 5/25 or 20% of their original values. MONTHLY ADDITIONS During the GSB Term and while due premiums have been paid in full, your guaranteed benefits will grow with Monthly Additions accrued at the end of each policy month. The total Monthly Additions accrued to date shall be payable at the end of the GSB Term or upon death of the life insured if sooner. At the beginning of each policy year, your policy will be assigned the latest Monthly Addition Rate declared by us. Once this Monthly Addition Rate is assigned to your policy at the beginning of its policy year, it shall be guaranteed for the next 12 months and used to calculate your Monthly Additions during the upcoming policy year. Depending on our expectations with regards to future economic conditions, we shall declare new Monthly Addition Rates on April 1st of every calendar year. The currently declared Monthly Addition Rates are as follows (annual rate per 1000 of Sum Assured): GSB Term 5 to 10 Years 11 to 15 Years 16 to 20 Years 21+ Years Currently Declared Enhancement to Monthly Additions For GSB Terms beyond 21 years and if Monthly Additions have accrued for more than 21 policy years, the accrued Monthly Additions payable as a Death Benefit or a Survival Benefit shall be enhanced by the following percentage: Sum Assured Band Band 1 Band 2 Band 3 Band 4 For Each Policy Year Exceeding % 5.00% 6.25% 6.75% For a GSB Term of 25 years, Sum Assured of 250,000 (Band 2) and assuming that the Monthly Addition Rate remains unchanged, the Monthly Additions accrued after 23 years and 3 months is 250,000 x 233/12 x 45.0 / 1000 = 261,563. This amount will be enhanced by 5% for each policy year exceeding 21 or by (24 21) x 5% = 15%. As a result, the total amount payable is 261,563 x 115% = 300,797.

6 Reduced Paid-Up Benefits Under Reduced Paid-Up, your accrued Monthly Additions to the date of premium discontinuance will not be reduced but there will be no further accrual. The accrued Monthly Additions to the date of premium discontinuance shall be paid at the end of the GSB Term or upon death of the life insured if sooner. In continuation of the previous example, if you discontinue premiums after 233/12 years, then Rs. 300,797 will be kept constant and paid at the end of the GSB Term or upon death of the life insured if sooner.

7 YOUR TOTAL BENEFITS Death Benefit In the event the life insured dies during the GSB Term, we shall pay to the nominee Guaranteed Death Benefit; plus Monthly Additions accrued to date; plus Enhancement to Monthly Additions, if applicable In the event the life insured dies after the GSB Term, the nominee shall receive the Guaranteed Death Benefit. The policy shall be terminated once the Death Benefit is paid. Survival Benefit In the event the life insured survives to the end of the GSB Term, we shall pay to you Guaranteed Survival Benefit; plus Monthly Additions accrued to date; plus Enhancement to Monthly Additions, if applicable The policy continues even after the Survival Benefit is paid. Maturity Benefit In the event the life insured survives to the end of the policy term, we shall pay to you the Guaranteed Maturity Benefit. The policy shall be terminated once the Maturity Benefit is paid. Additional Insurance Benefits Furthermore, you can enhance your insurance coverage during the GSB Term by adding one or more of the following riders: BSLI Accidental Death and Disability Rider (UIN: 109C018V01) BSLI Critical Illness Rider (UIN: 109C019V01) BSLI Surgical Care Rider (UIN: 109C015V01) BSLI Hospital Care Rider (UIN: 109C016V01) BSLI Waiver of Premium Rider (UIN: 109C017V01) Please refer to detailed brochures on riders, consult your financial advisor or visit our website for further details.

8 YOUR BENEFIT ILLUSTRATION Some benefits are guaranteed and some benefits are variable with returns based on the future performance of your company (BSLI). If your policy offers guaranteed returns then these will be clearly marked "guaranteed" in the illustration table on this page. If your policy offers variable returns then the illustrations on this page will show two different rates of assumed future investment returns. These assumed rates of return are not guaranteed and they are not the upper or lower limits of what you might get back as the value of your policy is dependent on a number of factors including future investment performance.
