In addition, MFR, AIR and RA will allow for additional premiums / contributions net of withdrawals received into the policy account during the quarter on a pro rata basis. Contributions The Employer shall pay to the Company, in respect of each continuing Member, a contribution of such amounts as are sufficient to secure the Benefits (the Ordinary Contribution ). The Ordinary Contribution shall be paid in monthly, quarterly or semi-annual installments, as may be mutually agreed between the Company and the Employer.

The additional funding can be up to maximum of 3% of the initial contribution. In the instances where a policyholder has availed of additional funding, the additional funding will be recovered through a deduction from the policy account value. This deduction will be equal to 0.55% p.a. of initial contribution on which the additional funding has been opted till end of policy year in which the recovery is completed. The recovery period for various levels of funding is illustrated in the table below: Additional Funding as a % of the initial contributions 3% 2% 1% Deduction (in % p.a.) of the initial contributions 0.55% 0.55% 0.55% Recovery Period (in years) 6 4 2 In case of the surrender of the policy before the above mentioned recovery period, the unrecovered additional funding will be deducted from the policy account balance before paying the surrender benefits. Charges Mortality Charges There will be a mortality cover of Rs 1,000 per member. The mortality charge for the same will be `1 for the life cover offered in this Policy. Surrender Charges There will be a surrender charge of 0.05% of the policy account value less unrecovered additional funding (if applicable) with a maximum of `5,00,000, if there is surrender in the first 3 years of the policy. There will be no surrender charges after 3 years except MVA where applicable. Bulk Exits If the total amount on exit, due to any event, as defined in the scheme rules, in a policy year, exceeds 25% of the balance in the Policy Account, such an exit will be termed as Bulk exit. Market Value Adjustment (MVA) shall be applied only to the amount which is over & above the amount representing bulk exit. MVA losses (if any) shall be adjusted from Policy Account. Market Value Adjustment The market value adjustment is a factor to cover the market value losses of the underlying investment in relation to the balance in the Policy Account. MVA is applicable on complete surrender and Bulk Exits. Formula to arrive at the Market Value Adjustment (MVA) is: MVA amount = [Maximum (0, Policy Account Value Market Value) / Policy Account Value] * (Net amount which is over $ and above the amount representing Bulk Exit ) $ Net amount would represent full account value in case of complete surrender Where, Market Value is derived from the revaluation of assets at the time when MVA is carried out. The assets will be earmarked separately for this product. The MVA amount, if any, will be deducted from the Policy Account Value. Example: If the book value of the policy account is 10, 00,000 and the Market Value at the time of bulk exits is 9, 00,000, The MV loss is 10%. Let's say the requested amount for withdrawal is 4, 00,000 then the amount representing bulk exit will be (4, 00,000 25%* 10, 00,000) = 1, 50,000 MVA = ((10,00,000-9,00,000)/10, 00,000)*(1, 50,000) = 15,000
