Non-negative claw-back Additions: Gross Yield: Actual Accrual of all income elements i.e. Premiums, Income from investment less all actual debits i.e. Partial withdrawal made. Net Yield: Projection of policyholder s at Gross yield calculated above by considering Allocation, Management and Policy Administration charges only. Following charges are assumed to be zero for calculation of Net Yield throughout the term: Mortality Charge Accident Rider Charge All other Charges i.e. Miscellaneous, Switching & Partial withdrawal charges. Service tax Charge Reduction in Yield (RIY): Reduction in Yield (RIY) is the difference between Gross Yield and Net yield. Maximum RIY allowed: There is a cap on RIY due to Allocation, Management and Policy Administration charges as per table given below: Maximum Reduction in Yield (RIY) Allowed No of years elapsed Before Maturity On Maturity 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 & above 4.00 3.75 3.50 3.30 3.15 3.00 2.75 2.75 2.50 2.50 2.25 - - - - - 3.00 2.25 2.25 2.25 2.25 2.25 If the calculated RIY is more than maximum RIY allowed, then equivalent number of units shall be added to the Policyholder s fund in such a way that the calculated RIY is equal to Maximum RIY. It is called as Non-negative claw-back addition. The number of units to be added will be as per NAV declared as on date of Non-negative claw-back addition. If the calculated RIY is less than maximum RIY allowed, then there will be no addition in fund value. Example: Age- 35, Term - 20 years, Yearly Premium: ` 20000, Growth, Assumed Gross yield-8%. Gross Yield @8% : ` 20,000 invested @8% for 20 years will create fund of ` 9,88,458 Maximum Reduction in Yield allowed due to expenses towards allocation, Administration and Management Charges is 2.25% Net Yield = Gross Yield Maximum Reduction in Yield Allowed. Net Yield = 8 2.25 = 5.75% Net Yield @5.75% = ` 20,000 invested @5.75% for 20 years will create fund of ` 7,57,427 If calculated Net Yield by considering expenses towards allocation, Administration and Management Charges is less than ` 7,57,427, then difference will be added to the Value. This addition to fund value is called as Non- negative claw-back addition. If calculated Net Yield is more than ` 7,57,427 then nothing will be added. Under Above Example Calculated Net Yield is 6.59% ( RIY-1.41%): ` 20,000 invested @6.59% for 20 years will create fund of ` 8,35,795. This is well above the required amount. So nothing will be added to fund value. In fact charges of LIC are very less and chances of calculated RIY being more than maximum RIY allowed are completely eliminated. So Non-Negative Claw-back is for academic purpose only. Projected maturity amount after considering all the expenses (Including mortality, Rider, taxes etc) under the plan @8% Gross Yield comes to ` 8,06,625. This gives Net yield of 6.29% and Net reduction will be 1.71%. This again is well below the maximum RIY allowed i.e. 2.25%. Net yield and Reduction in Yield @8% Gross Yield on maturity will be mentioned under every Benefit Illustration.
