How Max Life Guaranteed Income Plan Works?

To understand how this insurance plan actually works, let us look at the following example:

Mr. Avinash Sharma is a 45-year old man working in an IT company. He buys Max Life Guaranteed Income Plan with 12 years of policy term because he wants assured income as soon as he finishes all the premiums. He is paying Rs. 1 lakh as annual premium and he chooses his wife as his beneficiary.

Now, take 2 different scenarios; 1^st where Mr. Sharma will survive till the end of the policy term and 2^nd  if he dies during the policy term.

1st scenario:  He will get survival benefits which is 200% annualized premium if he survives till the end of the policy term. He will also get the option to receive a lump sum amount instead of monthly income.

2nd scenario: He dies during the term of the policy, his nominee wife will get the option on how she would like to get the death benefits. She can either choose a lump sum death benefit which will be 105% of the premiums paid or 10 times the annualized premiums or she can go for the monthly income.
