why Critical Illness is Important
Medical advancements over last two decades have significantly improved the survival rate of individuals. Individuals suffering from critical illness conditions are more likely to survive and recover these days, which is great for all of us. However, if you were diagnosed a medical condition then it may take significant emotional and financial toll on you and your family.
If you become sick with an illness covered under your Critical Illness Insurance Policy and survive the waiting period then the policy pays a lumpsum cash amount so you can focus on your treatments and recovery.
what is Return of Premium Rider
A Return of Premium (ROP) Rider can be purchased with your policy which allows you to get your full or partial premiums back. There are three types of riders that can be purchased with your policy.
Return of Premiums on Death: Premiums are returned if the insured dies within policy term without making a critical illness claim.
Return of Premiums on Expiry: Premiums are returned if the policy expires and the insured does not make critical illness claim.
Return of Premiums on Cancellation or Surrender: Partial premiums are returned If the insured decides to surrender or cancel their policy during their policy term and no claim has been made.
