A Quick Guide to Tata AIA Life Insurance Waiver of Premium Plus Rider

25-August-2021 |

There are no certainties in life and even the most well-thought-out plans do not always proceed as intended. One of the ways to financially safeguard your family against any eventualities is purchasing a life insurance policy. Having a suitable life insurance policy is a prudent financial choice. However, it is advisable to include the life insurance rider# of waiver of premium to your policy to ensure that it remains valid even if you fail to honour your premium payment obligations.

 

What is a waiver of premium rider#?

Since the validity of a life insurance policy is dependent on the regular payment of the premium by the policyholder, failure to do so can lead to the policy becoming lapsed. There can be several reasons why the policyholder may not be able to continue paying the premium for their life insurance policy, including a total or permanent disability or their death. In this context, a waiver of premium rider# functions as a lifeguard for the concerned policy and ensures its continuation despite the discontinuation of the stream of premium payments.

Therefore, adding the waiver of premium rider# to your life insurance policy ensures that even if you cannot pay the further instalments of the policy premium, the benefits of the policy shall stay intact. As is the case with a majority of the riders# in a life insurance policy, the waiver of premium rider# also carries a cost but is reasonable in comparison with the added layer of security it provides the policyholder. It is important to note that you can add a waiver of premium rider# to your policy if it is not already an in-built feature of said policy.

For instance, at Tata AIA Life Insurance, we offer waiver of premium rider#, namely the Tata AIA Life Insurance Waiver of Premium Plus Rider (UIN-110B029V02). While purchasing your Tata AIA Life Insurance Policy, you can add the Tata AIA Life Insurance Rider# to the plan and avail waiver of premium benefits if necessary.

These are some of the policies that the waiver of premium plus rider can be added to -:

 

  1. The Tata AIA Life Insurance Mahalife Gold Plan (UIN- 110N029V03)

  2. The Tata AIA Life Insurance Money Back Plus Plan (UIN-110N119V02)

  3. The Tata AIA Life Insurance Smart Income Plus Plan (UIN-110N126V04)

  4. The Tata AIA Life Insurance Gold Income Plan (UIN-110N131V02)

  5. The Tata AIA Life Insurance Diamond Savings Plan (UIN-110N133V02)

 
The salient features of the TATA AIA Life Insurance ‘Waiver of Premium Plus’ rider#

The Tata AIA Life Insurance Waiver of Premium Plus Rider(UIN-110B029V02) has been designed to offer policyholders the option of the waiver of the premium on their life insurance policy in some specific circumstances. Under this feature, the benefits of the insurance cover do not cease owing to the default in the payment of premium by the policyholder caused by their passing or the development of a total or permanent disability. Therefore, this rider# prevents your insurance policy from lapsing as a result of the aforementioned circumstances.

The Tata AIA Life Insurance Waiver of Premium Plus Rider(UIN-110B029V02) allows for the waiver of all the future premium instalments due on a life insurance policy in the event of the permanent or total disability of the policyholder or their demise. Therefore, the base policy shall continue till its maturity even without premium payments.
