New Delhi: Max Life Insurance, one of the leading life insurer in India, today announced the launch of the ‘Max Life Forever Young Pension plan’ and ‘Max Life Guaranteed Life Time Income Plan’- a unique pension planning solution, with features based on extensive consumer research. This solution ensures a carefree and financially-secured retirement for an individual and the spouse.
Speaking at the launch, Mr. Rajesh Sud, CEO & Managing Director, Max Life Insurance, said “In a proprietary study conducted by us, we unearthed an unaddressed consumer need that planning for retirement is complete only if the pension solution caters to the need of self and spouse. Additionally, the research also revealed that the consumer is concerned about the impact of inflation on retirement corpus. Through these products, we have tried to address these needs by introducing features like ‘Max Life Partner Care Rider’ and the ‘Save More Tomorrow’ option.”
“At a yield of 8% in the accumulation phase and our current annuity rates in the pension payout phase, a 35-year old individual, who invests in this plan and pays around Rs. 5,000 per month for 25 years, is likely to get an income of Rs. 20,000 per month as lifelong pension. This pension will continue up to the time the customer or his/her spouse are alive. Additionally, a legacy gift of around Rs.35 lakh would be payable to the nominee, in-case he chooses the Return of purchase price option,” he further added.
The ‘Max Life Forever Young Pension Plan’ is a unit-linked plan with a minimum guaranteed return of premiums that helps in accumulating a retirement corpus. The ‘Max Life Guaranteed Life Time Income Plan’ is an annuity plan that helps utilize the retirement corpus to guarantee an income for life. Together this retirement solution provides guaranteed lifetime income for an individual and his/her spouse.
The pension plan exhibits unique features — ‘Max Life Partner Care Rider,’ a rider benefit offered by Max Life Insurance, which will safeguard the completion of the plan for the spouse in case of an untimely death of an individual during the accumulation phase. The ‘Save More Tomorrow’ option will enable the individual to increase her/his savings component in a disciplined manner every year to mitigate the effects of inflation on the pension.
