On non-payment of premium, a Regular Pay policy will be treated as lapsed with no benefit payable.
Such a policy can be revived to its full value within five years from the due date of the first unpaid premium by paying all due and unpaid policy premiums (along with the interest) to date and by giving ABSLI satisfactory evidence of insurability in respect of the Life Insured. ABSLI according to it’s Board approved underwriting policy will decide whether to reinstate the policy to its full value. The effective date of the revival is when these requirements are met and approved by the Company as per the Board approved underwriting policy. On the effective date of the revival, all the benefits will be restored to their full value.
The monthly interest rate charged on unpaid premiums will be declared by ABSLI on June 1st of each calendar year and is determined as (x+1%)/12 rounded to the next 0.5%, where x is the base rate of the State Bank of India. The interest rate, as declared on June 1st, 2022, is 1% per month.
Any change in basis of determination of interest rate for revival can be done only after prior approval of the Authority.
