How much premium will have to be paid
Suppose 30 years Ramesh takes postal insurance plan Santosh. He has chosen Rs 5,00,000 as sum assured. Ramesh wants to get the maturity of the policy when he is 60 years old. Accordingly, the term of his policy will be 30 years because at the age of 30 he has bought a Santosh policy. Accordingly, Ramesh will have to pay premium for 30 years. If Ramesh opts for the monthly premium payment mode, then he will have to pay Rs 1332 in the first year. Due to lower GST in the second year, the premium amount will be Rs 1304. If Ramesh wants to pay the annual premium, then he will have to pay Rs 15,508.
13 lakhs will be available on maturity
Ramesh will pay a total premium of Rs 4,55,51 during the 30 years of his policy. When the 30 years of the policy are completed, Ramesh’s policy will be completed and he will get paid on maturity. As maturity, Ramesh will get Rs. 5,00,000 of Sum Assured and Rs. 7,80,000 of Bonus. In this way, they will get a total of Rs 12,80,000.
