How long am I covered?
You can purchase this plan if you are between the age of 18 and 60 years old. This plan is an automatic yearly renewable term coverage up to the age of 80 for the Life Assured based on the payment of the appropriate premium. The Death Benefit covers the Life Assured up to the age of 80 while the coverage for both Total Permanent Disability and Additional Accidental Death ceases upon the Life Assured attaining the age of 69.
Your premiums are calculated based on your age and the plan you select. The insured can continue their coverage as long as the premium is paid, so continue to pay your premiums till the age of 80 if you want to be covered.
