What is the formula for the surrender value of Postal Life Insurance Policy(PLI)?
Surrender value= Paid up value +Bonus x surrender Factor as per table.
** Paid up value = Number of premium paid x sum assured/ Total number of premium payables.
Age – Age at the time of surrender application.
For Example:-
Policy acceptance date 01.01.2015
Age at the time of policy acceptance:- 25 yrs
Your date of birth is 26.10.1990
Date of surrender:- 20.01.2022
Sum assured of policy Rs. 200,000/-
Policy type- Santosh EA-55
Age at the time of surrender: – 32 yrs
Surrender factor as per table – Age 32, Policy EA-55 Factor is :- 0.339 ( at s.no 89 of the table in pdf)
Paid-up value: – 200000×84/360=46666
Bonzs on paid-up value – (2015 to 2021) 7yrs on paid up value i.e 46666 = 2426×7=16982 (52 per 1000)
Surrender value= Paid up value +Bonus x surrender Factor as per table.
Surrender value =46666+16982=63648×0.339=21576/-
Postal Life Insurance (PLI ) Surrender Value Calculation Sheet:-
Normally when you apply for surrender a PLI policy, the post office sends a surrender value calculation sheet to you to confirm the surrender value acceptance. In this sheet surrender value calculation is available, however, after the final surrender of your policy a surrender value calculation sheet is also generated. It surrender value is correctly calculated by the system.
Postal Life Insurance (PLI )Surrender Value After 5 Years:-
If PLI policy is surrendered after 5 yrs it includes the bonus as a bonus is payable only after 5yrs. Normally initial year of policy is mostly a premium amount put in the risk fund, however, as the policy premium period increases our risk cover also increases year by year. ( Bonus + Sum assured) Like Policy Sum assured 5 lakh:-
1yrs – 500,000+ 0 bonus total Risk Cover- 5 lakh
5th year – 500,000+ 130000 (5200 per lakh)= 6,30,00 Risk cover.
So initially mostly premium goes to the risk cover fund, and PLI is liable to pay the premium from day one of the acceptance of the policy, hence surrender value is much less and allowed only after 3yr.
Postal Life Insurance (PLI )surrender value after 10 years:-
If the PLI policy is surrendered after 10 yrs and your total period of the policy is 20 yrs, surrendering a policy after half the period of the total term may recover your paid premium. However, during this period it covers your life risk.
Hence surrender is not desirable and it is a loss to your investment and life goes with risk cover.
However if due to financial condition, you are thinking for surrendering your policy, explore the following option:-
- Think of taking a loan against the policy instead of surrendering, the loan amount will be less as 80% of the surrender value.
- If a premium is too much, ask PLI to decrease the premium or sum assured of the policy.
- If the period of premium payment is too long say EA/60, the premium payment period may be decreased however premium will increase.
