Any accrued paid-up additions and terminal bonuses, if applicable, would also be provided.
Survival Benefit- if the Life Assured survives the policy term, he/she stands to receive benefits in the form of either a cash payout (where bonuses are paid in cash) or paid-up additions (where the bonus amount would be used to buy paid-up additions and accumulate a corpus).
Simple Reversionary Bonus- this bonus is a percentage of the Sum Assured on maturity and could be declared at the end of a financial year. These bonuses are not guaranteed but any bonus declared will vest from the first policy year to the end of the premium payment term and can be paid out as cash pay-outs or be accumulated to buy Paid-Up Additions (guaranteed benefits payable on death or maturity).
Cash Bonus- the cash bonus is a company declared additional bonus that could be declared at the end of a financial year and is payable till the end of the policy term/death/surrender of the policy. This will be applied on Accrued Paid-Up Additions as well.
Interim Bonus- if a claim is filed mid-way through a financial year or before the declaration of the Simple Reversionary Bonus and Cash bonus for the financial year in which the claim is filed, an interim bonus could be payable based on the company’s discretion.

Tax Benefits- policyholders can avail tax benefits under Section 80C and Section 10 (10D) of the Income Tax Act, 1961 subject to the specified conditions under the particular sections.

You will also be required to choose a Bonus option- either cash payout or paid-up additions.
If you have selected the cash payout bonus option, the Simple Reversionary Bonus will be accrued during the premium payment term and will be paid out as a lump sum at the end of the premium payment term. Any cash bonus will be paid out at the time of policy maturity/death/surrender of the policy, whichever is applicable.
If you have selected the paid-up addition bonus option, Paid-Up Additions (PUA) will be bought with the bonus amount.
