Key Features
GAIN has three distinct plans to meet customer requirements. The short-term and long-term income options provide parallel income and a lump sum at maturity. The early income option offers immediate income with a final benefit equal to 100 per cent of total premiums.
The plan provides life insurance for financial stability, an alternate savings source to secure goals, and a guaranteed regular income with premium return flexibility.
Of late, the life insurance industry has upped its game to drive more value for customers in the backdrop of several changes in tax rules for investments. Life insurance products get a deduction of up to Rs 1.5 lakh in the old tax regime under section 80C of the Income-tax Act, 1961. However, insurance products may have come under pressure after the government introduced the new tax regime with reduced tax rates and zero benefits, such as the ones under 80C.
