Visit www.dhflpramerica.com to know more about us and our products.
Living life, in the present and future.
There are many things we desire immediately when we are doing well. After all, we work hard for our money and in the prime of our lives, these things are much deserved.
The TV with a larger screen on your wall. The car that’s one class higher than the one you’re driving. The holiday destination abroad your boss went to last year.
Life is fast paced, with a constant pressure on you to better your lifestyle.
It happens to everyone.
Yet, like everyone else, at one stage in your life you will not be working. The certainty of that income coming in every month won’t be there. It is at that stage that the assets, investments and savings you have prudently
developed over your life will stand by you and help you maintain the quality of life. You only start planning your retirement as you grow older. That is human nature. Many a times in life, you are presented with an opportunity to secure such a crucial aspect of your life with one smart move. It only needs insight to spot that opportunity.
A wise and prudent decision.
When you have a large sum of money, it is tempting to indulge yourself and buy things that you so desire. But while spending a little money from a windfall and enjoying a bit is only natural, it is far wiser to take advantage of it to plan for the day when you will have no income. For the day when you are retired and a pension becomes a desirable and useful way to protect the quality of your life.
NOTE: IN THIS POLICY, THE INVESTMENT RISK IN THE INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO IS BORNE BY THE POLICYHOLDER.
DHFL Pramerica
It’s a Unit Linked Pension Plan that offers you a potentially higher return than conventional methods of savings. Along with a host of benefits. All with the advantage of a single premium that takes all the hassles out of planning.
No planning hassles. A single premium to cover a lifetime.
With as little as `45,000 you can become part of the DHFL Pramerica Golden Age+ Single Premium plan.
This wise investment, which can cover a tenure from 10 to 57 years just needs one single premium payment to start. No hassles of repeated payments, except if you choose, to top up with additional premiums. At the chosen retirement age, the policy proceeds may be used to buy an annuity. You may opt to to get a third of the value of your fund commuted to a tax free lump sum. In case of the insured person’s unfortunate demise, the Fund Value gets paid to the nominee.
One plan. Many advantages:
DHFL Pramerica Golden Age+ Single premium
• One time lump sum investment
• Flexibility to choose your retirement age (45 years - 75 years)
• Persistency Units: We will add 2.5% of the average single premium Fund Value of preceding 36 months to your Unit Account at the end of 10th policy year
• Fund Conservation at Maturity: You have the option to safeguard your Fund Value before maturity, we will switch your investments at regular intervals to Pension Debt Fund beginning 3 years from your chosen retirement
• Receive tax-free commutation up to 1/3rd of the Fund Value on retirement
• Avail tax benefits on premiums paid under the Income Tax Act, 1961 as applicable from time to time
How does the plan work?
• Choose a single premium amount you wish to contribute towards your retirement
• Select your vesting age (or retirement age) between 45 years and 75 years, subject to a minimum term of 10 years
• Top-Up (add money over and above your single premiums) any time during the policy term
• On survival till the retirement age, the Policy proceeds may be applied to buy an annuity under the Immediate Annuity Plan of our Company or from any other insurer of your choice
• You have an option to receive up to 1/3rd of the Fund Value Tax-Free, subject to prevailing tax laws, as a lump sum amount
The above illustration assumes 100% investments in Pension Balance Fund. The benefits above are net of all charges excluding applicable service tax. The actual investment return may vary in the Policy. Since your portfolio offers variable returns, the above illustration shows two different rates (6% p.a. and 10% p.a. as per guidelines of Life Council) as assumed future investment returns.
Benefits in Detail
Benefit on Vesting (or Maturity)
On vesting (or maturity) of the Policy at the chosen retirement age, you have the option:
• To purchase an annuity from the Fund Value, or
• To receive a lump sum amount up to 1/3rd of the total Fund Value tax-free, i.e. value of single premium units and Top-Up Units on the vesting (or maturity) date and apply the rest to an annuity
Benefit on Death
In case of the unfortunate event of death of the Life Insured, before the chosen retirement age, the nominee will receive the Fund Value, including value of Top-Up Units, if any.
Benefit on Surrender
You can surrender your Policy after completion of 3 policy years. The Surrender Value will be the Fund Value less surrender charges. There is no surrender charge applicable on the Top-Up Unit Account.
Persistency Units
Persistency Units will be allocated to the Single Premium Unit Account at the end of the 10th policy year. An amount equivalent to 2.5% of Average Fund Value pertaining to Single Premium Unit Account at preceding 36 months would be allocated to your Unit Account at the end of 10th policy anniversary. There are no Persistency Units on Top-Up premium.

Presenting
Explained below is the concept with the help of an illustration:
A customer enters at the age of 30 years and plans to stay invested for a period of 30 years, i.e, his vesting age is 60 years. When he is 57 years of age, he enters into the last 3 years of the Policy. Here, he has 70% in Pension Dynamic Equity Fund. This equity component is transferred in six half-yearly installments into Pension Debt Fund. Hence the Pension Dynamic Equity Fund allocation reduces from 70% to 58% by the middle of third year and so on till it falls to 0%
and the allocation in Pension Debt Fund becomes 100% six months before maturity.
Persistency units allocated (if any) during this period will be re-directed to Pension Debt Fund. Switching would be allowed during the last three policy years only if the policyholder opts out of this option.
Flexibilities Available in the Plan
• Option to change the vesting age
The policyholder shall have the option to extend or reduce the vesting age, three months before the vesting chosen at inception. This option can be exercised by the policyholder anytime after attaining
the age of 45 years subject to a maximum age of 75 years.
• Top-Up Premiums
To boost your investments, you can pay additional premiums which will be invested in your chosen investment funds. Top-Up Premiums will be allocated to a Top-Up Unit Account and the minimum Top-Up Premium is `5,000. There is no restriction on maximum Top-Up Premium.
• Switching option
You can switch your investments within funds, depending on your financial priorities and investment decision. In any year, 4 switches are available free of cost. The minimum switch amount is `5,000 unless 100% of the fund is switched.
• Partial withdrawals
To manage any unexpected need for money or for any exigency, partial withdrawals can be made from your investment account after 5 policy years. There is a three years lock-in period for each Top-Up Premium payment made except for the last three years. First partial withdrawal in a policy year is available free of cost. Up to 5 partial withdrawals during the entire term of contract would be allowed. Any partial withdrawal will first be made from Top-Up Unit Account, if any and if eligible, followed by the Single Premium Unit Account, if required, subject to tax laws as applicable. The minimum withdrawal amount is `10,000. The remaining Fund value after withdrawal should not be less than 50% of Fund Value just before withdrawal subject to a minimum of 50% of the single premium).
