- How does SIP Plus works?
- In the first year of investment, the investor would get 10 times coverage of the invested value. For E.g., a Rs. 10,000 SIP would fetch the investor a coverage of Rs. 1,00,000.
- From the second year onwards, the said coverage would be raised to 50 times of Invested value. Thus, the Rs. 10,000 SIP would now give a coverage of Rs. 5,00,000.
- From the third year onward, the coverage would be raised to 100 times of the SIP value, subject to maximum of Rs. 50 Lakhs per investor.
- Let us look at this with the help of a table:
| AMOUNT INVESTED | INSURANCE COVER ON THE SAME | ||
| 1st Year | 2nd Year | 3rd Year onwards | |
| 5,000 | 50,000 | 250,000 | 500,000 |
| 10,000 | 100,000 | 500,000 | 1,000,000 |
| 20,000 | 200,000 | 1,000,000 | 2,000,000 |
| 30,000 | 300,000 | 1,500,000 | 3,000,000 |
