What are the benefits under this retirement plan?
Suitable benefit tables have been worked out with a lifetime limit ranging from Rs.1 lakh upto Rs.10 lakhs.

Thereafter, every five years fresh premium tables will be worked out and supplied to all these insured persons who join the schedule during the respective period.
