The Safety Switch Option enables the policyholders to move funds systematically to a relatively low risk Liquid Fund for stable returns and the Auto Fund Rebalancing option helps in maintaining a level of safety in the portfolio by investing specific proportions across funds. The loyalty additions start from the 5th policy year and partial withdrawal is available to meet any contingency.
