Who And How To Inscribe?
The door is wide open: from the age of 18 to 100 (depending on the option), so the total minimum premium should amount to Rs. 1 lakh (Rs. 50,000 in case of some special categories). Upper limit is not capped but is subject to underwriting. Jointly can be husband and wife, siblings, or father and son.
Lifelong Benefits
The death benefits differ. Yes, beneficiaries get a refund or a continuation, as the case may be. Therefore, whoever receives them seeks continuance, leaving no unfinished business. What about the tax benefits? No big deal, as deductions in Section 80C of the Income Tax Act are available for payment of premium, whether by you or your spouse. Partial withdrawals will ensure some liquidity, available whenever you need it when the storm clouds gather.
