New Jeevan Shanti is for a person who wants to pay once now and start a fixed pension after a chosen wait. The waiting years are a real gap in income, so keep money for current expenses outside the amount committed to this policy instead of expecting pension from the first month.
Set the pension start age first
The current version allows entry from thirty to seventy nine years and a wait from one to five years, with pension start age capped at eighty. Those limits work together, so someone near the upper entry age cannot choose every waiting period that a younger person can select.
Waiting years change the contract quote
The pension quote is fixed when you buy the chosen single or joint life option, based on the accepted details and waiting years. If you need pension without that chosen wait, compare Jeevan Akshay, while checking how the two policies differ in death benefits and access to money.
Separate the death floor from pension income
For ten lakh rupees purchase money, the stated death benefit floor of one hundred and five percent is ten lakh fifty thousand rupees. The full death formula can give a higher amount and also considers its other terms; that floor should not be read as a yearly pension rate or a maturity promise.
FAQ
Q: Can the current New Jeevan Shanti wait twelve years before pension?
A: No. The current version described here permits one to five waiting years, subject to the pension start age limit. Older descriptions should not override that schedule.
Q: Is Shanti death addition a flat return on my deposit?
A: No. Its death benefit addition follows the policy formula during the waiting period. It is different from earning a fixed deposit interest rate on your purchase money.
Q: Does a Shanti joint life choice end pension at the first death?
A: The selected joint life option provides the stated survivor pension under its terms. Check both covered lives and the final death benefit in the issued schedule.
