Factors to Consider When Buying Shriram Life Retirement Plans

Shriram Life Retirement Plans include both annuity and assured income plans. There are plans that come with life protection and assured benefits together. So, you have to be sure about the kind of benefits you want before selecting the right type of retirement policy. You can also select policies that provide survival benefits and life coverage during the policy tenure and release the maturity sum at the end of the policy. 

This denotes the benefits you shall receive from Shriram Life Retirement Plans. You can select vesting benefits, assured payouts, cash bonuses, super income or annuities for a lifetime. Depending on your retirement plans and financial needs, you can select the Shriram Life Retirement Plan that best suits your requirements. 

Among the plans that provide maturity benefits, the sum assured released will also vary from ₹1.2 lakhs to a higher amount (subject to the company's board-approved underwriting policy). 

You can receive the benefits in different ways with Shriram Life Retirement plans. You can either go for regular earnings that are released annually from the date of policy maturity or a lump sum payout right after the policy maturity. There are plans that let you combine both and receive 50% of payouts as monthly income and 50% as a lump sum amount. 

Payouts can be in the form of lifetime annuities too, that are released to a single annuitant or joint life annuitants.

Depending on how long you want to get life coverage, you can select the policy tenure from 8 years to 75 years.
