date), you shall receive a notice to exercise one of the following options -

exercise the option for withdrawal; The Fund Value shall be payable to you. In
case, the option for withdrawal is exercised after five years from
commencement, there shall be no discontinuance charge because of such
withdrawal. However, if the withdrawal option is exercised before completion of
5 years from commencement, the Monetary Value (Fund Value less
discontinuance charges) will be kept in Discontinued Policy Fund. This amount
shall earn a minimum interest of 3.5% pa and will be payable only on
completion of 5 years from date of commencement.

may be availed from the policy anniversary after completion of 18 years of age.
Partial withdrawals and loan are also possible from policy anniversary after
attainment of 18 years of age by the Life Assured.

Prospect: I think, this plan will be good for my child.
