Accidental Death Benefit Rider - Sum Assured is payable in case of death due to accident. This is in addition to the base sum assured
Permanent Disability Benefit - An additional sum equal to the sum assured, payable in instalments over a specified period of years, say 10 years. The future premiums are waived. It is neither a death claim nor a maturity claim. The policy does not end with the settlement.
Some insurers offer policyholders an option to collect the maturity benefit amount in instalments over a period of years. This option is also known as the settlement option.

The decision to admit or to repudiate a claim should be made within 30 days of receipt of all papers.
