This plan offers two death benefit options to cater to diverse financial requirements. Mr Kapur can choose from a Life Cover or an Increasing Life Cover, depending on his preference.
1. Life cover
The base sum assured that Mr Kapur chooses at the policy’s inception will remain the same throughout the policy term.
2. Increasing Life Cover
The base sum assured that Mr Kapur chooses at the policy’s inception will grow at a simple rate of 5% annually, at each policy anniversary, subject to a maximum of 200% of the base sum assured. This life cover is ideal for managing the impact of inflation and increased cost of living.
In addition, the beneficiary of Mr Kapur’s policy may choose from different payout options at the claim stage. Since each family’s financial profile is different, the payout options allow them to receive the money on their terms per their preference.
1. As a Lump Sum
In the case of Mr Kapur’s untimely demise, his family will receive 100% of the guaranteed death benefit as a lump sum upon claiming at the claims stage with the Axis Max Life term insurance.
2. As Monthly Income
His family can receive the guaranteed death benefit as regular payments in 120 instalments or 120 monthly incomes to replace the income source. This option can work for families like Mr Kapur’s, where he is the sole wage-earner. It will allow them to meet the monthly expenses and keep a steady flow of income.
3. Part Lump Sum and Part Monthly Income
This option for the payout allows Mr Kapur’s family to receive the guaranteed death benefit as a lump sum amount and a monthly income. They can choose the proportion of the death benefit payable as a lump sum, and the remaining death benefit will be payable as a monthly income.
Benefits of Axis Max Life Smart Secure Plus Plan

Death Benefit
You can establish a strong financial support system for your loved ones with the Life Cover or Increasing Life Cover option offered by Axis Max Life Smart Secure Plus Plan. This plan allows you to choose from variants and ensure that the sum assured is adequate even for the coming years. With the options for customisation available, you can cover all your bases and keep your family secure and financially stable during challenging times. Since the primary objective of any term plan is to cover the insured individual’s life and financial liabilities, it is crucial to choose the life cover option carefully. Make sure you map your financial requirements for the future well and select the life cover option that aligns with your objectives fittingly.Terminal Illness Cover
As part of this term insurance plan benefits, your financial needs will be taken care of if you are diagnosed with a terminal illness. In such a scenario, 100 % of the guaranteed death benefit (capped at 1 crore) will be paid to you upon certification by a medical practitioner.Maturity Benefit
Suppose you opt for the return of the premium variant with a smart secure plus plan at the time of purchase. In that case, it entitles you to receive a maturity benefit upon surviving the policy term. With this option available, you can receive the total premium paid at the end of the policy term.Accident Cover
Under this benefit, the insured's family receives the cover amount and base cover in case of the insured individual’s demise due to an accident. You can add this cover to your term plan (Axis Max Life Smart Secure Plus Plan) at any time during the premium payment term, subject to the conditions for the accident cover.Joint Life Benefit
If you are looking for a policy that can take care of your spouse’s needs after you, this may be a preferred choice. A significant concern when buying term insurance is the financial care of your spouse in case of an unfortunate event. Therefore, choosing a policy like the Axis Max Life Smart Secure Plus Plan can give you peace of mind. When buying the Axis Max Life Smart Secure Plus Plan, you can choose a joint life cover to secure your partner’s life and yourself. Here’s how it would work:- In case your spouse meets with an untimely demise before you or is diagnosed with a terminal illness, a guaranteed death benefit of Rs 10 lakhs will be payable to the beneficiary. The primary life cover will continue at a reduced premium and the original sum assured chosen by you will be payable to your spouse in the payout option of their choice.
- In case you suffer an unfortunate incident before your spouse, and if in the future, they are diagnosed with a terminal illness or pass away, the guaranteed death benefit of Rs. 50 lakhs will be payable to the nominee. Additionally, it comes with a built-in premium waiver, meaning premiums will be waived off for your spouse’s sum assured upon your demise. Riders for Additional Benefits.

How do Joint Life Policies work?
With this feature you can cover your spouse, at inception at nominal premium. Under the Joint Life option, both you (Primary Life) and your spouse (Secondary Life) are covered. This option needs to be chosen at the inception of the Policy. Let’s understand this better with the help of an example

2. Health Component
Axis Max Life term insurance (Axis Max Life Smart Secure Plus Plan) comes with a terminal illness benefit that entitles you, the insured person, to the sum assured of up to Rs 1 crore in case of diagnosis of a disease. Without a plan like Axis Max Life term insurance (Smart Secure Plus Plan) that offers 100% of the sum assured in case of a terminal illness (capped to 1 Cr), you may face an immense financial burden to cover the respective medical expenses.
Health-related expenses are the most significant financial drain in a person’s life. It may be unpleasant to think of yourself or your family suffering, but being financially prepared for such situations is crucial. Therefore, Axis Max Life offers a critical illness, which can further strengthen the cover and provide valuable financial assistance to you. Additionally, the health component of the Axis Max Life term plan is a desirable advantage, considering the rise in cases of critical illnesses in recent years.
3. Flexibility of Claims Payout
It offers the flexibility of claims pay-out to your beneficiary to receive the sum assured as per their requirements in case of the insured’s untimely demise. They can opt to receive the death benefit as a lump sum amount, regular payments to replace the monthly income source or as a combination of both (as per the nominee’s choice).
Since term insurances are long-term protection plans, the needs of your family may have transformed by the time they receive the death benefit. So, the availability of multiple pay-out options can help them use the money according to their needs at the time. For instance, they can take the lump sum amount if there is a significant expense, such as a child’s college fees to be paid.
