Dear Mr. Chaitanya Kumar Vummethala,

We refer to your email dated 02/11/2011.

A LifeTime Gold policy acquires surrender value after the payment of full premium for the first policy year Since the Risk Commencement Date (RCD) for your policy is 27/02/2008 the policy acquired surrender value on 27/02/2009. 

However, the surrender value would be payable only after completion of 3 policy years or whenever the policy is surrendered thereafter:

Surrender Value payable if the policyholder pays:

Less than 3 years'' premium          Value Payable

Less than 1 year                            No surrender value

Between 1 year - 2 years               25% of Fund Value

Between 2 years - 3 years             40% of Fund Value

Complete policy years         Surrender Values as a % of Fund Value

3 Years                                          98%

4 Years                                          99%

5 Years and above                        100%

Below mentioned are your current unit holding, as per the NAV declared on 02/11/2011

Fund Type          Unit Balance            Latest NAV                       Estimated Value

Multiplier            XXXXXXXXX               9.82000                          XXXXXXXXXX 

Hence, the current surrender value calculated for your policy is Rs: XX/- (98% of Fund Value).

The value of units fluctuates as per market conditions and depends on the NAV, which is declared on a daily basis.

Surrender procedure:

In order to surrender the policy, we request you to kindly visit the nearest branch and submit the below mentioned documents:

Surrender payout request form

Self attested id proof

Signed original cancelled cheque of core bank account (Account number should not be less than 5 digits)

 Note: If the cancelled cheque of core bank account is not available, you can provide IFSC / MICR code or Bank Statement/Bank Passbook /Bank confirmation letter.

Electronic Payout Mandate (EPM) form  (Mandatory to mention the IFSC / MICR code in the EPM form in order to process the payout)

If you do not have the original policy documents, kindly submit the Indemnity bond which needs to be typed on a Rs.200/- stamp paper, along with a service charge of Rs.200/- at the nearest branch of ICICI Prudential for a copy of the policy documents.

Following is the list of documents that can be collected as valid KYC documents:

Passport (current)

PAN Card (current)

Voter''s Identity Card (current)

Driving License (current)

Ration card with photo

All government issued proofs bearing symbol of Ashok charka

The surrender value would be determined based on the Net Asset Value (NAV) declared on the date we receive the surrender request.

In case you surrender the policy before 3 pm then you will get the same days NAV however if you surrender post 3 pm then next working days NAV would be applicable.

Note: proposer of the policy should submit the surrender request by visiting the branch personally.
