SBI Life – Smart Shield Plus, a term insurance plan offering three options — Level Cover, Increasing Cover, and Level Cover with Future Proofing Benefit — allowing policyholders to tailor coverage to their changing financial and personal needs
The Increasing Cover Benefit option automatically increases the sum assured at 5% simple rate p.a. up to a maximum of 200% of the sum assured. The Level with Future Proofing Benefit option allows policyholders to increase their sum assured at significant life events such as marriage, childbirth, or home purchase, without any further medical underwriting.
The product also provides flexible death benefit payout options, including lump sum, instalments, or a combination of both, to the nominee.
The offering is further enhanced by optional features, including the Better Half Benefit, providing the surviving spouse an additional life cover of Rs 25 lakhs or 50% of the Sum Assured chosen by the life assured at inception (whichever is lower), ensuring continued financial security after the life assured’s demise.
In such cases, the death benefit applicable for the Life Assured is paid, no further premiums are payable, and the spouse’s cover begins and continues till the attainment of 60 years of age. The product also offers SBI Life- Accident Benefit Riders, covering accidental death and partial permanent disability, to ensure comprehensive financial protection in the face of unexpected events.

As individuals take on evolving responsibilities, they increasingly seek insurance solutions that are both comprehensive and adaptable.
