Reinstatement

A. What if my policy lapses?
B. What are the reinstatement requirements?

 


What if my policy lapses?

Your plan lapses when you fail to pay your premium within the grace period. The policy then ceases to provide any coverage.

 

There are two ways in reinstating your policy:

  • Pure Reinstatement
    In Pure Reinstatement, you need to pay all back premiums and interest charges.
  • Redating
    In Redating, the policy date is moved to a more current date so only one modal premium needs to be paid.

Provided that:

  • This will be done only once.
  • Policy has not earned cash values.
  • Policy has not been lapsed for more than 2 years.
  • Any increase in premium has to be paid if change in effective date results to a higher age.
