Recurring Option: The Endowment Plan with a recurring option is a life assurance policy designed in such a way that you benefit from an amount equivalent to 10% or 20% of the Basic Sum Assured every five years. At the end of the term of the policy, the full basic sum assured plus the accumulated bonuses are paid over and above previous payments. In the event of earlier death there will be the basic sum assured plus accrued bonuses which will be paid to your family.
