Hi Please provide the authentic information only. as risk cover start immediately in jeevan shikhar policy not after 5 years

Wrote :

06-05-2016 14:07:31

Nowhere it is written like that, kindly read it correctly. Risk does not start immediately in all cases, for example, if policy holder is less than 8 years of age, then risk will start on completion of 8 years of age while risk will start immediately in case the policy holder is older than 8 years.
Five year is significant because loyalty addition will be applicable only 5 years after buying the policy.
