"iGuarantee offers guaranteed returns for a period of six years, after the policy term.
"It is an ideal plan for a medium-term investor who needs the security of growth, without undue risk. It is a short premium paying term plan that allows customers to enhance savings," Gopalakrishnan told the news agency.
Exclusively available online, iGuarantee insurance plan comes with a maturity benefit in the form of a yearly guaranteed payout, which is 135% of the annual premium, for a period of six years starting after the policy term.
