Niger Cash Plan

The “Niger Cash Plan” is a package deal in one single plan. The policy is designed to provide the holder with income in the form of cash payments at regular intervals as well as cash benefits for the protection of the holder and/or the family in the natural course of events (i.e. survival, disability death and accidental death).

This “Plan” is therefore unique. By virtue of its special structure, it is an ideal policy for a progressive young man or woman. While the premium payable by the policy-holder is competitive the benefits are sufficiently attractive and these are summarized below.

  1. Regular Cash payments on survival.

  2. Lump sum cash payment at death.

  3. Family Protection.

  4. Accidental Death Benefit

  5. Waiver of Premium Disability Benefit.

  6. Guaranteed Insurability Option (GIO).

This Plan also guarantees death benefit payable to the beneficiaries. In the event of death at any time before the maturity of either a 10 or 15 year plan, the full basic sum assured plus accumulated profits up to the date of death is made payable to the beneficiaries. This payment is made without prejudice to any payments already made to the policy-holder while alive.

4.    Family Protection

In case the life assured dies before policy matures this Plan provides adequate financial protection for the family o the deceased. In addition to the cash payments already made (in the form of regular cash benefits plus the death benefit) an amount equal to 20% of the basic sum assured shall be payable annually in arrears for 10 years as from one year after the death of the life assured. Alternatively, this amount would be commuted for cash on request.

6.    Waiver of Premium Disability Benefit

The Waiver of Premium Disability Benefit is part of the basic policy, granted to the policy-holder subject to our underwriting rules. Should the life assured become totally and permanently disabled due to any cause i.e. either from accident or sickness, while the policy is still in force no further premiums shall be payable under the policy which shall remain in force for its duration.

7.    Guaranteed Insurability (GIO) Option

This guaranteed insurability Option is another benefit in built in the Niger Cash Plan. Under this module, the life assured may apply to the company every 5 years from the inception date of the policy for a second or third policy on the same condition as the original policy, without further evidence of  good health. This application must be entertained provided the life assured is 40 years of age or less and no premiums are being waived under the disability benefit.
