e – Account - introduction
The e-Account is a mandatory feature of the policy during the policy term. This is an extension of the concept of providing health check ups under health
insurance policies. This plan is for the benefit of the child. Apart from the financial assistance, the
overall progress of the child also requires engagement in various educational activities (educational games, educational books, school uniforms, periodic advice on career planning etc). We are only providing means for availing such services. Providing such services helps in achieving ultimate motive of insurance plans for the children i.e. taking care of overall growth of the children.
The services will be available to all the policyholders. The primary means of providing these services will be through web portal. However, for those policyholders who do not have access to the web portal, the information will be supplied regularly through pamphlets. Request for purchase of an item can be made through web portal or through our customer care centres.
The funds allotted for such services are a small percentage of the total fund.
A Reliance Capital company
e – Account - introduction
If the amounts in e Account are not utilized for purchase of services, it will be invested in the unit funds at the choice of the policyholder and will accrue investment returns like any other unit fund balance.
The balance in e Account is paid to the policyholder in cash on maturity of the policy, death of the child or on surrender of the policy.
It helps in connecting the policyholder i.e. the parent and the child with the policy. This will help in increasing the persistency.
The e-Account will not operate during the settlement option.
A Reliance Capital company
e – Account - workings
1% of Premiums (excluding extra or additional premiums) paid every year under Base plan and under top ups will be transferred to an account called e-Account.
As a Guaranteed Addition, the Company will also contribute 1% of Premiums paid every year (excluding extra or additional premiums) under Base plan and under top ups towards the e-Account.
Anytime during the tenure of the policy, the amounts in e-Account. can be utilized for availing of the benefits offered by the web based community mentioned later.

Availing benefits of the web based community will not affect the capital guarantee under the Regular Premium Base policy.

e-Account is a part of policyholder’s account only and is earmarked separately in the system.
There will not be separate unit values for e Account. Rather, part of the funds New Fund G, New Fund H, New Equity Fund, New Mid-Cap Fund, New Infrastructure Fund, New Energy Fund and New Pure Equity fund will be earmarked towards e-Account within each fund.

e – Account – points determination
The e-points are derived from the e-Account value.
