Grace period for premium payment

The grace period is the additional duration given to policyholders to pay the premium due to their policies. During the grace period, the policy does not lapse. If the premiums are paid, the policy continues undisturbed but if the premium is not paid even within the grace period, the policy would lapse. The grace period allowed under most life insurance policies is as follows –

  • 30/31 days (1 month) if the premium is paid annually, half-yearly or quarterly
  • 15 days if the premium is paid monthly

So, pay your premiums conveniently and renew your life insurance policy without fail. An in-force policy allows you full death or maturity benefits and even bonus additions during the policy tenure. Max Life has also eased the premium payment modes allowing you easy ways to pay the premiums. So, pay the premium within the due date or within the grace period and enjoy the coverage your life insurance policy has to offer.
