HDFC Life’s “Click 2 Protect Elite Plus” is a modern, term insurance + smart benefits combo plan.
Key Features
1. Large cover, instant protection
- Complete protection on the basic sum assured.
- In the event of the policyholder’s death, the nominee receives 10x the premium / basic sum assured / 105% of the premiums paid so far – whichever is higher.
2. Return of Premium (ROP)
- If the policyholder survives the full policy term, all premiums are returned.
- That means protection and savings.
3. Smart Exit Benefit
If needed, you can discontinue the policy mid-term and get some premiums back.
4.Premium Break
