Upon maturity, she will receive the last 25% of the sum assured along with any bonus if applicable. The sum assured will be paid out in multiple installments in the 5th, 10th, 15th, and 20th year and the last 25% will be paid in the 25th year along with bonuses if applicable.
In case of her unfortunate death any time within this period, her child will receive 100% of the sum assured amount plus all accrued bonuses. This is on top of any and all survival benefits already availed.
