Max Life Insurance — Surrender Value is only 30% of my Premium (Traditional Policy)

Address:Chennai, Tamil Nadu

Hi, I am a policy holder with Max Life Insurance Company since yr 2005 and it's "Whole Life Participating Plan". My Annual Premium is around Rs. 11, 000 which is paid in 2 terms (Half Yearly). This is my 10th year I am paying my premium. When I inquired about the procedure to surrender my policy, they said that it's only 30% of my Premium Paid Amount ie. around Rs. 56, 000. In simple words, I'll be losing 50% of my Premiums Paid. I don't know on what basis, Maxlife can take 70% of my money into their pocket. The customer care executives also repeat the same answer what they see on their system(s). As per law, after Locking Perios, I should be getting at least my Premium Paid Amount (if not bonus) but they are excluding the first year's premium and also assuring only 30% of my paid amount. If I had paid my Income Tax I'd have ateleast saved Rs.90, 000 in my taxable income. So, I have consulted my lawer and working on to file RTI petition and also to reach out to RBI to get justification on this issue. Thanks Bala
