How Long is the Grace Period?
The duration of the grace period depends on the policy terms and premium payment frequency. It typically ranges from 15 to 30 days. For monthly premium payment modes, the grace period is generally 15 days, while for quarterly, half-yearly or annual modes, it is usually 30 days.
Key Takeaways
Most insurers offer a grace period of 15 days for monthly premiums and 30 days for quarterly, half-yearly, or annual premiums before the policy lapses.
What to Do After the Grace Period Ends?
To restore coverage, you must apply for policy revival (also called reinstatement) by paying all overdue premiums along with applicable interest. The insurer may also require you to submit a revival application form and, in some cases, undergo fresh medical underwriting depending on the duration of the lapse and policy terms.
Should you Buy a New Policy or Reinstate the Old One?
You will need to undergo the insurer's underwriting process again, which may include medical examinations and fresh documentation. You must pay overdue premiums, interest, and any applicable revival charges before the policy can be restored.
What to Do After the Grace Period Ends?
If you fail to pay your premiums even after the grace period ends, then your policy may lapse due to non-payment of premiums. Once a policy lapses, the life cover and associated benefits generally cease.
Consequences of Premium Non-Payment across Policy Types
The policy generally lapses after the grace period, and the life cover ends. Once lapsed, no death benefit is payable unless the policy is successfully revived, subject to the insurer's terms and conditions.
