Pension Plans

Today, you are living comfortably. There is a regular inflow of income and your bills are paid on time. In fact your necessities are taken care of, without you having to worry about them.

Therefore you need to plan your retirement today itself. Presenting the AEGON Religare Pension Plan. It provides you with a regular pension that will help you take care of the much needed basic necessities, post-retirement. Invest in AEGON Religare Pension Plan and be assured of a secure tomorrow.



How does the plan work?


Step 1: Choose your retirement age.
Step 2: Consult our Life Advisor to know what should be your retirement amount.
Step 3: Decide the amount of premium you wish to pay every year from the flexible options.
Step 4: Invest your premiums in the ‘Lifestyle Fund’ option, a Fund that systematically minimises the risk to your returns by reducing the equity exposure throughout the policy term. Alternatively, you can choose to invest your premiums in any of our 5 Funds.



Premium Options


Increasing Premium
The Increasing Premium Payment option is a feature that takes into consideration inflation. As inflation rises, the value of your money falls thereby reducing your purchasing power. Therefore, it becomes important that as time elapses, you should built a corpus that has the value and purchasing power that you have always wanted.
Under this variant, you can choose to pay regular premiums which increase by 5% or 8% of the first year premium every year.



Level Premium
If you choose Level Premium, the amount of regular premium that you pay every year remains fixed till you reach the vesting age.
E.g. The graph below shows you how opting for the Increasing Premium Option at 5% and 8% over a period of time will help you in increasing the amount you get at vesting.


Net Asset Value

The graph above shows you how opting for the Increasing Premium option at 5% and 8%, over a period of time will help you in increasing the amount you get at vesting. The graph above shows that the returns are 47% more when 5% Increasing Premium is opted for and 76% more when the 8% Increasing Premium is opted for, as compared to the Level Premium option.
