Annuity (Pension)
Plans
When an employee retires he no longer gets his salary while his need for a regular
income continues. Retirement benefits like Provident Fund and gratuity are paid
in lump sum which are often spent too quickly or not invested prudently with the
result that the employee finds himself without regular income in his post - retirement
days. Pension is therefore an ideal method of retirement provision because the benefit
is in the form of regular income. It is wise to provide for old age, when we have
regular income during our earning period to take care of rainy days. Financial independence
during old age is a must for everybody.
There are two types of annuities (pension plans):
- Retirement-Immediate
Annuities: In case of immediate Annuity, the Annuity payment from the
Insurance Company starts immediately. Purchase price (premium) for immediate Annuity
is to be paid in Iumpsum in one installment only.

Annuities: Under deferred Annuity policy, the person pays regular contributions
to the Insurance Company, till the vesting age/vesting date. He has the option to
pay as single premium also. The fund will accumulate with interest and fund will
be available on the vesting date. The insurance company will take care of the investment
of funds and the policyholder has the option to encash 1/3rd of this corpus fund
on the vesting age / vesting date tax free. The balance amount of 2/3rd of the fund
will be utilized for purchase of Annuity (pension) to the Annuitant.
