State Life Insurance Corporation of Pakistan has launched innovative Golden Endowment Plan for catering modern day needs of policy holders, said Shoaib Javed Hussain, SLIC chairman while addressing a press conference at a local hotel on Friday.
“It is a comprehensive limited premium payment term plan that offers enhanced financial benefits. One of the major reasons why one should buy this plan is that it does not require a commitment of paying premiums for the entire term of the policy. Short-term savings can be used to provide the funding for the first seven years while availing full benefits for the 20 years of the policy. It includes death along with survival benefits, higher returns and tax benefits”, he said, adding that he would be the first buyer of this futuristic plan launched as part of the golden jubilee celebrations of the most successful state owned enterprises in the country.
