In an era marked by rapid change, rising aspirations and increasing responsibilities, financial security has evolved beyond mere wealth creation to encompass certainty, stability and peace of mind. Responding to this growing need, SBI Life Insurance, one of India’s most trusted private life insurers, has launched SBI Life – Smart Platina Advantage, a guaranteed savings life insurance plan designed to provide long-term financial confidence and protection across every stage of life.

Positioned as an individual, non-linked, non-participating life insurance product, Smart Platina Advantage combines assured savings with life cover throughout the policy term. The plan enables individuals to build a disciplined financial corpus while enjoying predictable and guaranteed benefits, insulating their long-term goals from market volatility. With assured additions credited every policy year, the product offers clarity and certainty in financial planning, making it suitable for milestones such as children’s education, retirement planning, second-income creation and long-term wealth accumulation.

The product stands out for its flexibility and customer-centric design, allowing policyholders to pay premiums for a limited period while continuing to receive life insurance coverage for the entire policy term. At maturity, customers can choose to receive proceeds in instalments, ensuring post-maturity liquidity and sustained financial flexibility. In addition, the plan offers tax benefits as per the applicable provisions of the Income Tax Act, 1961, further enhancing its appeal as a comprehensive savings solution.

Commenting on the launch, M.

He noted that SBI Life – Smart Platina Advantage has been crafted to combine life protection with guaranteed benefits that customers can rely on irrespective of market fluctuations. Emphasising the company’s long-term vision, he added that the plan empowers individuals to future-proof their promises, pay premiums for a limited duration and still enjoy secure, guaranteed outcomes, reflecting SBI Life’s commitment to strengthening financial resilience across Indian households.

Designed for individuals who prefer stability and structure in their financial journey, Smart Platina Advantage also offers settlement options and optional riders to address evolving needs over time. By blending guaranteed savings with life insurance protection, the plan supports disciplined wealth creation while safeguarding loved ones against life’s uncertainties.

With this launch, SBI Life reinforces its enduring promise of ‘Apneliye, Apno Ke Liye’, reaffirming its role as a trusted partner in helping customers build guaranteed savings, unlock peace of mind and secure lifelong financial protection for themselves and their families.
