ICICI Life EzyGrow launched with 2X and 3X Premium Funding Benefits to Keep Family Goals on Track

• Combines enhanced premium funding options, financial protection, market-linked returns and retirement planning features under one policy
• Designed to help families stay on track with their long-term financial goals

MUMBAI, India, Nov. 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ --ICICI Life Insurance today announced the launch of ICICI Life EzyGrow, a unit-linked insurance plan (ULIP) with enhanced Waiver of Premium (WOP) where in case of an unforeseen event the company will invest two or three times (2X and 3X) of future pending premiums on customer's behalf. The benefit is designed to help families stay on track with their long-term goals such as a child's education or a spouse's retirement, while building an additional financial cushion to help meet unforeseen needs. This plan will be distributed online through exclusive partnership with Policybazaar.

Commenting on the launch of ICICI Life EzyGrow, Mr. Srinivas Balasubramanian, Chief of Marketing, Digital & Bancasurance, ICICI Life Insurance, said, "As customers navigate different stages of life, their financial priorities evolve and so do their aspirations for the future. With multiple goals to plan for - from wealth creation and family protection to retirement – customers increasingly seek simpler ways to bring their financial planning together. Guided by our customer-first philosophy and a deep understanding of these evolving expectations, we have launched ICICI Life EzyGrow, a comprehensive solution that brings wealth creation, family protection and retirement planning together under a single policy, making long-term financial planning easier and more seamless.

By combining market-linked investment opportunities with enhanced Waiver of Premium benefits, benefit continuity for the nominee and retirement planning options, ICICI Life EzyGrow simplifies the journey towards achieving long-term financial goals. It enables customers to plan for their aspirations, protect their loved ones and secure their family's future through one integrated solution, offering greater convenience, confidence and peace of mind, representing our endeavour towards making their Har Kal Aasaan.

Vivek Jain, CBO of Life Insurance at Policybazaar said, "Long-term financial goals require consistency, but life does not always go according to plan. A key concern for customers investing towards goals such as a child's education or spouse's retirement is whether those investments will continue if the earning member is no longer able to contribute. Enhanced Waiver of Premium options can address this gap by helping ensure that the financial plan stays on track even in the face of an unforeseen event. The 2X and 3X premium funding helps in building an additional financial cushion to help meet unforeseen needs.

With features such as 2X and 3X premium funding, along with market-linked wealth creation and retirement planning option through SWP with whole life policy term, ICICI Life EzyGrow brings together multiple aspects of long-term financial planning in one solution. As customers increasingly look for products that combine protection with the ability to build wealth, such solutions can make financial planning more resilient and goal-oriented."

Enhanced premium waiver options to help sustain financial goals

ICICI Life EzyGrow offers funding of premium options with 1X, 2X and 3X multipliers. Under the enhanced 2X and 3X variants, upon death of the Life Assured, future premiums are funded by ICICI Life at two or three times the premium, depending on the option selected. This feature is designed to help maintain contributions towards long-term goals, including a child's education or spouse's retirement, when a family may have limited capacity to invest.

ICICI Life EzyGrow also includes a Family Income Benefit, providing dependents with additional yearly income to help meet day-to-day expenses and maintain financial stability. Alongside its protection, premium funding and retirement planning features, the plan offers market-linked investment opportunities, return of policy administration charges and Maturity Boosters to support long-term wealth creation.

Retirement planning with flexible withdrawal options

For customers planning their post-retirement years, the Retirement/Whole Life option supports the creation of a retirement corpus and offers a Systematic Withdrawal Plan (SWP) from any age. Customers can receive withdrawals as a fixed amount or as a percentage of the fund value. Additional flexibility is available through partial withdrawals facility, enabling access to funds when required.

Provisions for continued policy management in absence of the Life Assured

In case of the death of the Life Assured, nominee(s) may continue to manage the policy, including permitted fund switches, premium redirection and partial withdrawals. This allows policy management to continue in accordance with the plan's provisions ensuring that the set financial goal of the family is not compromised.

Backed by a claim settlement ratio of 99.3% in H1-FY2027, with an average turnaround time of 1.1 days for non-investigated claims, ICICI Life Insurance continues to focus on swift and reliable service for its customers.
