How Does the Takaful Membership Operate ?

IGI Life - WTO's takaful model is based on the Wakalah-Waqf principal. Individuals in the community come together for a common purpose and contribute into a Waqf Fund operated by a Takaful Operator to protect themselves against future financial losses.

Surplus Sharing

Participants of the Takaful fund, as per the terms and conditions of the Waqf, may be entitled to a share of possible surplus funds Takaful offers a unique feature of Surplus Sharing to the Participants in addition to risk mitigation benefits. As approved by the Shari'ah Advisor and Appointed Actuary at the end of each year, IGI Life - Window Takaful Operations will determine surplus (if any) available in the PTF for distribution.

Protection Benefit

In the unfortunate event of death, the higher of Account Value or Sum Covered (less any partial withdrawals) PLUS Account Value of TOP UP (if any), is payable.

The Sum Covered amount will be a multiple of the Basic Contribution depending on the age of the customer as follows:

    Top Up Contributions (TOP UP)

    The Plan is a regular Contribution plan but you may top-up the regular Contributions by depositing surplus funds as lump-sum Contribution in the Plan. These lump-sum Contributions, called "Account Value Acceleration Contribution" (TOP UP) payments can be made at any time. The TOP UP payments will increase the Account Value of the Plan, but will not affect the basic sum at risk.

    Continuous Coverage

    If you are not able to pay your Contribution after the first Membership year, your sum covered amount will still be payable as long as your account value is sufficient to pay for charges made against your Membership.

    Contribution Indexation:

    Indexation is an optional feature offered in this plan. Under this feature your contributions and sum covered will increase by a fixed amount every year leading to a better cash value accumulation and consequently a higher maturity benefit. Even once opted, you still have a right to decline the option and continue paying level contribution subject to certain terms and conditions.

    Withdrawal of Investment

    This plan provides you the option to withdrawal the cash value of your Membership, by encashing the number of units partially or completely after the first two Membership years.

    Partial Surrender

    The minimum partial withdrawal amount is PKR 10,000, and the maximum can go up to 50% of Account Value as long as an amount of PKR 250,000 remains in the Account Value. A partial withdrawal will, however, reduce the Account Value and Sum Assured Amount by the amount of partial withdrawal.

    Complete Surrender

    In case of complete surrender during the first two membership years, a surrender charge (as tabulated below) will be deducted. In such an event the units will be redeemed at the bid price and the membership will be terminated.

    Membership Year Extra Unit Allocation as % of

    Basic Contribution

    6 to 15 4%
    16 & onwards 5%

    Unit Pricing Methodology:

    The underlying funds are valued at market value on a daily basis. The Underwriting Department clears the applications/builds the membership. On each Unit Valuation Day (UVD) the total net contribution figure (reflecting contribution receipts, claims, withdrawals, and switching received is provided to the Accounts Department, which invests the Contribution in the mutual funds )to buy units for the umbrella funds on the same day.

    At the end of UVD, the NAV of the umbrella fund is re-calculated given the prices of mutual funds as of that date. The revised NAV is divided by the number of units in the umbrella fund to determine the revised bid price and another price (105% of the bid). The NAV of the additional investment made in the mutual funds is divided by the existing unit price of the umbrella fund (as calculated above) to determine the additional units added to the umbrella fund. The umbrella fund prices thereby calculated (based on the prices of mutual funds as at the end of UVD are input into the system the next morning and all transactions are accordingly carried out i.e. allocation of units with respect to Participation in Takaful Membership, surrender, switching etc. The umbrella fund prices which are put in the system are updated on our website every day for the knowledge of the participants and are also communicated to the field office to facilitate their Distribution of Takaful Membership.
