The NAV as on the date of application for surrender or as on the date of discontinuance of the policy, as the case may be, multiplied by the number of units in the Policyholder's Fund (i.e. after deduction of Discontinuance Charge, if any) as on that date, will be the monetary amount.

C. Calculation of Proceeds of the Discontinued Policy Fund:
The Proceeds of the Discontinued Policy shall be higher of Discontinued Policy Fund Value or the Guaranteed Monetary Amount. The Guaranteed Monetary Amount is the accumulation of monetary amount transferred into the Discontinued Policy Fund at the guaranteed interest rate.
