Pension Plans
What are Pension Plans?
Pension plans help you create a steady and dependable income after retirement, ensuring financial independence during your golden years. With rising life expectancy and increasing living costs, planning for retirement income has become more important than ever.
At Novasure, we help you understand pension plans clearly and choose the right retirement income solution based on your age, income, and long-term goals.
Pension plans are financial products designed to provide regular income after retirement. You invest during your working years or at the time of retirement, and in return, the plan pays you a pension—either monthly, quarterly, or annually.
Pension plans are focused on income stability, not wealth creation.
Types of Pension Plans
Deferred Pension Plans
Build your retirement corpus over time and receive pension after retirement.
Immediate Pension Plans
Immediate pension plans start paying pension immediately after a lump-sum investment.
Annuity Plans
Annuity plans provide guaranteed income for life or for a fixed period, depending on the option chosen.
