Loyalty additions are paid as a one-time benefit in some policies in lieu of a simple reversionary bonus (SRB). The main difference is that, unlike the simple reversionary bonus, which becomes a part of the policy benefits as and when it is declared, loyalty additions shall be available to the policyholder only at the time of exit from the policy. In other words, declared loyalty additions become applicable only to the policies getting exit, by way of death, surrender, or maturity, in the declared year (subject to the conditions of the plan).
