Extremely happy to FBS (FAMILY BENEFIT SOCIETY)

Salient Features of Family Benefit Society of IAP 1. Society was launched in March 2011 - to offer substanal financial support to the bereaved families of an IAP life member, who has joined FBS. 2. Currently, the benefit amount is 7.6 lakhs to its 2210 members. As more life members of CIAP join FBS, the benefit figure increases. The DEATH BENEFIT figure is a mulple of Rs. 350 and the number of exisng alive members in FBS, at the me of a member's death. 3. Family benefit is expected to cross NINE lakhs by end of 2020. Finally, by year 2030, we aim at a disbursement amount of Fieen lakhs. Family's benefit is fully secure, irrespecve of the Cause of Death - natural, accidental or suicide. 4. Currently, the age-group eligible to join FBS is 25 - 60 years. Admission fees varies from 9,000 at lower age to 46,000 when age reaches 60. 5. Aer admission, all the FBS members ARE AT PAR, in all aspects. 6. All members are billed an annual FC bill, generated in consideraon of number of deceased FBS members in the previous year. 7. The annual bills in the last 7 years have been Rs3200 as maximum. 8. Annual bills have to be paid for maximum 25 years aer admission, OR ll the member survives - whichever is LESS. 9. The benefit to the families of FBS members (beginning aer one full year of incubaon period) is available ll your LAST BREATH. No fixed Insurance tenure, alike LIC policies. # Incredible feature, unique of FBS # 10. Basic theme of FBS : During your lifeme, you regularly contribute a small amount of money towards your deceased FBS colleagues (via the annual FC bill). Your family is equally assured of a similar but larger benefit in future, when you are no more. 11. THE LONGER ONE LIVES - HIS FAMILY BENEFITS MORE, because FBS is then a larger group of like-minded members.

FBS IAP is beer than LIC- More benefit and added dignity to the dependents in case of unexpected situaon. Well organized, well programmed scheme. Easy to join and easy to get money in case of unexpected eventuality. Again it helps togetherness in the associaon.

Why FBS is superior to even LIC : 1. The annual bills payable by all FBS members are equal, once you become a FBS member. They are only a fracon of LIC PREMIA, comparavely. 2. No MEDICAL CHECK UP mandatory, at the me of admission to FBS. 3. There is no fixed tenure for your insurance coverage. YOU ARE INSURED FOR FULL LIFE. 4. The Insurance benefit to nominees is not FIXED, it rises every year. Those who live long, their families benefit more. 5. You do philanthropy while you are alive, because, every year, you contribute towards the families of deceased colleagues in FBS. A very sasfying experience indeed. Organised Charity, in other words.

Join FBS today and secure your family IAP KERALA : SOUTH ZONE Report of Acvies: July 2019 IAP KOLLAM
