Things to consider before cancelling your policy:

Will adjusting your premium help? Perhaps you can change your payment amount/ frequency/ pick a date of payment that suits you more, set up automatic payments etc.

Are you covered? Continuing the plan allows you to financially protect your loved ones.

How will a new policy compare? make sure the policies you’re comparing offer the same coverage and terms.

Are you aware of the implications of policy closure? Early cancellation may be subject to high Surrender Charges and other policy expenses. Also, if the unit prices are low, it may not be the best time to surrender.

Will a partial withdrawal address your financial need? . If you need a specific amount and your policy is worth more than the amount you need, you can withdraw a portion of your account and leave the rest invested subject to the minimum amount that must be left in your policy.
