Frequently Asked Questions
When is the IPPB incentive credited?
IPPB incentives are usually calculated monthly and credited directly to the GDS’s IPPB account or linked savings account by the 10th-15th of the following month, subject to successful transaction validation.
Is there a penalty for lapsed PLI policies?
Yes. If a PLI/RPLI policy lapses within the first year, the incentive paid may be recovered. Ensure you follow up with customers for renewal payments to earn the continuous Renewal Incentive (1% or 2.5%).
