The BSLI Saral Health Plan is a non-participating, unit linked health insurance plan. All
BSLI Saral Health Plan

unit linked health insurance plans are different from traditional insurance plans and are
subject to different risk factors. The name of the investment funds and that of this plan
do not in any way indicate the quality of the plan or future returns.

In this plan, the investment risk in the investment options chosen by you is borne by
you. Investment funds are subject to investment risks and unit prices may go up or
down reflecting the market value of the underlying assets. Past performance is no
guarantee of future results.
