Regulation 56 Options

Provision shall be made to cover any increase in liabilities caused by policy holders exercising options under their contracts.

Where a contract includes an option whereby the policy holder could secure a guaranteed cash payment within twelve months following the valuation date, the provision for that option shall be such as to ensure that the value placed on the contract is not less than the amount required to provide for the payments that would have to be made if the option were exercised.
