The contract specifies the methods for calculating the surrender value or transfer value and, where applicable, the reduction value. For the calculation of the reduction value, no reduction allowance may be deducted from the mathematical provision determined on the basis of the parameters provided for in the policy terms and conditions.
Within the limit of the surrender value of the contract, the insurer may grant loans to the policyholder.
If the policyholder requests that the policy be surrendered, the insurance or capitalisation company will pay the surrender value of the policy within a maximum period of two months.
In the event of a request for transfer of the policy by the member, the insurance company pays the transfer value of the policy to the host insurance company within a period and in accordance with procedures laid down by decree.
After the deadlines mentioned in the two previous paragraphs, any sums not paid automatically accrue interest at half the legal rate for two months, and then at double the legal rate once the two-month period has expired.
