§ 33-31-4 — Amount of insurance

(a) The amount of credit life insurance shall not exceed the indebtedness. Where indebtedness repayable in substantially equal installments is secured by an individual policy of credit life insurance, the amount of insurance shall not exceed the approximate unpaid indebtedness on the date of death and, where secured by a group policy of credit life insurance, shall not exceed the exact amount of unpaid indebtedness on that date. (b) The amount of indemnity payable by credit accident and sickness insurance in the event of disability, as defined in the policy, shall not exceed the aggregate of the periodic scheduled unpaid installments of indebtedness; and the amount of each periodic indemnity payment shall not exceed the original indebtedness divided by the number of periodic installments. (c) The limitations set forth in subsections (a) and (b) of this Code section shall not apply to insurance regulated under Chapter 3 of Title 7 as to loans made under that chapter. (d) Notwithstanding this Code section, credit life insurance in connection with agricultural loans not exceeding five years may be written up to the amount of the loan or loan commitment on the nondecreasing or level term plan.
